The landmark Foodie Forks 2025 is set for a grand return to Hong Kong in late September for the 11th edition of the restaurant and bar awards, recognising the very best of dining and drinking in our city.
The Foodie Forks 2025 awards ceremony is returning on Sep. 22 at Central Market, in the heart of Hong Kong. This ceremony is dedicated to our appreciation of the selfless efforts that Hong Kong’s chefs, bartenders, restaurateuers, and food lovers have made over the past 12 months.
Last year, Foodie Forks 2024 celebrated the achievements of stellar food figures and venues, including chef Richard Ekkebus of Amber, bartender Lorenzo Antinori of Bar Leone, Dough Bros, Roganic, Hashtag B, CHAAT, and Little Napoli.
We are joining hands with our valued partners Inline, Central Market, and To-Plate; together with our event beverage partners ONLY Beverages and Saicho, and catering partners Delicious HK.
