The 12th edition of the Foodie Forks 2026 awards ceremony arrived with grand spectacle and community support on May 18 at Soho House as Foodie brought  together 200 chefs, bartenders, restaurateurs, business owners, and influencers for a night of celebrating Hong Kong’s top-class dining scene.

On the night, we bestowed awards to 48 restaurants, bars, and cafes across Hong Kong. From the stars fuelling fine-dining kitchens and those cooking honest food to the range of quality establishments we are proud to support, these award winners stand as the best of the best.

We could have not hosted Foodie Forks 2026 without our sponsors and supporters – HKSAR Government’s investment promotion agency InvestHK, leading booking-management system inline, premium food caterer Delicious Hong Kong, and sustainable drinks startup Breer.
