If Michelin is your benchmark, the only five 3-star Michelin restaurants in Hong Kong are 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana , L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Lung King Heen, Bo Innovation and Sushi Shikon.
Located at Landmark Mandarin Oriental near Central, Amber is the perfect blend of the producers from East and cooking techniques from the West.
Chef Richard Ekkebus, Dutch-born and French-trained, loves a light touch to his cooking, with great emphasis placed on creative beautiful presentations.
Amber is easily one of my favourite Hong Kong fine dining restaurant. Without trying to exaggerate too much, I am starting to suspect that even ‘delicious’ is not enough to describe my meal there.
8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana is the only Italian restaurant outside of Italy to have received 3 Michelin stars – that means it serves exceptional cuisine, and worth a special journey.
Both mains I had were exceptional – a Colorado Rack of Lamb with Artichoke Puree, Black Olive and Lamb Jus, or the choice of a Tajima Short Rib and Beef Tenderloin with red wine and plum sauce, whipped potato on side.
Fook Lam Moon 福臨門 is known to be a popular Chinese restaurant for the rich and famous, with a status of being the ‘Cafeteria for the Wealthy’.
We would recommend the Baked BBQ Buns, Deep Fried Beancurd Skin with Prawns and Salted Custard Liu Sha Bao, mainly done the old-school way.
The rich has been loyal supporters, and it shows through its food quality.

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon of Hong Kong is divided into two areas – an open L’Atelier and a closer intimate Le Jardin – located at The Landmark.
We would recommend sitting at the L’Atelier counter where you can watch the chefs in full action within an open kitchen concept.
Words we would definitely use to describe the restaurant – sexy, cool, energetic, friendly, enthusiastic, and lively. Food is underwhelming though, and we felt little impressed.
With a name that means “view of the dragon”, it almost feels that you are walking into a palace with an open dining hall offering a panorama of the Victoria Harbour. This is the world’s first Chinese restaurant and the only Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong awarded the coveted maximum of 3 Michelin stars.
Executive Chef Chan Yan Tak does an amazing job with creating menus serving exquisite delicate dim sum, with popular items including Steamed Lobster and Scallop Dumpling, Baked Whole Abalone Puff with Diced Chicken and Steamed Shrimp and Pork Dumplings with Crab Roe.
Be prepared to pay at least 3-4 more than the usual dim sum restaurants. Reservations at least a month or two before highly recommended.
