100 Top Tables 2025: unveiling Hong Kong and Macau's finest restaurants and bars, celebrating the best new talents, recognising sustainable practices, plus a tribute to a legendary chef
Yesterday saw the unveiling of the 100 Top Tables Guide 2025 , published by the South China Morning Post. Marking its 13th year, the publication is an annual independent guide to the best fine dining restaurants and bars in Hong Kong and Macau, as judged by the Post's dedicated F&B writers. The current volume presents a curated selection of 100 Hong Kong restaurants, 30 distinguished Macau establishments and 20 of Hong Kong's most noteworthy bars. Advertisement The 2025 roll-out took place in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, and was supported by Standard Chartered Priority Private. The event in Central spotlighted the accomplishments of the 150 recognised establishments, and was fittingly attended by hundreds of prominent figures from across Hong Kong and Macau's F&B industries.

Photo: Jocelyn Tam Kevin Huang, chief operating officer at the South China Morning Post, told the audience: '100 Top Tables 2025 is the definitive guide to the most outstanding fine dining restaurants and bars in Hong Kong and Macau … This edition is the largest ever produced. It reflects the talent, quality and resilience of our cities and highlights the dynamism that will lead us into the future.' This year's 100 Top Tables guide represents an 'evolution rather than a revolution', according to content director Douglas Parkes. 'Last year, for the first 100 Top Tables event since Covid restrictions ended, we wanted to use that occasion to revamp the guide and our awards event. That meant significant changes to the look of the guide, the live event and our overall branding. This year we have made further adjustments, such as increasing the number of Macau restaurants and bars, but otherwise it's not as radical a change as last year's.' In keeping with the new format launched in 2024, the event saw 10 special award winners named on the night during the ceremony. The team from C108 celebrating at the 100 Top Tables 2025 event.

The penultimate award, presented by Marco Lee, deputy head of marketing, wealth and retail banking, at Standard Chartered Hong Kong Limited, was the best chef award, which went to Tam Kwok-fung of Chef Tam's Seasons in Macau.
