From the recently-launched Miele Guide, which evaluates and celebrates Asia’s best restaurants, we feature the top three dining places in Hong Kong.

Caprice (shown above) is the Four Seasons Hotel’s French restaurant headed by chef de cuisine Vincent Thierry. The ambience is rather formal, the decor elaborate but still elegant. The food is contemporary French cuisine with appetizers like Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Sea Urchin. Caprice has a prix fixe tasting menu that costs HK$ 1,080 (approximately US$ 140) per person.

Hutong, at the 28^th floor of One Peking in Tsim Sha Tsui, has the look, feel and sound of old-fashioned China with its intricately carved antique wooden screens and red lanterns. The impressive views of Hong Kong’s skyline reminds you, however, of the modern world outside. The food traces its roots from northern China while using new ingredients in recipes like Poached Frog Legs with Sponge Cucumbers in Spicy Chili Broth. A set lunch for two people will only cost you HK$ 238 (approximately US$ 31) per person, available only on weekdays. A minimum charge of HK$ 300 (approximately US$ 39) per person is applied during dinner.

The top restaurant in Hong Kong according to the Miele Guide is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon at the Landmark in Central. L’Atelier’s main feature is its open kitchen surrounded by a circular bar with 36 seats, which allows diners to watch while their food is being prepared. While there are also tables and private rooms, the bar has, hands down, the best seats in the house. The ambience is casual and friendly; Robuchon’s version modern haute cuisine is impeccable. The set lunch at L’Atelier will cost you HK$ 390 (approximately US$ 50) while the tasting menu will set you back HK$ 1,450 (approximately US$ 187).
