“As we navigate the challenges brought about by the pandemic, we’re glad to see that Hong Kong and Macao have reopened their doors to travellers,” said Chris Gledhill, vice president of business development for the Michelin Guide in East Asia and the Middle East.
Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, head of the Macao Government Tourism Office, was present at the gathering and told guests that Macao had been “utilising wining and dining for many years as one of the most important parts of the tourism mix”.
Last year, a total of 15 Macao restaurants made it into the guide, comprising three three-star restaurants, five two-star restaurants and seven one-star restaurants.
To celebrate the launch of the 2023 guide, a gala dinner will be held at the Grand Lisboa Palace on Wednesday evening, featuring an eight-course menu created by seven chefs honoured in the 2022 Michelin Guide.
