InterContinental Hong Kong's restaurants receive a total of three Michelin stars

The 2018 Michelin Guide to Hong Kong and Macau has honoured two of the InterContinental Hong Kong's restaurants with a total of three Michelin stars – two stars for its Yan Toh Heen Cantonese restaurant and one star for the recently-opened Rech by Alain Ducasse, which debuted in March 2017. Rech by Alain Ducasse is  the hotel's newest restaurant and the first international outpost of Paris' most famous seafood restaurant.

InterContinental Hong Kong's GM Claus Pedersen said, “To receive these stars is an honour and great recognition of the hard work by all of our team members. The Michelin stars further enhance InterContinental Hong Kong's position as a destination for truly memorable dining experiences.

“Our goal is to have great restaurants that our guests love. We are committed to consistently delivering top quality cuisine and service.”

This is the fourth consecutive year that Yan Toh Heen has received two Michelin stars. The restaurant has served fine Cantonese cuisine for 33 years.

Executive Chef Lau Yiu Fai, who has been with the restaurant since it opened in 1984, and his team use only the finest and freshest seasonal produce, refined Chinese cooking methods and a creative modern presentation.

The restaurant features an extensive ala carte menu, plus set lunch and dinner menus and special menus showcasing seasonal Cantonese specialties. At lunchtime, guests can enjoy both traditional and innovative dim sum.

One of the most famous seafood restaurants in Paris, Rech, founded in 1925 and reborn by Alain Ducasse in 2007, made its international debut about nine months ago at InterContinental Hong Kong in the space that was formerly SPOON by Alain Ducasse. An authentically French seafood experience, it showcases the freshest oysters and fish from France with Chef Alain Ducasse's personal interpretation and contemporary cuisine in a modern and relaxed seaside-inspired ambiance with the InterContinental Hong Kong's panoramic harbour views.

Executive Chef Stéphane Gortina, who has worked with Alain Ducasse for over 12 years at a diverse selection of his global restaurants, has led the kitchen since the restaurant opened. He was previously Executive Chef at SPOON by Alain Ducasse.

Marie Deroudilhe, who revamped the Parisian restaurant in 2012, designed the Hong Kong outpost with key design elements that are reminiscent of the sea - the inside of a seashell, a piece of floating  wood, drifting clouds, plus the shimmering sunlight on the surface of the water and waves.

InterContinental Hong Kong's restaurants also include NOBU InterContinental Hong Kong, THE STEAK HOUSE winebar + grill and the Harbourside.

Details:

InterContinental Hong Kong is at 18 Salisbury Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Rech by Alain Ducasse is open Tuesday – Sunday for dinner and on Sunday for lunch. Yan Toh Heen is open for both lunch and dinner.
