Daniel Calvert and Richie Corrigan, son of Irish chef Richard Corrigan, are among those recognised in this year's Michelin guide for Macau and Hong Kong, which saw two new sites were handed their third stars.
Belon in Hong Kong's Soho area, where Calvert works as head chef and Corrigan as restaurant manager, was one of six restaurants to be newly awarded a one star rating along with Arbor, Guo Fu Lou, New Punjab Club, Octavium, Xin Rong J .
Meanwhile two restaurants were awarded the coveted top prize three stars - Caprice at the Four Seasons, Hong Kong and Jade Dragon at City of Dreams, Macau.
Four restaurants - Alain Ducasse at Morpheus, Écriture, Ying Jee Club and Sushi Saito - picked up two stars in the guide for the first time. Alain Ducasse's stars in the Macau outlet come despite having opened in June.
Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of Michelin Guides, said: "Hong Kong and Macau are very special cities within the gastronomic world.
"They attract many tourists and business people from around the world, and as a result these cities have been blessed with gastronomic influences that oscillate between traditional Cantonese and Macau cuisine, combined with international flavours.
"The 2019 selection highlights this diversity particularly well, and the many star additions testify to the dynamism and talent that permeate the Hong Kong and Macau dining scene."
