It\u2019s been a banner year for the city\u2019s restaurants and bars. Not only did Hong Kong host the World\u2019s 50 Best Bars<\/span> for the first time (Macau having hosted Asia\u2019s 50 Best Bars earlier in the year as well), 2025 also marked the first time that an Asian bar earned the top spot with Bar Leone<\/span> taking home the honour.<\/div>\n

But it wasn\u2019t all good news. There were high-profile closures, from Sushiyoshi to Castellana to Stockton, and a pervading sense that the city\u2019s F&B is still adjusting to new realities post-Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Now, with 2025 nearly in the rear-view mirror, we speak to several of the scenes\u2019 movers and shakers about their pits and peaks of the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

What was the highest point of the year for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opening my bar, Mius<\/span>. It felt like stepping into a new chapter that I built with my own hands. Honestly, however, it was the people that made it a high \u2013 a small team with big passion and guests who kept choosing us even when we were new.<\/div>\n

What about the lowest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not a personal low, but a stressful pause. Our liquor license application was delayed for weeks in August due to unexpected situations. It was a worrying few weeks, but it gave us breathing room to improve processes and align the team more clearly before opening.<\/p>\n

What are you looking forward to in 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
