The Chairman
Ingredient-led Cantonese dining on the third floor of The Wellington at 198 Wellington Street, Central, after the restaurant’s 2022 move from Kau U Fong. Owner Danny Yip’s kitchen emphasises seasonal produce and set menus emailed ahead of service; the steamed flower crab with aged Shaoxing wine remains the signature plate visitors plan around. The Hong Kong MICHELIN Guide 2026 lists The Chairman at one star, and Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 ranked it No. 1 in Asia. Book through the restaurant’s official channels well ahead; confirm current menu pricing and dress expectations when reserving.

While you're there
Wellington Street in Central puts you in Mid-Levels escalator country. Walk Ladder Street lanes if legs allow; for harbour Cantonese lunch another day, Lung King Heen is the IFC contrast. Book The Chairman far ahead.
Pro Tip: Book as far ahead as Wellington Street allows, and do not plan steep Mid-Levels walking right after; a heavy Cantonese dinner plus Ladder Street is how the night ends early for the wrong reason.
- Best for
- Central Cantonese with Mid-Levels lane walking afterward only if legs allow.
- Pair with
- Lung King Heen for harbour lunch another day.
- Season / timing
- Art March late March and weekend dinners need the longest lead.
