The French restaurant’s history can be dated back to 2001 when Dr. Stanley Ho invited internationally renowned Chef Joël Robuchon to open Robuchon a Galera at Hotel Lisboa, which later became the first Western restaurant to garner 3 MICHELIN Stars in the inaugural edition of MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong and Macau 2009.
The 8, a homegrown brand created by SJM to showcase the best of Chinese cuisine, was once again awarded 3 MICHELIN Stars today.
The Kitchen, renowned for its premium selection of steaks and fresh seafood, was awarded 1 MICHELIN Star. 2 Both The 8 and The Kitchen have successfully retained their MICHELIN-star status for nine consecutive years.
Home to all three restaurants, Grand Lisboa Macau holds the distinction of being the only hotel in Macau to house two MICHELIN 3-star restaurants.
