HONG KONG, March 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- South China Morning Post Publishers Limited, a leading media company in Asia, yesterday announced the launch of the sixth edition of 100 Top Tables - A CEO's Dining Guide, the definitive chief executive's guide to the best restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau.

Highlighting 100 Hong Kong restaurants and 20 Macau-based restaurants, 100 Top Tables is a comprehensive guide, a must-have for senior executives in the quest to find the best restaurants for business or pleasure. The complete list can be found at the end of this press release and on this site https://www.scmp.com/topics/100-top-tables.

The list is thoughtfully categorised by cuisine: Chinese, East/West, French, Italian, Japanese, Steak and Grills, and Western, along with a separate Macau section. SCMP's food critics and lifestyle experts hand-selected each restaurant, adhering to the primary selection criterion of overall dining experience. While some restaurants are veterans of the guide, others have been newly inducted this year.

100 Top Tables provides the reader with an impartial overview of each restaurant, including information on a restaurant's cuisine and ambiance -- from a shortlist of signature dishes and the price of corkage to amenities like valet parking and alfresco dining. Contact details, including a restaurant's address and hours of operation, are also listed.

Through a selection process that reflects SCMP's commitment to impartiality and integrity, 100 Top Tables celebrates the culinary establishments in Hong Kong and Macau that resolutely strive for excellence."

Ms. Winnie Chung, Editorial Director of Specialist Publications at South China Morning Post, said, "It was a privilege to spearhead this year's 100 Top Tables, as the past iterations have been so well received. Hong Kong and Macau are vibrant cities housing innumerable top restaurants, making the competition fierce and the selection process challenging. We are confident that we have culled the best of the best in executive dining -- those that consistently provide noteworthy culinary experiences -- and we're delighted not only to celebrate them, but also share them with our readers."

100 Top Tables 2018 will be available at major bookstores and supermarkets in Hong Kong at a retail price of HK$168 on March 28. In-store copies can be found at a number of premium airport lounges in Asia and select recreation clubs.
