Shenzhen just stepped onto the world’s culinary stage, and it’s already shining. For the very first time, Shenzhen has officially earned its place in the legendary MICHELIN Guide, and what a debut it is! Unveiled on August 18 as part of the MICHELIN Guide Guangzhou & Shenzhen 2026, the city’s inaugural selection bursts onto the scene with 7 standout restaurants claiming coveted stars: 2 Two-Star and 5 One-Star gems.

At the very top? The Bay by Chef Fei and Yun Jing, both crowned with Two MICHELIN Stars specializing in Cantonese cuisine, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the city.

The One-Star luminaries? Chao Shang Chao, specializing in Chaozhou cuisine, Ensue and Fumée, both offering fusion cuisine, Opus 388, serving French contemporary cuisine and Xin Rong Ji specializing in Taizhou cuisine.

But the feast doesn't stop there! Beyond the stars, 21 Shenzhen restaurants snagged the Bib Gourmand distinction, a delicious nod to outstanding quality at more approachable prices. From the bold flavors of Cantonese and Chaozhou to the fiery kicks of Sichuan, the comforting soul of Hakka, and the refined elegance of Ningbo cuisine, this list is a true love letter to Shenzhen's wildly diverse food scene.

For a first-time entry, this guide doesn't just scratch the surface, it dives deep, celebrating everything from high-end destination dining to the beloved local haunts that make this city so deliciously unique.
