Impact Award

Black Sheep Restaurants

In a year marked by a torrent of new openings, Black Sheep Restaurants has kept up the pace, reopening crowd favourites Belon and Ho Lee Fook, and bringing cult gelato brand Messina, dive bar

The Last Resort, a Butter Cake Shop flagship and a new La Vache location to the mix. The group’s impact, however, cannot be calculated simply in terms of total venues—this year, they have amped up efforts to support their staff through Hong Kong’s ongoing Covid restrictions and quarantine rules, while creating transportative experiences across the city for guests who miss the thrill of international travel.
