WHISK & Cuisine Cuisine at The Mira
Earn Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards in 2018
1 August 2018, Hong Kong: For the fourth season The Mira Hong Kong has been honored for
its outstanding wine program in Wine Spectator’s 2018 Restaurant Awards at two of its
Michelin-recommended restaurants: ingredient-driven Western concept WHISK, and authentic
Cantonese eatery Cuisine Cuisine. The restaurants are recognized among other 3,700 winners
from all over the globe as top destinations for wine lovers. This season’s edition of awards
features 30 dining establishments from Hong Kong.
“This year’s class of restaurants is one of the most impressive and innovative ever,” said Marvin
R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “Their wine lists keep improving, because
wine lovers are eager to explore and learn. The goal of our Restaurant Awards is to support
restaurant wine programs and bring them to diners’ attention through our outreach through print,
digital and social media. Wine Spectator salutes every restaurant honored in the 2018
Restaurant Awards.”
“Featuring an eclectic selection of wines at astonishing value
including hand-picked, boutique wines and grower champagnes,
as part of their extensive wine programs, both Cuisine Cuisine at
The Mira and WHISK regularly host wine dinners with some of the
most acclaimed winery owners and representatives of the world of
fine wines to bring the authentic wine and food pairing experience
to local and international gourmands. We feel truly honored to be
distinguished for our efforts in honing a more sophisticated wine
culture in Hong Kong, a prominent Asian foodie mecca on par with
gourmet capital cities of the world,” said Tony Kok, Director of
Food & Beverage, The Mira Hong Kong.
Wine Spectator began its program to recognize the world’s best wine lists in 1981. There are
three levels: the Award of Excellence, the Best of Award of Excellence and the Grand Award—
with 2,453; 1,215; and 91 winners this year in each respective category.
Cuisine Cuisine at The Mira, featuring more than 380 picks with notable selection of
Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italian and Australian wines, won the Best of Award of Excellence
whose recipients offer more extensive selections with significant vintage depth and excellent
breadth across multiple regions. These restaurants are destinations for serious wine lovers,
showing a deep commitment to wine, both in the cellar and through their service team.
WHISK, commanded for strength in wines from France and Italy in its well-balanced 380
selection, received once again The Award of Excellence which recognizes restaurants whose
wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers along with a thematic match to
the menu in both price and style. Whether compact or extensive, focused or diverse, these lists
deliver sufficient choice to satisfy discerning wine lovers.
The complete list of award winners is available in print in Wine Spectator’s August issue, on
newsstands July 17, and online at Restaurants.WineSpectator.com, where visitors can search
and access exclusive content on the more than 3,700 restaurants. The full list is also available
for free on iOS via the Restaurant Awards app, which allows users to look for dining spots in
any location with maps, choosing by wine strengths, cuisine type, pricing and more.
