Today’s Best Hong Kong

Restaurant Experience

MONO

MONO is one of Hong Kong’s most distinctive fine-dining destinations, bringing the flavours, ingredients and cultural heritage of Latin America to the heart of Central. Opened in 2019 by chef-owner Ricardo Chaneton in collaboration with JIA Group, the intimate 22-seat restaurant reflects Chaneton’s Venezuelan roots and European culinary training. Its constantly evolving cuisine creates a bridge between Latin America and Asia, combining vibrant Latin American flavours and carefully sourced ingredients with the precision of French culinary techniques. 

More than simply a restaurant, MONO presents Latin American gastronomy through storytelling, craftsmanship and personal heritage. Its intimate setting, including a kitchen counter that brings guests closer to the culinary process, complements tasting experiences designed to explore the diversity and depth of Latin American cuisine. 

MONO’s international standing was further elevated at the World Culinary Awards 2025, where it achieved an exceptional double victory, being named Asia’s Best Restaurant 2025 and Hong Kong’s Best Restaurant 2025.  The restaurant was also among the nominees for World’s Best Restaurant 2025, placing it alongside internationally renowned establishments from Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and the Middle East. 

These honours reinforce MONO’s position as a leading voice in Hong Kong’s contemporary dining scene and an important international showcase for modern Latin American gastronomy.
