Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou Celebrates Dual Accolades in Michelin Guide Guangzhou 2025

Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou celebrates renewed acclaim in Michelin Guide Guangzhou 2025, with two restaurants achieving prestigious distinctions. Cantonese restaurant Yu Yue Heen has once again retained its one Michelin star, marking an impressive eighth consecutive year holding this culinary distinction. Complementing this achievement, contemporary French restaurant Catch earned its third successive inclusion as a Michelin-selected restaurant.

Fine Cantonese Excellence

Perched on Hotel’s 71st floor, Yu Yue Heen offers more than just extraordinary Cantonese cuisine, it delivers an immersive experience where tradition meets innovation amid panoramic views of the Pearl River. Under the guidance of Executive Chinese Chef Yongsheng Li, the recipient of Michelin Young Chef Award Guangzhou 2024, the restaurant expertly balances ancestral mastery with modern flair.

Chef Li’s culinary philosophy is inspired by a rich tapestry of regional wisdom, reinterpreted through meticulous technique and inventive presentation. Signature dishes such as the Abalone Pastry, featuring a whole 5-head abalone cocooned within a feather-light pastry shell, and the Roasted Magang Goose, marinated to perfection and roasted to achieve a crisp, glassy skin, exemplify his dedication to elevating Cantonese culinary artistry. Elegant innovations like Boiled Sea Whelk, sliced, freshly cooked in a delicate broth, and finished with aromatic basil, embody his approach to contemporary Cantonese cuisine.

French Elegance Meets Artistic Innovation

Catch offers a sophisticated setting inspired by the galaxy, where panoramic views of the city’s skyline complement the elegant ambiance on the Hotel’s 100th floor. Here, Chef Liven He redefines French cuisine by melding classical techniques with avant-garde aesthetics, transforming each dish into a narrative that balances taste, texture, and visual poetry.

For Chef Liven, cooking is both a precise science and an artistic exploration. Each new dish begins as a sketch, evolving into a multi-dimensional work of art composed of flavours, textures, colours, and aromas. His inspiration stems from diverse fields of history and culture, and he sees the relationship between the restaurant and guests akin to "a book and its readers" with each dish conveying a unique narrative. Catch’s signature Onion Soup embodies Chef Liven’s artistic vision, a reimagined classic where intense caramelized broth meets ethereal onion ice cream in a daring interplay of temperature and texture.

A Testament to Culinary Excellence

Beyond the honour itself, Michelin accolades symbolize Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou’s unwavering commitment to culinary distinction and innovation. Situated along the Pearl River, this luxury sanctuary continues to define the city’s epicurean landscape, inviting discerning diners to indulge in legendary experiences that elevate Guangzhou’s gastronomic narrative.
