THE SHENZHEN FOOD GUIDE

Where to eat
in Shenzhen.

Explore Shenzhen’s seven Michelin-starred restaurants from the 2026 Guide, then browse Peking duck, late-night chuanr, smoked brisket and Sichuan heat. Your host can help fit a meal into the route.

Find your
flavour.

The 2026 Michelin Guide awarded stars to seven Shenzhen restaurants: two received two stars and five received one. All seven are listed first, by cuisine. The other researched picks answer specific cravings; a Bib Gourmand or Michelin-selected listing does not mean a restaurant has a star. These are published recommendations, not personal visit claims. Check current menus, hours and reservations before setting out. See Michelin’s full 2026 announcement ↗

Leave room
for dinner.

The planner reserves time for meals, visits and travel. Tell us your preferred restaurant or cuisine in the booking notes. A long roast-duck or barbecue dinner may mean choosing fewer attractions. Restaurant bills, reservations and transport are separate from the US$149 per-person, per-day hosting and planning fee.
