3. Best Restaurateur: Pirata Group
Manuel Palacio and Christian Talpo are a force to be reckoned with in the Hong Kong restaurant scene.
Heading Pirata Group, the duo run no fewer than 12 venues — many of which are firm favorites of Hong Kong foodies: Pirata, The Optimist, TokyoLima, Pici (in SoHo and Wan Chai), MEATS, Madame Ching, Chaiwala and adjoining salon Hugger Mugger, TMK, Honjo and eatery-slash-events space The Loft.
