Hong Kong and Macau will be the next Asian cities to have their top eateries put on the international culinary map by France’s Michelin guide, the little red book that can make or break a restaurant.
The two cities will each get a guide in December, in English and Chinese, the publisher said Thursday, appearing one year after Michelin took its first step outside Europe and the United States and launched a Tokyo edition that rapidly became a bestseller.
“It is our first step to China,” the guide’s director, Jean-Luc Naret, told reporters here.

MILTON NASCIMENTO
AND THE JOBIM TRIO TOGETHER
IN ‘NOVAS BOSSAS’
Tribute to 50 years of bossa nova brings album and international tour
Tom Jobim used to say that Milton Nascimento was the only singer capable of reaching the original pitches of his compositions. Story has it that it was in the town of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, that João Gilberto rehearsed to exhaustion the acoustic guitar beat that would be key to bossa nova’s birth, in Rio de Janeiro. Nothing more appropriate, therefore, than Milton Nascimento joining the Jobim Trio to celebrate the genre’s fiftieth anniversary with the release of the CD ‘Novas Bossas’ and a national tour kicking off March 14th, at Mistura Fina.

he HI hotel takes over the Forum beach with a new concept
designed by matali crasset called HI beach located on the
Promenade des Anglais, in Nice.
When HI takes over a beach….
Five years after the opening of Hi Hotel, a hotel based a convivial and legible, soft approach of contemporary luxury, Patrick Elouarghi and Philippe Chapelet once again teamed up with matali crasset to create HI beach, an innovative concept that reconciles the simplicity of the pleasures of the beach and the seaside.
As they did for the Hi hotel, the trio has developed a new logic of spaces, a beach where each of usmn will find their own rhythm and well being.
During the day, Hi beach is a complete balneal space which offers high standard services on an exceptional site.
