Did you know? Macau cuisine is the original fusion food. Macanese food is mixture between Chinese and Portuguese! (This happened through the times when Macau was administered by Portugal from mid 16th century to almost the 21st century, 1999 to be exact!) With its rich historical culture, it is no wonder why their food has such a vibrant variety, from Chinese, Cantonese, Portuguese to Macanese. Today I’m gonna take you for a ride of the marvelous food I’ve tried in Macau, from street food to Michelin star restaurants. ✯✯✯✯✯
☞ Antonio’s (Michelin recommended, Louis Vuitton city guide, Tatler best restaurants and so much more)
Location: Taipa Village
Website: http://antoniomacau.com/
Definitely my favorite restaurant in Macau. If you want to experience the authentic Portuguese Macanese dishes, with live one man band (sings with guitar) and cozy ambience. This is it. For extra boost to add on to your one-in-a-lifetime experience, try order Crepe suzette! 3-michelin-stars Chef Antonio himself will invite you to join him cooking at your table and be prepared for a fiery ride!
☞ Restaurante Litoral
Location: Macau Peninsula
Website: http://www.restaurantelitoral.com/
Another popular local traditional Portuguese Macanese restaurant with more mature settings and environment.
☞ Restaurante Espaco Lisboa
Location: Coloane
A cute romantic Portuguese-Macanese restaurant nearby the famous original Lord Stow’s egg tart bakery!
☞ Lord Stow’s Bakery (original branch)
Location: Coloane
Website: http://www.lordstow.com/
One of the things that pops up in people’s mind when speaking of Macau, is the Egg tart! And when speaking of egg tart in Macau, everyone will tell you to go to Lord Stow’s bakery! A lil fun fact: there’s another similar bakery near Senado Square called Margaret’s e nata café, the owner? Lord Stow’s ex-wife! No wonder why it tastes so familiar huh ;p
☞ Dynasty 8
Location: Conrad Macau, Cotai Central
Website: http://www.sandscotaicentral.com/macau-restaurants/chinese-food/dynasty-8.html
A regular Chinese restaurant, but what impressed me the most is the fact that they have a short tiny table where ladies can put their bag on while eating! Talk about hospitality! A major problem for all ladies who carry handbags, basically everyone! We always need to get extra chair, or hang it on the chair, or let the bag share half of our chair! So Bravo! And obviously the food is Goo-Oood tooo! HEre i picked out my favorite dishes!
☞ Jade Dragon Restaurant (Michelin starred restaurant)
Location: City of Dream, Cotai strip
Website: http://www.cityofdreamsmacau.com/dining/chinese/jade-dragon Probably the most exclusive and expensive restaurant with millions of dollars on investment, from the interior designs, décor, utensils and obviously the exquisite ingredients for the dishes that are created by Chef Tam Kwok Fung. Be prepared for a fabulous Chinese fine dining.
☞ Lua Azul
Location: Macau Tower
Website: https://www.macautower.com.mo/dining/lua-azul
Looking for Dimsum? Looking for fine dining setting? Looking for traditional Guangdong culinary? Look no further! Look for Lua Azul! Enjoy the numerous dimsum menu they offered, but better yet, the taste will make you smile like a crazy person! Or is that just me?
☞ Leitaria I Son
Location: Near Senado square
Need something cool? Or something hot? Not too much, not too little. Just to warm up or cool down. Here I highly recommend you steamed milk pudding with red beans! (Well im a big red beans lover) Everytime I go, the café is always packed! And I know exactly why! Go try yourself!
☞ Patisserie at MGM (aka Pastry bar)
Location: MGM hotel
, Macau peninsula
Website: http://www.mgmmacau.com/pastry-bar
“The only things more colorful than the décor are the fragrant whiffs of savory goodies.” Their quote didn’t do them justice. Not just the smell, but the taste! The looks! It’s a brillian work of art. You’ll feel very girly at this Pastry Bar being undecisive of which one to eat. A Truly Desserts heaven!
☞ Prive French restaurant
Location: Sofitel Macau Ponte 16
Website: http://www.sofitelmacau.com/en/prive.html
An Exceptional French fine dining experience, this small upscale boutique French restaurant has only 24 seats available with a gorgeous view of Macau. Each dish is well paired up with French wine. And don’t underestimate the small portion, I almost didn’t have enough belly space for desserts.! (Untrue, all girls always have extra space for desserts)
☞ Robuchon Au Dome (3 michelin stars)
Location: Grand Lisboa hotel, Macau peninsula
Website: http://www.grandlisboahotel.com/dining-Robuchon_au_Dome-en
Exquisite experience! Feeling pampered at this gorgeous 3 michelin stars restaurant, situated at the dome of Grand Lisboa hotel that overlooks the Macau peninsula. Too bad the day I went was a little foggy though L When you enter this restaurant, you will feel like a royalty, from the excellent service, marvelous food; a truly mixture of art and culinary, spectacular interior design; the chandelier, the plates, the décor, the grand piano… urgh everything is a dream!
Other yum yum in the tum tums. Below are some photos from cafes/restaurants worth mentioning!
Other restaurants i’ve been to but didn’t get a chance to take photos, sorry! But undeniably worth mentioning are A lorcha, Fernando’s, and Miramar. Well hope you piglets have fun eating and enjoying all the food in Macau. Let me know what you think! Or recommend any that you think I should try! But for now…. Oink Oink!
