3 Best Restaurants in Macau Outer Harbour, Macau

The first American steak house in Macau serves premium-quality steaks and seafood in a space that evokes 1960s Las Vegas. Chefs flame-grill your favorite cuts from an open kitchen as you dine under chandeliers and celebrity photos. The steaks are great, but they don’t come cheap. A 40-ounce grain-fed tomahawk from Australia tops the list at MOP$1,688. Prep your palate with fresh Gillardeau oysters, roasted bone marrow, or a seafood tower featuring Boston lobster, king crab, marinated Galician octopus, and tiger prawns. For dessert, try the classic New York cheesecake with blueberry ravioli.

A packed house is always a good sign. The Artyzen Grand Lapa’s elegant Cantonese restaurant draws local diners daily with its refined setting—crisp white linens, Chinese artwork, plush carpeting—and a menu of classics like Peking duck, tea-smoked fried chicken, and crabmeat baked in the shell. Lunchtime dim sum shines with juicy shrimp dumplings, truffle-flecked spring rolls, and delicate rice flour rolls with porcini mushrooms, and there’s a great plant-based menu of Cantonese dishes.

Vic’s Restaurante stays true to Portuguese traditions but lifts them up using top-tier ingredients and tools. Succulent 40-month-aged black Ibérico pork is put to use in a few different ways, while whole lobster rice, made for two to share, is cooked in a traditional Algarve copper pot. The food and service are excellent, but the breezy terrace facing the waterfront elevates it to a higher level. It’s one reason the restaurant has become a favorite among Macau’s Portuguese expat crowd.
