Vastly popular A Lorcha (the name means "wooden ship") celebrates the heritage of Macau as an important port with a maritime-theme menu. Save room for serradura (Macau sawdust pudding, made with biscuits and whipped cream).
The first traditional American steak house in Macau serves premium-quality steaks and seafood in a space that evokes 1960s Las Vegas. A large fireplace that pops and crackles during the winter months blends in perfectly with the vintage chandeliers and celebrity photos hanging on the walls. Sip a cocktail at the bar and brace yourself for huge slabs of beef, grilled to juicy perfection before your eyes in the open kitchen. A 20-ounce cowboy wagyu steak from Australia tops the list at MOP$998. Other dishes include Norwegian salmon fillet and seared Hokkaido scallops when in season. For dessert, try the sinfully rich crème brûlée.
"Quirky" springs to mind when describing the colorful decor, with plastic monkey puppets and funky chicken toys hanging from the ceilings. The eclectic clientele includes graphic designers, gambling-compliance lawyers, and 10-year-old Cantonese kids celebrating birthdays.
Don't let this restaurant's mall location or dynastic Chinese decor turn you off. Kitschy setting aside, Dynasty 8 serves some of the best—and most photogenic—dim sum in town.
A tiny spot overlooking Sai Van Lake, Henri's Galley has been serving up home-style Macanese cuisine since 1976. The place is cozy and unpretentious, with a few tables outside should the weather decide to play nice.
Michelin-starred Lai Heen showcases haute Chinese cuisine in a sky-high dining room at The Ritz-Carlton, Macau. The menu might focus on fine Cantonese dishes, but the decor weaves together Macau's east-meets-west heritage with Portuguese-style mosaics, wood-carved partitions, eye-catching artwork, and plush furniture.
Originally a modest, traditional bakery opened by a young Englishman named Andrew Stow in 1989, Lord Stow's Bakery is now a culinary landmark in Coloane, just off the town square. Locals sit on nearby benches munching the signature hot and flaky pasteis de nata (custard tarts) straight from the oven. Inside the little shop, breads, muffins, cookies, flapjacks, and other homemade goods are on offer, but be sure to walk out with at least one tart. The neighboring Lord Stow's Café (853/2888–2174) has sit-down meals as does the outpost in the Venetian Macao (853/2886–6889).
Occupying a converted two-story house with a small but pleasant balcony overlooking Coloane Village, this restaurant is Portuguese owned and has a Portuguese chef—so it’s no surprise that it is a favorite of Portuguese residents.
Everyone in Hong Kong and Macau knows about Fernando's, but the vine-covered entrance close to Hác-Sá Beach is difficult to spot. The open-air dining pavilion and bar have attracted beachgoers for years now, and the enterprising Fernando has built a legendary reputation for his Portuguese fare.
With its southern Italian fare inspired by the Puglia Region and sweeping views of the Macau Peninsula, Aurora is popular with a high-level business clientele and those seeking modern romance. Chef Michele dell'Aquila's menu focuses on seafood, spotlighting pan-roasted cod, Adriatic red snapper, crabs, prawns, and oysters, but there are also plenty of pastas and meats, as well as over 2,000 bottles in the massive wine cellar. A seafood buffet is served from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm on Sunday and costs MOP$488.
This 1930s-style Parisian brasserie in the MGM Macau is one of the trendiest restaurants around. Diners are particularly fond of its catch-of-the-day seafood, French mains, and chic decor.
Inspired by its sister restaurant Made In China in the Grand Hyatt Beijing, Beijing Kitchen features northern Chinese cuisine. One of the signature dishes is the Peking duck, which is cooked in a wood-fired oven, roasting away the fat and leaving the skin crispy. The home-style pan-fried pork dumplings have a delicately thin skin. The open kitchen, exposed brick, high ceilings, dark-wood furnishings, and modern Chinese decor give the eatery a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. The dessert menu contains Chinese sweets such as mango pudding and homemade ice cream.
Located next to the Four Seasons' Bali-inspired poolside, Belcanção offers an impressive buffet spread featuring Portuguese, Indian, Chinese, Italian, and a smaller selection of Japanese dishes. The dessert and salad bars are amply stocked, and the service is impeccable. Try the codfish with chickpeas salad, have a slice of thin-crust pizza, and wash it all down with fresh fruit juice. Follow up with an egg tart or serradura.
Founded in 1870 as a private military club, the stately pink-and-white structure was restored in 1995 and reopened as a restaurant. The languid Old World atmosphere perfectly complements the extensive list of traditional Portuguese dishes.
Well known to both locals and visitors from Hong Kong, Fat Siu Lau has kept its customers coming back since 1903 with delicious Macanese favorites and modern creations. A second branch, called Fat Siu Lau 3, is in Taipa Village and offers the same great food albeit in more modern settings.
With its dedicated view of the Wynn Macau's Performance Lake show and the flashing glows of the Lisboa casinos providing ambience, one of the most romantic restaurants in Macau plays host to Asian celebrities and well–heeled travelers alike. Popular among the impeccable southern Italian delights are tenderloin carpaccio and cioppino starters and sweet potato and pancetta gnocchi, accompanied by chilled wine from an exhaustive list. Desserts range from crispy cannoli to homemade sorbets and ice cream imported straight from Italy. Window seats in particular are at a premium and are best reserved three weeks in advance. The dress code is "casual elegance," which means long pants, closed-toe shoes, and no open shirts for men; this is not the place for children under five.
Next to Aurora and with the same stunning views of the peninsula, Kira serves quality Japanese fare. Its wasabi, for example, comes fresh and doesn't burn badly—truly sublime mustard is a sign that something fresh is taking place in the kitchen. Outdoor deck seating is a nice way to enjoy Kira's carefully cut sashimi, subtle seaweed soups, and fine cuts of wagyu beef. This is an excellent choice for entertaining guests and for family dining, but there are also private booths if you're in the mood for something intimate.
Specialties at this Spanish restaurant firmly ensconced in the 17th-century Pousada de São Tiago include seafood paella, "casserole" of pigeon with rice, Iberian Parma ham, beef sirloin, garoupa (grouper), and fresh sole. Don't miss the afternoon high tea, available from 3 to 5 daily; it's served on the brick terrace shaded by hundred-year-old trees, in the air-conditioned interior with a view of the South China Sea, or at the mirror-walled Cascata Bar built inside the ancient fortress.
Look for the small cow sign marking the out-of-the-ordinary Leitaria i Son milk bar. The decor is cafeteria-style and spartan, but the bar whips up frothy glasses of fresh milk from its dairy and blends them with all manner of juices: papaya, coconut, apricot, and more. Known for: silky steamed milk; cold milk custard with red beans; long lines at peak hours.
In a tasteful setting, with whitewashed walls and dark-wood beams, one of the most popular local restaurants offers authentic Macanese dishes that are simple, straightforward, and deliciously satisfying.
