'Foodies beware for your taste-buds are in for one heck of a fare!' Macau's restaurant scene is just as enticing as its casinos and serves a world of glamorous cuisines to tantalize nearly any palat.
The Robuchon au Dôme is an exclusive luxury restaurant that is located in the spectacular Grand Lisboa casino. Dominating Macau's skyline with its lotus inspired design, the structure of the restaurant is just as spectacular as the casino it is located in. Being the latest venture of star French chef Joël Robuchon, the restaurant maintains its reputation for innovative and cultural excellence. Caviar with anise cream, fregola with shaved Parmesan, and braised Iberico pork cheek with aubergine fondant are some of the restaurants most tantalizing highlights.
If Italian in its finest forms is what you are craving for, nothing quite beats the Portofino located at the Venetian Macao. Although only recently established, Portafino quite quickly earned the reputation as the best Italian restaurant in the city. With stringent attention to detail Portofino transforms Italian dishes into luxurious delicacies that pampers your taste-buds as if they were royalty. Pestcatore, 'Ligurian Style" mussels, clams, prawn and calamari in spicy tomato sauce, all have a completely new appeal when tried out at the Portofino.
A masterpiece of Chef Guillaume Galliot, the tasting room is a food lab that has some of the most wild and incredible creations. The restaurant has a revolving menu which requires something new every day to keep the set up smoothly flowing. Although the restaurant is predominantly French, Chef Galleot makes use of culinary traditions from around the world to produce a unique product that although is predominantly French, has a touch from several other regions across the globe. This mosaic of all things wonderful is definitely an experience well worth relishing.
For all those Cantonese food lovers out there, the Tims kitchen awaits, offering some of the best Cantonese treats in the city. The food available in this restaurant is typically bold and flavoursome, and specifically emphasizes on the freshest of ingredients. Although portions are small, each element of flavor can be vibrantly experienced giving a refined feel for diners at the Tims kitchen. Particular favorites at this restaurant includes the crystal king prawn, sautéed pork stomach with pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots and braised whole fresh crab claw with winter melon.
Of all the restaurants located in Macau, nothing quite beats the experience of dining at the Galaxy Macau Hotel Resort. Home to a range of restaurants from Asian, to Western to Cantonese to Chinese Macau dining at the Galaxy Macau is the epitome of fine dining. Amidst the plethora of choices available at this resort, the Lugang Café offers the best of Taiwanese cuisines.
