Macau's medley of Portuguese and Cantonese cuisine—spicy and creamy Macanese interpretations of traditional Cantonese dishes such as baked prawns, braised abalone, and seafood stews—has made it one of Asia's top fine-dining destinations for decades.
Now, thanks to the spate of new casino-hotels, Macau has also become an exciting world-class culinary frontier. But local dining isn't all highbrow. Near the Largo do Senado and in the villages of Taipa and Coloane, wander the back alleys to find treats like zhu-bao-bao (a slab of fried pork on a toasted bun served with milk tea) or the signature pasteis de nata (custard tart): they’re simple, delicious, and classic Macau.
Long-renowned restaurants such as Restaurante Fernando and Litoral are staying the course. So, too, are Cantonese eateries such as Fat Siu Lau, particularly well known among Hong Kong residents who travel to Macau just for dim sum, weekend brunches, and seafood feasts at more affordable prices and made from higher-quality ingredients.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Designed by Hong Kong's Alan Chan, The Eight is an opulent-looking restaurant where the food is as impressive as the decor—it was awarded three Michelin stars in 2014. The chefs here prepare fine Cantonese and Huaiyang cuisine; signature dishes include braised abalone with Chinese herbs, steamed Japanese bean curd with dried seafood, and steamed fish-shaped shrimp dumplings. The wine cellar contains more than 14,100 different labels; teetotalers can enjoy teas from an extensive menu that includes a pu er that has been aged for 49 years. Lunchtime diners can choose from a menu that boasts over 50 types of dim sum.
A Michelin star–spangled Chinese restaurant inside the Wynn Macau, Wing Lei dazzles with rich mustard decor and an enormous Swarovski-crystal dragon sculpture flying overhead. The chef mixes up the menu with each changing season and reservations are recommended.
