For food lovers

Macao’s food scene has come on apace and is one of the main reasons for a visit. Local tea house Long Wah Tea House guarantees refreshing tea and traditional dim sum if you can get there early enough, while Cafe Nam Ping puts together a mean egg sandwich complete with fluffy omelettes and chunky slices of ham.

For street food favourites, don’t miss out Taipa Village’s famed Pork Chop Bun at Cafe Tai Lei Lok Kei. Then go for some sweet Serradura (sawdust pudding) at Mok Yi Kei and almond cakes at Koi Kee Bakery – the traditional Macanese snack producer that started its selling from a street cart. If you can clamber your way out of this foodie haven, head to Lord Stow’s for one of the flakiest Portuguese egg tarts on the island.

For those who like a Michelin star with their dinner, Pearl Dragon serves innovative Cantonese dishes, while Guincho a Galera offers Portuguese cuisine as the first overseas branch of Portugal’s own Fortaleza do Guincho.

Restaurante Litoral serves some of the best Macanese cuisine around – their African chicken dish is worth a booking alone. Just make sure you book early.
