IFT Educational Restaurant

The Educational Restaurant at the Institute for Tourism Studies, Macao is a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand rated restaurant and awarded "2016 Certificate of Excellence Award" by TripAdvisor.

Reviewed By Mark D - Penang Island, Malaysia

This small, reasonably priced restaurant is located inside the IFT University-- and is open to the public!! The restaurant also is operated to train students in the "culinary arts" as well as food preparation and serving the public.
It offers Portuguese specialities, various European dishes and also provides "gluten free" foods!! The choices are very well prepared... and the prices are surprisingly low/modest!
You will definitely enjoy visiting this restaurant and tasting the wonderful dishes, and helping in the training of "next generation" chefs and restaurant workers!!

Robuchon au Dome

Reviewed By DT8888 - Singapore

We had a 7 course / 3.5 hour lunch and the 3 Star Michelin accolade is truly deserved. From the stunning bread trolley over the 7 course plated menu to the desert, cheese, ice cream and petit-fours trolley, it’s indulgence at the highest level. An unforgettable experience and I let the pictures tell the story.

Vida Rica at Mandarin Oriental, Macau

Vida Rica features a spectacular glass wall giving expansive views over the South China Sea and Nam Van Lake. The interior is chic and exotic; this imposing open space is cleverly designed to offer intimate Seating arrangements. Our talented chef seeks out the rarest ingredients to create delicate yet exciting touches to classic dishes, infusing them with originality and character. The result is the inimitable interpretation of Chinese and French cuisine with a modern twist.

MacauSoul

Opened by the owners/operators, David and Jacky, as a retirement hobby, MacauSoul is an elegant and relaxing wine lounge offering the best Portuguese wines and ports that we can obtain and things to eat that go well with wine (wonderful British farmhouse cheeses, the best pata negra, scrumptious pates, spicy homemade hummus, the now-famous MacauSoul special salad, and so on). As Seating is limited (and MacauSoul will be closed if David and Jacky are out of town), calling before you come is strongly recommended.

Reviewed By Joanna P - London, United Kingdom

On a fleeting afternoon visit to old Macau, my son and I were delighted to find conveniently located Macau Soul. Elegant, comfortable and great place to relax and taste a wide range of Portuguese wine and, rather unusually British cheeses. Lovely spicy tapas, olives and nibbles. David and Jacky looked after us so well, even bundling us into a taxi to just catch the Turbojet back to HK.

Delicious No. 4 live fin de claire oysters from France, melted raclette on an assortment of cold cuts, freshly cooked lobsters, and fine Ritz Carlton champagne were among the highlights of a well curated buffet selection.
While variety was not as extensive as other champagne brunches we’ve tried, every dish we tried was delicious!
The icing on this outstanding dining experience came from the warm personalized service from from every member of the Ritz Carlton Macau team we interacted with elevated our experience.
Special shout outs go to Jenny at the lobby reception who chatted us up while waiting for our taxi to MJ and the Ritz Carlton Cafe team who ensured that our champagne flutes were kept full throughout brunch service.
Would definitely come back for the entire experience next time.

Mariazinha

Mariazinha is a genuine Portuguese Cuisine Restaurant. It is a family business located in the heart of Macau. You will enjoy the most traditional tastes of Portugal after visiting the most popular Macau sight, the St. Paul's Ruins.

Reviewed By Sydneyacademic - Sydney, Australia

This place is close to the ruins of St Paul and in a quiet side street. Reasonable food for a good price. My husband's chicken was good but my pork ribs were a bit on the dry side. It was of average quality overall but probably more highly rated in Macau.
