We were staying in the Sintra hotel and had spotted how popular the restaurant was, we had to try it.Large selection on the menu and not dissapointed with our choice, good tasty food and plenty of vegetarian choices for Mrs Bonio.Cocktails on offer too, Pimms was a mystery for a while............
This place is called Lai Kei and it is a local ice-cream, small and simple family restaurant. It has been here for years and years, from generation to generation. The menu still keeps both Chinese and Portuguese languages. The restaurant is super clean and their ice-creams are all home-made. As to me is the best place to eat 'true' ice-cream.I pay a great deal of attention to my health, so, when I feel like eating ice-cream I always come here and avoid all those renamed, expensive and high-loaded sugar brands. My favorite item is the three-coloured ice-cream, this is to say, from the choices you have you pick-up three flavours (three scoops). You can also ask for only one flavour, it is up to you. The ones I like best are peanut, mint, coffee and inhame. There is also strawberry, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, coconut, etc.The ice-cream here is really amazing and sweet enough to get...
A real off-the-beaten track Macanese restaurant that gets filled up fast during dinner hours. Try the stuffed chicken with flavoured rice, a serving of oxtail soup, African chicken (quite spicy), Portuguese style stir-fried clams, balcahau in mashed potatoes.
After two weeks in China we decided to use lunch in Macao to eat Portuguese food, so we asked the driver/guide to leave us at a good Portuguese restaurant. He left us here. It was curious, because we use to say that in Portugal we have 100 ways to cook "bacalhau" (codfish), and we found there... the 101st one. It was good, the wine was Portuguese, and the "Bacalhau à Bras" served to the Chinese family at our side looked very Portuguese and... tasty. Grilled Bacalhau
Buffet Specializing in Macanese and Cantonese Dishes!frascati cafe has built a reputation for serving excellent macanese and cantonese dishes in a buffett fashion and this is well earned as I have seen and eaten their sumptious dishes. Oxtail Ragout was a knockout as ox tails are my favorite! they also have portugese sardines, Bacalhau (salted cod fish), peri peri chicken, african chicken, stewed pork and assorted cantonese goodies such as congee, hargau shrimp dumplings, century eggs and a whole lot more!opens daily from 8:00 am to 10:00 pmLuch Buffett starts at 100 MOP and dinner at 150 MOP what else but the knockout portugese oxtail soup! and the stewed pork, what else! the desserts are also good, with mooncakes, pastillerias and off course macanese egg tarts!
At the Senate Square, there are lots of restaurant, But since Macau was previously ruled by Portuguese we choose to dine in a Portuguese restaurant. Also in The Venetia there various restaurant that suited to your taste.
UPDATE: Fellow VTer ajc3456 claimed that the restaurant is no longer in business (circa Aug 08)There isn't anything much in way of decor and ambience, just a 2 storey setup with white tiled walls but it certainly serves up good local fare for cheap prices. The cafe sold a bevy of dishes - rice, noodles, buns, cakes, drinks, sandwiches etc. You will be spoiled for choice. They do have an English menu - ask for it. The salt, chilli and pepper pork rice whch comes in a lunch set with soup of the day and a milk tea/coffee for only 23 patacas, comes highly recommended. The pork chop bun (10 patacas) is great too - pork fried lovely in spices and tender and sandwiched in a crispy baguette-style bun. The milk tea (6.50 patacas on its own) is great.
Coloane is such a wonderful place, and this tiny little cafe is the perfect place to stop in for some delicious European-style refreshments and soak up the atmosphere of this sleepy little village.The food is perfect, and very reasonably priced. Portuguese egg tart, of course - probably the best there is!
We ate dinner at a great little restaurant called either "Margaret's Cafe" or "Patio do Commandante Matei e Olivera." Both signs were near the restaurant, but I think the Patio de Commandante is the correct name. This little pocket of local flavor is located near the corner of Avenida de Joao IV and Avenida do Infante D. Henrique just a few blocks north of the Lisboa Hotel and Casino. The restaurant is located on a very small alley with a few large round tables outdoors. We were a little cautious at first, but this was by far the best meal of our stay in either Hong Kong or Macau. We sat outside with all of the locals and enjoyed a few beers along with beef, stir-fried veggies, rice, octopus, and other odds and ends... delicious!!!
For lunch in Macau, we ate at a small Restaurant just off Largo Senado opposite the Leal Senado building. It was a local restaurant in a three-story building specializing in fried noodles. We had these noodles along with light, crispy deep fried chunks of beef and pieces of shrimp. Though it was very unusual compared to what we were used to, it was very tasty.No matter where you go in Macau, you should find their unique blend of Portuguese, Indian, Chinese, and Malay cooking very tasty and a welcome break from the often bland food of Hong Kong.
