Macau is famous for excellent restaurants, unique cuisine and mellow bars. It is a premier dining and drinking destination in Asia. The Portuguese brought not only European cuisine, but also influences from their other colonies (Brazil, Goa and Angola) to Macau. As a result the city now offers one of the world's most intriguing gastronomic adventures. Look for local specialties such as bacalhau (salted cod) and African chicken. Portuguese cuisine is available at a number of restaurants, and for a snack, try the milk pudding at the cafes in Largo do Senado street stalls. They sell tasty strips of barbecued pork as well. Below are the list of some restaurants of your choice.
Fernando's, Hac Sa Wan, Coloane. 882531. Delicious food in a homey atmosphere. For two people, the Salad (comes with freshly baked bread), the Prawns and the Chicken (served on a bed of chips) should be sufficient.
Clube Militar, originally a club for Portuguese military officers, this is now a classy restaurant.
Noodle and Congee, Corner is upstairs in the new Lisboa Casino. It's more like a restaurant than a "corner" and they prepare various style noodles while you (can) watch. Excellent quality and quite reasonable for such a special treat.
