This Parisian-style brasserie in the MGM Macau delivers refined renditions of classic dishes, from beef bourguignon to lobster bisque, in a setting that recalls old-world France. Imagine mahogany walls, rattan chairs, and cast-iron coat racks. The wine list runs a whole 85 pages and consistently ranks among Macau’s best.
This timeless dim sum restaurant near the Red Market is a living museum: hard-backed booths, slow-whirring fans, pastel green frames, and wooden bird cages by windows that are almost always open—there’s no air-conditioning—keep the look and feel of Macau’s traditional teahouses alive. Order yum cha (dim sum) classics like siu mai (dumplings), steamed meatballs, barbecued pork buns, and pork ribs; pair it with a pot of pu’er tea; and recall the fading glory of mid-20th-century Macau.
As you walk into Wing Lei, you’re greeted by a dragon sculpted from a single piece of glass and 90,000 Swarovski crystals, dangling delicately above a yellow-and-coral room inspired by Van Gogh. The Michelin-starred restaurant lives up to this lavish look with signature dishes like steamed grouper with aged tangerine peel and succulent barbecued Ibérico pork. While the dinner degustation is not cheap, the lunch specials and dim sum sets, often priced at less than MOP$300, offer great value.
