Litoral
Just up the road from A-Ma Temple, this popular family-run restaurant has served Macanese and Portuguese favorites since 1995. The menu runs the gamut from hard-to-find specialties like bafassá (pork braised with saffron or turmeric) to Macau’s unofficial national dish, minchi (wok-fried pork and potato hash topped with a fried egg). Don’t overlook Litoral’s famed African chicken, though. On weekends, expect large crowds lingering at their tables with bottles of wine, admiring the white-washed walls and timber frames, and ordering lavishly. There is another branch in Taipa, too.
