4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2012

My husband and I wanted to try something a little more cultural for dinner as opposed to the restaurants in the big hotels and casinos. This quaint little restaurant tucked behind Lord Stows bakery offers traditional Mecanese/Portugese cuisine. It's no flashy 3 michelin stars but it was tasty food, obviously cooked with love served with excellent service and a happy... More

I only had time to have three meals while in Macau, and this is the first place I went. The food quality seemed to have gone down a little. The seafood rice was disappointing, I remembered it was better a year ago. Nice ambience in an isolated little street. The is a balcony upstairs with a handful of tables. May... More

Already 5 years we visit this restaurant and it still has the same high quality. The service is very good and it has a familiar ambiance with a very friendly owner. Also the food is genuine Portuguese with good value for money. Next time we visit Macau we are sure to come to this restaurant. More

I've been coming here regularly for 10 years now, whenever we're in town for the Macau Grand Prix and I love the ambience as well as the food. Let's get this on the table straight away. This is not a flashy, glitzy restaurant with smooth faceless service. This is more like eating in someone's home, from the food to the... More

This restaurant is a bit hard to find but it's quite close to the Lord Stow's bakery. We enjoyed the olives and the meat appetizer. The seafood rice is a bit pricy but it was worth the splurge. Also, enjoyed Sangria with our meal. This was my first Portuguese food experience and I enjoyed our lunch. More

We did not feel this was anything special and was something of a letdown. Definitely not worth a trip from mainland Macau. We could not eat the sauteed vegetables they prepared because they were so salty. Main courses were of a home cooking standard. We got a table on the balcony and wondered why this spot was recommended. It was... More

This restaurant is on my "must visit" list for Macau and has been for some time. Serving no nonsense food accompanied by some excellent wines, what more could you ask for. There are very few tables in the restaurant so be sure to book well in advance. More

If you wish to get away from the glitz and the casinos, this is the place to be. Tucked away in a little street in Coloane, it's a wonderful restaurant for a quiet leisurely lunch before visiting the very rustic surroundings where you can still find the old Macau. This is in fact the restaurant where the chef and boss... More

You know it's hardly to find quite place in the Macau where are full of casinos and hotels. We traveled 30 mins from Macau to the Coloane Island to get to this restaurant. The Chinese name is 里斯本地帶餐廳. It locates at a quite corner which may not be easy to spot. I booked in advance and we were directed to... More

Ask for a table on the balcony if you are a couple - it's like a special, separate restaurant. Everything was excellent. Service was actually excellent, except that I dropped it to three stars because towards the end of the evening, the waiters just disapeared. As we left I saw there was a large party happening downstairs, which is probably... More
