António
It’s hard not to fall in love with António. The cosy mahogany-framed dining room, the meticulously thought-out menu, and the entertaining and celebrated chef António Coelho all make this the place to go for all of your traditional Portuguese favourites. If you can only try one Portuguese restaurant in Macau, make it this one. You shouldn’t miss the gratinated goat cheese with olive oil and honey, and the flaming Portuguese sausage.

Miramar
Miramar is one of the best kept secrets among the Portuguese community in Macau. Just next to the Westin, this seaside restaurant serves magnificent Portuguese food with a Mozambique flavour. Try the curry with shrimp and wash it down with vinho verde. It has indoor and outdoor dining areas, and is equipped with shower facilities for beachgoers. The restaurant is really out of the way. Call for a free pick-up service from anywhere in Taipa.

Clube Militar de Macau
Housed in Macau’s most distinguished colonial building, with ceiling fans spinning lazily above, the Military Club is for those who romanticise about days gone by. The food here is much better than it used to be and the place has some excellent Portuguese wines. Be sure to dress smartly.

Bon Apetite
Grab a seat near the window for a view of the Kum Iam Statue and some home-style Macanese fare. The regularly changing menu features such palette-tempting delights as carne de porco à alentejana (fried pork meat with clams) and pasteis e bacalhau (codfish cakes).

Carlos
Forget the menu, just ask Senhor Carlos what he'd like to cook today - you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, try the Macanese minchi (spicy mince with rice and egg on top) or any of the delicious Portuguese dishes.

A Lorcha
‘The Sailboat’ is arguably the best casual Portuguese eatery on the peninsula. Try the pork-ear salad and deep-fried bacalhau. It’s also listed in every guidebook, so you get lots of tourists.

You might go inside this restaurant just for a cup of coffee and no one could blame you, as its romantic ambience is unbeatable. Not to be missed is its afternoon tea set (MOParound MOP$110), served from 15:00 to 18:00.

Platão
This restaurant is renowned for its chef, who once worked for the governors of Macau. Dishes worth trying include the baked duck rice and the rack of lamb with mustard. The giant serradura (MOP$52) is a must.
