Good Eating Edit: The new Palace Garden at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau presents opulent chinoiserie-inspired interiors and multifaceted Cantonese cuisine
- The opulent restaurant features a series of individually themed private rooms, including the Flower Room, Butterfly Room, Pagoda Room and Li Bai Room
- Its farm-to-table dining concept focuses on seasonally driven Taishi dishes with a Western touch, offering a wonderful fusion of Eastern and Western cuisine
Past the ornate front gate lies a lush European-style garden, where a fragrant canopy beckons guests to enter the restaurant. Along one corridor, a series of private rooms are rendered in the style of palatial residences and individually themed with rare artwork and antiques. Sip on botanical cocktails in the Flower Room; let your imagination soar in the Butterfly Room against a kaleidoscope of colours; or find tranquillity in the Pagoda Room, lined with arched shelves to mimic a tiered temple. In the Li Bai Room, a bespoke bar caters to thirsty patrons, with signature cocktails served against a moving digital landscape.
From slow-cooked soups to expertly prepared seafood, an innovative menu is informed by centuries of Cantonese cooking traditions. Surrounded by a regal ambience, guests can savour highlights such as Premium Partridge Bisque, a complex broth fragrant with mandarin peel and aged ginger; Crystal King Tiger Prawn, served with 52-month aged Iberico ham; and Beef Slow Stewed with Wild Honey and Supreme Soy Sauce, marinated in the chef’s secret recipe.
The exquisite cuisine is complemented by a 1,000-label-strong wine list and a Mao-tai Programme featuring handblown glasses and Baijiu-inspired cocktails.
