Diners delight

Macau’s eating out scene continues to improve. There are fine dining restaurants, informal bistros, intimate cafes and - for a slice of Macanese life - bustling street markets, where the locals say some of the best food is to be enjoyed.

Here is an overview of some of the newer eateries that are taking the former Portuguese enclave by storm.

The Broadway Macau is home to Macau’s first indoor hawker-style street market, offering an authentic ambience and taste of a traditional Macanese street market, but with a cleaner environment and the comfort of air conditioning.

The bustling venue has more than 40 food stalls serving the street foods of Macau and other parts of Asia. A few of the stalls are operated by Michelin starred restaurants. You can literally eat your way around Asia without leaving Macau.

However, you shouldn't miss some traditional Macanese style street dishes such as bean curd soup noodles, boiled beef brisket, fish soup rice noodles, deep fried crispy crab cakes and sea crab congee.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, don’t miss the almond and walnut soup with coconut juice. There are also festive street performances and shops selling Macanese souvenirs.
