Macau is a popular spot for staycations, but the frequency
of ferries makes it a great alternative for day trips and
date nights. Our new guide to Macau dining is just the
inspiration you need to hop on the Cotai Jet and explore
some of the city’s best restaurants. This month, we look
at summer specials on offer in local hotels.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Home to a number of cafes and restaurants, the Grand Lapa has an
excellent Staycation package, or you can take advantage of its Family
Splash Summer Day Pass. Café Bela Vista offers a Summer Kids’ Afternoon
Tea Set for children under 12, which includes a selection of kids’ favourites
like sandwiches, French fries, mini beef burgers, cupcakes, mini chocolate
cookies, and vanilla and mango pannacotta. NAAM Thai Restaurant has also
launched a new Kids’ Menu that will take care of your young ones’ taste buds,
while the grownups can tuck into the restaurant’s signature Royal Thai cuisine.
And at Kam Lai Heen, two new dim sum offers will be launched every month,
all prepared using fresh seasonal ingredients.
PUTTIN’ ON THE RITZ
The brand new Ritz Carlton has just opened
as part of the Galaxy complex, and as you
would expect, stunning dining experiences
will be a hallmark of the hotel. You’ll find
classic Cantonese fine dining at Lai Heen;
sophisticated high teas or cocktails at the
classic The Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge;
casual dining at The Ritz-Carlton Café;
and organic fare and seafood at The Ritz-
Carlton Pool Bar.
TIME FOR BRUNCH
Here’s a great way to spend an indulgent
Sunday: Brunch by Belon at the Banyan
Tree Macau. Come along between 11.30am
and 3pm and you’ll find an expansive range
of fresh seafood and gourmet delights,
prepared live by the restaurant’s award-
winning team. The brunch is priced at MOP
798 for adults, including free-flow wine and
champagne, and MOP 238 for children; a
20 percent discounts applies for groups of
eight or more, so round up your family and
friends for the trip!

AT MEZZA9
The new mezza9 at the Grand Hyatt Macau
is now offering Thai cuisine by internationally
famed Thai chef Siriluck Lekkwan, known
affectionately as Chef Mum. Her signature
dishes include Thai Royal chicken dumplings,
deep-fried sea bass with chilli tamarind sauce,
and fresh mango sticky rice with homemade
Thai tea ice cream. Chef Mum specialises in
both Asian and Western dishes using local
and seasonal ingredients, and the layout of the
venue means that you can watch her and her
team in action.
