I was looking for a Portuguese restaurant and was fortunate to have a simple but very tasty meal with great service at Porto Exterior.

We were in Macau for a one-night visit so we hardly saw anything much, but enough to persuade us to return soon. We had a good lunch time meal in the restaurant 'Latina' (or some such name), and then walked up to the old fortress housing the museum of Macau. Well worth the walk - don't be lazy and take the escalator! We then spent time searching for furniture in the Rua de Sao Paulo - really good range of antiques to see.
Evening meal in Carlos's restaurant (NAPE) was also good. Next morning was so cold and wet we only ventured as far as the Grand Premio museum, which at $10 was good value. I hope they plan to make it more interactive in the future, since it is rather full of static exhibits. The simulators were out of order. Macau is a fascinating place, still human in scale, so it makes for a welcome change of atmosphere to Hong Kong which has abandoned all its yesterdays as if there are no tomorrows.

We were in Macau for the Macau Marathon so did not have as much time as we would have liked. Next time though! We were able to walk to the GrandPrix/Wine Museum, Monte Fort, the Ruins of St. Paul's, Largo do Senado, the Museum of Macau (excellent - well-designed and informative) and follow a walking tour down to the Maritime Museum. The Hotel Lisboa was also a great spot to visit and soak up the culture of Macau.
Several of our meals were eaten in small local restaurants - all were good, inexpensive and the staff very friendly and polite.
Macau is a spot I would really enjoy returning to. The mixture of Chinese and Portuguese architecture, the cuisine and its past history, gives Macau a special flare and feel.

Very nice city, worth of seeing. Hopefully the weather will be better, since for us it was raining most of the time.
IŽd like to propose all to visit Pizaria Toscana, one of the best restaurants I have ever been.

Stayed at Ritz Macau, Hotel - Macau, Macau.

Enjoyed the new art gallery in the Cultural Centre and the excellent Maritime Museum. Good Portuguese food at the old standby A'Lorcha (opposite the Maritime Museum). Macau is so small it doesn't make sense to take any other form of transport other than taxis unless on a really tight budget. Taxi drivers friendly and helpful although Cantonese is necessary to communicate with them.

Stayed at Westin Resort Macau - Macau, Macau.
|
We thoroughly enjoyed the Chinese restaurant in the hotel. It was terrific, both quality of and service. Absolute recommended. Shuttle was practical but not entirely in arriving because the arrival and disembarking of ferry was every time 5 minutes after leaving of shuttle so had to wait 20 minutes or take a cab, which we did.

Stayed at Ritz Macau, Hotel - Macau, Macau.

Macua was very interesting, particlularly the old architecture around the museum in the fort and old church but felt a little unsafe around the temple (Maritime Museum area) by the hotel at night. We decided it would be safer to eat at the hotel after walking around for a while (the food in the hotel was excellent and good value for money).
