THE EIGHT
One of the most reputable Cantonese establishments in Macau, The
Eight’s charm lies not only in its excellent dim sum, but in its intriguing interiors, revealed to guests through a dim tunnel at the entrance. The room encapsulates pure luxury as guests are led past the iconic crystal installation at the centre of the windowless space, passing curved banquettes and evenly-spaced tables. The Eight’s Cantonese fare extends beyond traditions to include more contemporary elements, from high-end ingredients to innovative presentations, adding youthful energy to classics without losing any of the character that made the dishes iconic in the first place. Chinese barbecue items such as charsiu (barbecued pork) and suckling pig are the restaurant’s signatures, while a wide range of seafood offerings are well executed and popular among guests. The service team is friendly and mostly acknowledgeable on the restaurant’s offerings, and often keen to help with explanations on dishes.
