www.cityofdreamsmacau.com Dining at The Tasting Room is unlike anywhere else you’ve ever been. Put the elegant environs of the circular dining room with its muted palette, the thorough wine selection and the impeccable service to one side, for it is the menu that wows above all else. Dishes are constructed from the finest ingredients, the combinations of texture and flavour, not to mention their presentation, long laboured over. Most of the produce that goes into their creation hails from France, but even in the home of gastronomy, these ingredients are of the upper echelon and are always picked at their peak. On arrival in Macau they are often prepared according to traditional methods and, more often than not, expert techniques. Take the hot stones seabass, cooked gueridon style amidst a spectacular display of steam—the preparation made possible by the fact that restaurant does a maximum of 25 covers per night. If in doubt over what to order from the concise yet enticing menus, staff recommendations— for both food and wine—can’t be faulted.
