Arrived just after 2pm on a Friday and found there were a couple unoccupied tables, we were greeted happily by English speaking staff and shown to an open table. For our meal, we ordered the grilled sardines (MIP130) that tasted just fine (rating 3.25 of 5). We also ordered the African Chicken served with a side of layered gratinated potato... More

We had clam for appetizer and it was awesome...the gravy was so tasty and it's so good with the bread. Main course was baked cod fish, which was a little too watery but the taste was good. The white wine recommended by waiter was so good...the best ever! But, the serradura pudding was a little disappointing. Overall, I would consider... More

Had an excellent romantic Sunday dinner here. Having booked late we were the only ones on the balcony on a pleasantly cool evening. Lovely Spanish music crooning quietly in the background The Portugese white wine was reasonably priced and went so well with the delicious creamy mushroom starter and grilled sardines. Service was charmingly friendly - even to the extent... More

The things we got... Starters: - Garlic prawns - save your bread for mopping up the delicious butter sauce. The prawns were fresh and cooked with skill, well flavored and delicious. - Sauteed mushrooms with ham/bacon - was much too salty for me, and nothing special Main course: - African chicken - curry, coconut, soft and falling apart chicken chunks....

Located just beside the original Lord Stow's Egg Tart Bakery in Coloane, the Espaco Lisboa offers a worthwhile alternative to the usual Macau tourist traps for traditional home-style Portuguese food. Set in a converted 2 story house with perfect white table cloths and a cute little balcony for a romantic tete-a-tete, the food here is definitely worth the short taxi... More

Great food and nice service. After looking for a place where to enjoy a portuguese lunch in Macau, we found this great place, the food was brilliant and the service too. I was surprised on the quality of the meat and fish. Great place!!!

I am sorry to report that based on the TA reviews, we booked this retaurant for our second of 2 dinners in Macau, and we were vry disappointed. The taxi ride from Macau is long and harrowing. The taxi drivers are not thrilled to drive people down to this location an the construction enroute is huge. Perhaps if you are... More

I have been living in Hong Kong for many years and wonder why it took me so long to find the perfect place with European feel. Well, I have now found it: Espaco Lisboa. Set in the quaint little village of Coloane far away from the buzz of the Casinos and city centre, this small restaurant with a familial, home... More

I come here every time I'm in Macau for Portuguese food. I prefer this place to A Lorcha. Also located right next to Lord Stow's so you can enjoy the famous egg tarts post meal.

My husband and I wanted to try something a little more cultural for dinner as opposed to the restaurants in the big hotels and casinos. This quaint little restaurant tucked behind Lord Stows bakery offers traditional Mecanese/Portugese cuisine. It's no flashy 3 michelin stars but it was tasty food, obviously cooked with love served with excellent service and a happy... More
