They have quite a selections of macau dish and unique interior to blend with the environment. It was well situated and very near from the... More

Everyone has a favourite place when they visit Macau. This is mine. It has both inside and outdoor seating and just one of the best African Chickens i've ever tasted. The sauce has the just the right kind of spice and goes great with a heaping bowl of rice. I usually end up ordering two. The outside seating is great... More

One of my favorite restaurants in Macau, the Portuguese food is excellent as is the service and the seating outside makes for a wonderful meal.

We ordered oxtail and african chicken. I loved the oxtail and my friend loved the african chicken. They serve rice and bread with them. The rice quantity was small.

It was not as amazing as its reputation. The location was great, calm and nice atmosphere but service is not consistent and helpful sometimes, price rate is very high and not acceptable for such low quality of food. It was expected as a fine dining restaurant as we are paying for this high but the fact is "average". It is... More

I follow trip advisor by choosing this restaurant but I can say without any hesitation that I will not recommend it. The service is not that great, which would be ok if the food was decent, but it is not. It is not even like typical portuguese food, just regular cafeteria food. And when the bill comes, you are surprised... More

After walking past the previous day, we decided to have lunch here because it seemed like an oasis of calm - a nice alternative from the area surrounding Senado Square. The outdoor seating area was cool and quiet. The service was efficient and friendly. Sadly the food was very average and the coffee was as bad as at Starbucks -... More

We enjoyed a very tasty family lunch at leisure in the courtyard. The sangria was ideal for the warm day and the starters/entrees and mains were tasty and served with very large portions. All three of us enjoyed our dishes and said we'd be happy to return. The Filipino staff were very helpful and friendly, with quick service, a smile... More

I read a lot of good reviews about Platao and thought I should try it. Personally, I feel it is overrated. You can find many places in Macau that serve similar food that taste a lot better and at half the price. The location and atmosphere has a romantic feel as it is in a beautiful part of Macau, very...

Went there for evening dinner and was quite disappointed by the menu choice, despite it being a Portuguese restaurant, they didn't have some of the basics. Atmosphere was good but we left after 5 minutes due to lack of proper Portuguese food (mostly fusion).
