Renown among epicureans chiefly for its amazing cuisine and gorgeous interiors – The 8 Restaurant, a 3-Michelin-starred restaurant in Macau is located near to neighbour, Robuchon au Dôme also with 3 Michelin stars thus expectations are certainly high. The restaurant spares no effort to seek out the best ingredients focusing on taste to satisfy all diners who walk through their doors. The result is an exacting purity of flavours in many dishes, which are enhanced by a variety of cooking techniques to produce the desired effect on the end product, from brininess to smokiness while keeping true to its Chinese roots and traditions.

Guests will thoroughly enjoyed the warm and voluptuous Braised Abalone enveloped with a delicious glaze, simply plated to keep the limelight on the produce. The premium shellfish is rich in flavour, tender in texture and delightfully soft to bite. Best eaten with some tea from the extensive section found on the memu such as Pu-er, Longjing, Oolong and many more. Each with their own distinct characteristic that not only matches the courses on the menu but is packed with many health benefits as well.

Chicken Broth With Fish Delicate And Bean Curd In Chrysanthemum Shape certainly impressed many with its unique combination of flavours from the various ingredients such as top quality chicken in making of the broth and the extremely soft fish ball almost like mush-mellow tenderness without a hint of fishiness. The tofu is hand cut 105 times on top and another 105 times below with utmost precision, a skill very few chefs in the world have creating a shape that looks like a full bloomed Chrysanthemum flower. This soup is complete with mouthwatering Japanese shiitake mushrooms.  A delicacy in The 8 Restaurant.

Striking all the right chords is Braised Garoupa Fillet With Crispy Black Bean And Garlic. The beautifully braised fish is complemented by crispy black beans that has a pungent salty note delicately balanced with the aromatic garlic. To enjoy your meal with family, friends and even business associates, choose from dining at the 165 seats main hall with it’s stunning interiors of red and maroon hues, water fixtures and decadent artworks or for a more exclusive environment in the private dining room that sits up to 24 persons subjected to a minimum spending.

A delicious course to win you over is Crispy Beef With Homemade Cream Sauce. The star without a doubt is the beef which is deep fried in choice batter till golden crispy on the outside, yet tantalizingly tender on the inside. Inspiring cream sauce is enhanced with a bit of Chinese wine and 10 years old tangerine peel and a touch of lemon for added acidity and aromatics. A delicious well rounded dish that uses ultra rare tangerine peels, usually in market varieties range between 3 to 4 years and from 5 years or older is surely hard to find.

Desserts are enjoyable and accomplished, with the Hong Kong styled milk tea and Macau egg tart bringing fort sweet memories. The home favourite comes with a choice of vanilla, chocolate or cinnamon powder – again, classic items given some polish. The waitstaff are courteous and helpful making one’s dining experience a lovely and memorable one, no matter the occasion.
