Portuguese

Located in the small alley to the north of the giant orange exhibition hall in The Village at Sanlitun’s, Macau Taste is a tastefully decorated, modestly-sized restaurant bedecked with the characteristically yellow-themed hues of Portugal. The menu offers starters including Portuguese shrimp salad and Portuguese sausage salad, and meat dishes including steamed garlic spareribs and Macau pork chops. Other items include Macau-style “beef bread,” Macau-style sandwiches and Portuguese-style blanched vegetables.

The predominantly blue hues of this restaurant is a visual reminder of its seafaring namesake. The food (including Grilled bacalhau and the commendable cataplana de mariscos) is true to the earthy, rich flavors of Portugal – rich in olive oil and made from fresh ingredients, with an upscale touch. Nice selection of Portuguese wines. Now serving three-course business set lunches (includes coffee or tea) for RMB 108, plus 15% service charge.
