Chiado: Innovative dining and a spirit of authenticity

  • Must-tries are the calçada de bacalhau or traditional salted cod, and the 24-hour slow-cooked suckling pork

Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa, of two-Michelin-starred Alma, has made his mark on the restaurant scene in Macau with his unique dining concept. Nestled in the Sands Cotai Central shopping complex, Chiado offers a balance between innovative dining and the spirit of authenticity.

For example, the calçada de bacalhau is a traditional salted cod dish in Portugal but Chiado’s version has a rich and silky texture with a pudding-like quality. Another must-try is the 24-hour slow-cooked suckling pork. The meat is cooked sous-vide for a day at 68 degrees Celsius. The tender pork is then roasted to give it a crispy skin that crackles like the crust of a freshly baked baguette.
