Favourite Macau restaurants of Sammy Chan, chief concierge of Grand Hyatt
One of Macau's top concierges shares his favourite three spots for local dining
Sammy Chan is the chief concierge of Grand Hyatt Macau and vice-president of the concierge network Les Clefs d’Or Macau. He has worked in the hospitality industry in Hong Kong and Macau for more than a decade, and his extensive knowledge of the area ensures that he always has a recommendation for great places to eat in Macau’s diverse and ever-growing dining scene.
1. I love to visit this cosy café near the Ruins of St. Paul’s cathedral which offers some of Macau’s most iconic food, namely the pork-chop bun and the thick toast with egg omelet - they are definitely worth trying. And of course, don’t miss out on its unique coffee or milk tea, brewed in a clay pot over a charcoal fire.

2. Elsewhere in Macau, I like San Iek Mei Sek. My favourite dishes there are the pig bone hot pot and the mixed pork chop. Every once in a while, the owner will enrich the menu with creativity and innovation, plus there’s friendly service and warm hospitality. I think these are reasons why this is a preferred restaurant when compared with other local eateries.
