Splurge
Pearl of the Orient
Belon is the Banyan Tree Macau’s signature restaurant, named after Brittany’s famous oysters. Cuisine is innovative and contemporary,with grilled and premium seafood including fresh oysters (of course), seafood platters and more. Some dishes are made tableside for that extra wow factor. Take your squeeze and share steamed sea bass or Australian wagyu côte de boeuf before retiring for the night.

Mais Oui
MGM’s Aux Beaux Arts seeks to recreate the charm and romance of a cozy French brasserie in Paris, where diners linger over classics such as escargot and moules mariniéres, while sipping a glass of wine as the world passes by. Fresh, organic produce, perfect execution and service come together to produce some of the most authentic French gastronomy around.

The Spice is Right
The Golden Peacock picked up a one-star rating in the Michelin Guide in 2014 and 2015, thanks to its traditional, authentic Indian cuisine. Nearly everything is prepared from scratch in-house–from yogurt, paneer cheese and ice cream to masalas, sauces, pickles and chutneys.

Signature dishes include caviar jelly with cauliflower cream or pan-seared Kagoshima beef with green asparagus stuffed with black truffles. All that luxury will cost you: set dinner menus start at $1,588 per person.
