Restaurant recommendations for your next corporate dinner

ROBUCHON A GALERA, HOTEL LISBOA
Tel +853 2888 3888; www.hotelisboa.com
Many new faces have entered the Macau dining scene since this French star opened in 2001, but few can match the skillful artistry of chef de cuisine Francky Semblat.

Masterful presentation and prized ingredients such as Kagoshima beef are sure to please. The famous trolleys offered at different stages are laden with bread, dessert, cheese or confectionery. For lunch, the set menu (US$45) is widely considered the best value in town. In the evenings, a pianist provides entertainment. There are two private dining rooms, each seating 15 people.


Il TEATRO, WYNN MACAU
Tel +853 8986 3663; www.wynnmacau.com
This theatre-inspired restaurant serves a wide variety of Italian dishes in a modern setting for up to 158 guests. Classic dishes such as Puttanesca pasta and Pizza Bianchi are delicious, and made from high-quality ingredients.

Executive chef Anthony Alaimo is experienced in catering for groups, having transferred from Wynn’s Las Vegas property, and will work with clients to prepare special dishes and menus. Dining options include tables with a view of the live kitchen, or groups can arrange a long table in the sunken area below. From here, guests will enjoy floor-to-ceiling views over Wynn’s Performance Lake.


KIRA, CROWN MACAU
Tel +853 2886 8868; www.crown-macau.com
The Japanese-influenced interior of Crown Macau leads perfectly to Kira, a light and contemporary restaurant serving exceptional Japanese by chef de cuisine Hiroshi Kagata. Seafood is flown in each morning from the famous Tsukiji market in Tokyo, a pleasure that must be experienced to be believed.

The open dining area seats up to 50 guests and includes two teppanyaki counters. A glass cyclinder in the room’s centre can display seafood or can even house a DJ. The connecting rooftop terrace, which looks across the Pearl River to Central Macau, fits up to 100 guests. Its Yi Pavilion offers an impressive dining experience for 14 people or can serve as a cocktail area for up to 30.


AUX BEAUTX ARTS, MGM GRAND MACAU
Tel +853 8802 3888; www.mgmgrandmacau.com
Aux Beaux Arts is devoid of the stuffiness and prices found in other restaurants of its class. A large courtyard patio can fit up to 60 guests and the intimate indoor area also seats 60.

The menu is heavy on rich and full-bodied ingredients. The tasting menu for US$175 per person, includes Filet de boeuf Rossini, served with foie gras and crushed potatoes. Wine lovers will be wowed by the extensive wine list. Moet Hennessy recently entertained here.
