MacauSoul
This informal bar and restaurant is run by a British expatriates couple who embraced the Macanese lifestyle. David and Jacky Higgins are wine-aficionados to very heart, and the varied selection of light bites to go with MacauSoul’s range of wine reflected that personality to the fullest. The menu reflects on Macau’s influences, with Mediterranean-tinged offerings like hummus and olives, as well as various fusion food such as the char siew salad. The restaurant is very popular with the young, local crowd, with an eclectic playlist of jazz, blues, folk and even classical adding to the ambience and lively atmosphere.

Il Teatro
With a name that means “The Theater” in Italian, one would expect the meal to be a grandiose showcase fit for the kings. Il Teatro at the Wynn Macao delivers exactly that, with the chefs putting a dazzling show for the diners with the stunning views of Performance Lake adding to the spectacle. At night, the lake hosts musically choreographed displays of dramatic water, light, color and fire effects, an attraction unto its own. But truly, the main star of the show is the genuine Italian cuisine made with the freshest ingredients flown in from around the world, making Il Teatro one of the world’s top restaurants.
