Imperial Court

Chinese   |   $ $ $ $   |   Macau, Macau

A regal dining room that transports guests to the Lingnan era, and where Cantonese cuisine honours tradition while embracing contemporary flair

 

Nestled within a lobby designed to resemble a garden, complete with colossal emerald walls and a gold-leaf ceiling that mimics golden sunlight, Imperial Court greets guests with a feast for the eyes. At the heart of the room stands a magnificent marble column adorned with a meticulously carved dragon, a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture . This regal backdrop is elevated by exquisite Liuli glass tableware, the traditional coloured glass once reserved for ancient Chinese royal families, casting vibrant hues across elegantly set tables. At the helm is chef Homan Tsui, who crafts seasonal dishes with finesse, from crispy fried chicken skin with shrimp mousse and salted fish flakes, to meticulously crafted dim sum like the baked barbecue pork buns filled with Berkshire pork, and more. The wine list, boasting over 2,000 labels, offers ample exploration for novice and connoisseur alike.
