A stunning Zaha Hadid-designed sanctuary where the 24 solar terms shape executive chef Huang Zanqi's modern Chinese menu

Located at Morpheus’ 21st-floor sky bridge, the late Dame Zaha Hadid’s final restaurant design frames a modern interpretation of Chinese cuisine, where executive chef Huang Zanqi translates the 24 solar terms into dishes that evolve monthly, guided by the principle of eating what the season brings. Local Macau ingredients appear alongside high-quality sustainable seafood sourced from around the world. The kitchen's approach is innovative without being iconoclastic. Traditional flavours provide the foundation; modern techniques build upon them without obscuring their origins. Wood-fired pottery adds another layer, the ancient cooking method lending subtle smokiness to dishes that might otherwise feel too refined. The teaware extends this philosophy. Each piece incorporates zodiac totems, the symbols conveying auspicious blessings. A collection of fine wines and spirits offers further exploration for those who seek it.
