Victor Pun

Joining W Macau – Studio City as part of its opening team in 2023, Victor Pun has established himself with a style that feels both rooted and forward-looking. A Macau native, he draws on familiar Asian ingredients and references, but handles them with a lightness that keeps the results from ever feeling literal.

There is a narrative instinct to his work. Drinks are not assembled so much as composed, with an eye on how flavours unfold and what they evoke. What emerges is a bartender with a clear sense of direction. The technique is there, but more importantly, so is the judgement of when to push an idea and when to leave it alone. It gives the work a certain authority, the sense of someone already shaping his own space, and doing so with increasing conviction.
