Reviewed By Ricardo B

It is the third time I come to Macau. I usually go to the same places because I don't like to have surprises. This time around one of usual places was disappointing and thus we decided to visit A Mariazinha. Overall it was a great experience. The steak was really good and the presentation was nice. The wine list offers many choices but we went with the Port. The Bolinhos de Bacalhau were tasty. The desert was awesome! Super Bock was available so I was a happy man! The waitresses were Filipino but they understood the Portuguese names on the menu. The service was very pleasant. The owner seemed reserved but pleasant. He did not speak to us during our stay but greeted us when we left. I do believe the prices were a bit steep but other than that we had a great experience. If we are ever in Macau again we will probably return to this restaurant.

IFT Educational Restaurant

The Educational Restaurant at the Institute for Tourism Studies, Macao is a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand rated restaurant and awarded "2017 Certificate of Excellence Award" by TripAdvisor.

Reviewed By HK_Observer

Went to Macau for a special birthday dinner, and we all loved the IFT Educational Restaurant. It was midweek, so not full. Even when all tables are full, the restaurant is quite spacious and nicely fitted out -- you don't have the crammed-together feeling that so many places in HK generate. We were warmly greeted on arrival and shown to our table. The staff at this restaurant are really committed to giving their patrons a world-class dining experience. Of course, the staff is made up of the trainers, and the trainees -- the latter category are students who are learning the ropes. So you have to be prepared for the occasional glitch (in our case it was a broken-off cork in a wine bottle). But the trainers are there to remedy any problems and they are really smooth (and by the way completely fluent in several languages, including English). And the wonderful thing about a training restaurant is that everyone is focused on trying really really hard to show you a Michelin-star-level dining experience, just because they want to make it great. And the food is wonderful!! We had the tasting menu and it was amazing. The best meal I've had in Asia in a year! Just like the best restaurants in France or Spain, the portion sizes are moderate and it is all about exploring wonderful, complex flavors and textures in the food. There were about six different courses. And the price was quite reasonable. The wine list is all Portuguese wines, and it was quite extensive, with a range of options and prices to suit all palates and budgets. The waiter/trainer who was helping us gave us outstanding advice on reasonably-priced bottles that beautifully complemented the tasting menu. All in all, it was a world-class dining experience and excellent value for money. I would warmly recommend it to all visitors to Macau who want to explore the city's culinary culture -- where West meets East. P.S. In getting to the restaurant, beware of Google Maps driving instructions. The restaurant is at the very top of the Mong-Ha hill, and if you (or your taxi driver) are being told to drive right up to the hill on "Patio do Cel. Mezquita", you will find the IFT buildings inaccessible, looming over you. You need to find the "Rampa do Forte de Mong Ha" and go all the way up it, to the top.

Reviewed By dhui

service at the restaurant was excellent, very caring and attentive service.for the menu, it felt the offering was lacking surprises and creativity.seems to me the menu and offering were great back in the 90s, but not in 2019.more development is needed on their food to keep the brand on the forefront.personally, the tasting menu was a very over-priced given the experience offered.I hope to see more changes in the offering which would give us another reason to revisit.

Reviewed By pjb27301

I’ve resided in Macau for 10 years and had heard rave reports about Macau Soul so my wife and I finally made it here and absolutely loved it. It’s small extremely cozy, quiet with only 5 tables, accompanied by excellent hosts and food and wine was great. Polished it all off with David’s recommenced 1997 Port wine - perfect evening. We will be back as it’s the perfect place for a lazy relaxing afternoon or evening after touring the city or casinos. However as I said it’s small and popular so make sure you book well in advance and you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely perfect dinner. My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner so much. The scenery is unbeatable, with an open view of the bay. Taste-wise, you are definitely in for a treat, really want to say it here, but may be inappropriate, but it’s “org.ism in your mouth”. And the service was great, friendly and professional servers. Scott, who is our server, was terrific, he was very friendly, sociable and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely come again.
