Tom's Food!
"...Kei will describe his Aromatic Crispy Coconut Duck as one of his signature dishes. I know this because you'll meet him in Chef Watch next week. We have four months still to go in 2024, but I can tell you without doubt that Tom Eats! has found its Dish of the Year. The menu will tell you that it's in a sweet and sour aromatic coconut sauce with a kick of spice. And, praise be, they serve you lots of it. We oohed and aahed; we slurped and swooned. We paused, ate and enjoyed the Minchi. Then, like the most joyous homecoming, we returned to the duck, scoffed every morsel and almost came to blows over who should be allowed to lick the plate.
I think we'll leave it at that. I'm already planning the next visit."

FODOR'S Travel
Macau Kitchen is a hidden gem and an inconspicuous chef’s favorite (always a ringing endorsement). This intimate restaurant has a real independent spirit and has won many awards, including Best Asian Fusion Restaurant In Scotland. Their offerings of Macanese and Malacca Portuguese cuisine, inspired by the Portuguese journey along the Asia spice route are unique among the Edinburgh food landscape. The restaurant has both a consistent menu of favorites and ever-changing creative specials inspired by the chef’s personal relationship with Macau and Malacca. With a welcoming atmosphere, BYOB policy, and an authentic menu that encourages sharing, Macau Kitchen is full of joy. When you visit, you, too, will be full of joy – and excellent food. Just be sure to go early if you don’t have a reservation.

2019 - Phil Wang first dine at Macau Kitchen
"Charming Macau-Portuguese cuisine, 15mins walk South of the Royal Mile. The far travelled owners cook themselves, warm, family-like atmosphere meets aromas of the world - what a fusion: Portuguese hearty palate, Asian-aromatic flavour. Opened only in 2019 but already highly rated which is why it's best to book a table. Bring red wine (byob). Famous Holyrood park is perfect for a digestive walk after." MARCO POLO
Triporganiser
''Considered a first when it comes to world cuisine fusions, Macau Kitchen unites the island of Macau and Portugal into a mix of exclusive dishes - the only one of its kind in the UK. Listing Portuguese classics such as salted cod, but cooked with spices and coconut milk, this restaurant serves up some extraordinary flavours that need to be experienced.'' Triporganiser
“A compact yet world-spanning restaurant, possibly the only of its kind in the UK.”
