Macau Kitchen - Macanese & Malacca Portuguese in Edinburgh, City of

Excellent service and cuisine！！！👍👍👍

This place is a gem! The food is great and they are very kind. I definitely recommend it.

This was our favourite restaurant from our long weekend in Edinburgh. The waitress was so welcoming and friendly, and so knowledgeable. Having Portuguese connections ourselves, it was so nice to try Portuguese-Chinese fusion food. Minchi was bloody brilliant and the Duck main was phenomenal. The special small plate of Peixinhos Da Horta was also a highlight. Would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a taste of something different, but comforting and familiar at the same time. 🇲🇴 🇵🇹

Very welcoming but it was too expensive and small portions. The mains came out with an awkward gap between so we eating at different times. Squid and starters were over cooked. Big tax on BYO. Seems like a popular place but didn’t work for us.

It was my first time dining at Macau Kitchen at Edinburgh. The first thing that caught my attention was the way the staffs interacted with the customers. Especially Hoeyyn , the way she explained about all the dishes were just so unique. The restaurant had a really nice ambience. Also their portion size is perfect .Their sweet sour spicy squid is so delicious. Overall , Macau Kitchen would be a very memorable part of my trip to Edinburgh.

Macau kitchen was so memorable that we came back a second time after 2.5 years! The food was great and the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Hoeyyn was an amazing host, her stories and understanding of maccanese cuisine were truly fascinating. We hope to come again the next time we visit Edinburgh!

The food here is excellent for Edinburgh standards. Octopus salad was basically a ceviche and done quite well, nice chew Proper flavours for the curry of the coconut crispy duck, and the fried duck was brined correctly. Delicious Golden ckn was alright, deep fried ckn and potatoes, in a golden sauce which was unique tasting and quite decent, not sure what they put inside but they mentioned tamarind as one of the ingredients. The special main of the day was this stir fry, of ckn thigh slices which were nice and pork sausage. The flavours were quite complex, but this isn't done in the traditional wok hey style so it's hard for me to judge if it's well executed. Nonetheless, pretty decent

Had the nicest meal and experience at Macau Kitchen. The chef came and introduced himself and the other owner who was our main server was absolutely fantastic and accommodating and funny and sweet. The food was FANTASTIC!!!! Would come back to Scotland from Canada just for this food again!!

Very delicious food! The chef and everyone in the restaurant are very friendly and helpful! The concept is very nice, with different menus every day! Each dish had subtle notes and flavors, very, very delicious! We would definitely visit again!

My partner and I visited over the weekend having been given a voucher for the "chefs table" from a family member. Having never visited before we eere unsure what to expect but the staff looked after us throughout our meal. Each course was introduced to us by the staff, explaining what was included (and where needed how to eat the dish!). The chef table experience is a mystery menu, however at the point of booking you are asked some questions to make sure you don't get anything you are allergic, anything you really dislike and how spicy you like your food. From there leave it in their capable hands to give you a brilliant dining experience. It is also BYOB 🍷

This is a place I have been trying to visit for a while now. It has been closed due to several unfortunate events. The staff is very friendly, making you feel super welcome. The food is amazing, and the drinks are very special. A must in Edi.

The food is great. As somebody from Hong Kong, the Macanese food here contained familiar flavors with some unique twists. I highly recommend the Golden Chicken and Signature Coconut Duck. Also give the Salty Lemon 7-Up a shot, it's a Cantonese classic. The service is also amazing!

Intimate and charming restaurant with the most pleasant staff, beautifully cooked and delicious food with interesting ingredients that bring a unique dining experience

Stunning, authentic food. The octopus starter was incredible. Would visit again when in the area for sure, highly recommend!

Flawless! Truly the greatest dining experience I’ve ever had. Every time I come here I feel welcome. The food is in a league of its own, which is only matched by its outstanding service. The owners and staff are enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable about Macanese cuisine and history. I genuinely believe that this place is a cultural institution that everyone should experience! I couldn’t recommend Macau Kitchen more if I tried!!!

Very friendly staff bringing you excellent food. The place itself is not very big, but really cosy. The staff is passionate about food clearly and are happy to give good recommendations depending on the type of food you like. The chef brings up new dishes of the day which are the best in my opinion. Would definitely be back, glad to see good food and give my money not to a big chain but to people that care about you and want you to have a great experience 😊

We found this place from reddit and I couldn't speak highly of it. Starting with the staff, they are very friendly and welcoming and ease you right in - especially because for first-timers, you wouldn't know the menu so well. Bare in mind that the restaurant is small and may not he wheelchair friendly. The BYOB policy was pretty good, and they serve plenty of creative Non alcoholic drinks. We had Spring Rolls and Spicy Polvo for our appetizers, and they were very, very good, especially Polvo. For our mains, we did Chef's specials for the day : Pork Pongdeh and Chicken Peri Peri, and let me tell you something, this was hands down one of the best meals I have ever had. Both pork and chicken were so tender, and the sauce they were cooked in combined perfectly with a side of rice. We loved it so much that we asked for a second bowl of rice. Also, if you like spicy food, order their special chilly sauce of the day. You won't regret it ( or you will next morning 😁 ) All in all, I would come back here next time I am in Edinburgh and would recommend everyone to eat here, at least once.

The food is incredible! I love these natural fusion cuisines, Chinese and Portugese in this case. The chefs are obviously real experts in the Macau cuisine. I had the house duck speciality dish, and I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu in my future visits. The staff are also very open, friendly and attentive.

Seriously overpriced. Ordered spring rolls, they tasted as if they were from the freezer and were also over cooked/slightly burnt. One dish was basically mince and rice with a little spice. We also ordered a pork belly dish and it was the fattiest pork I've ever had. Such a shame as we had seen really good reviews for this place and were super excited to check it out but honestly feel the food was below average.

We visited Macau kitchen tonight for the first time. The food was incredible and we will be definitely back. Everyone should try the duck :)! I would like to highlight also the service- the server was extremely sweet and very polite. We felt very good and left happy and fed. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend to visit.

Great place. Mix of Portuguese and eastern flavours. Would def reccomend

The food was really nice and the service was really kind!!

We stumbled upon this little gem tonight. Absolutely loved the two mains that we ordered - pork and duck… delicious flavour soooo yummy. Can’t fault it. The spring rolls as a starter was a bit average and overdone. Thicker ones with more flavour and a good sized dip would have been preferred. The pistachio desert was good also! The manager, chef and staff were so friendly and helpful, it felt very close nit and personal. We have booked to come again.

Absolutely loved dinner, ordered octopus to start and had lamb and duck as mains, everything was delightful, cannot recommend the duck highly enough. Service was fantastic and will definitely come back again.

This was one of the best culinary experiences my family and I have had in a long time. We ate here a month ago and are still talking about it. The chef seemed very passionate about his work and each dish (duck, chicken curry, beef) were so flavorful, heartwarming and the meat was tender. The creme brulee at the end was so simple yet delicious too. Don't miss out on this!

What an incredible meal we had. The service and welcome were fabulous. All dishes on the menu and specials board were explained and they asked how spicy we enjoyed our food and cooked it accordingly. We choose a selection of dishes and shared, every dish was amazing, the flavours and quality of ingredients were phenomenal! We all enjoyed the food, atmosphere and staff greatly. We were very surprised by the bill and how inexpensive our meal had been. Every single detail is taken into account with this restaurant and I can’t wait to return!

This restaurant knocks it out of the park. One of the best meals I've had in the UK. As a homesick Malaysian, every dish sent me back to my hometown. I am certain to return whenever I visit Edinburgh in the future. Do book in advance. Otherwise, you have no chance to try their truly excellent dining experience.

The duck was incredible, the chicken was incredible, the beef special was incredible. Will be back.

Super helpful and very lovely host/server with picking our dishes, food was so delicious with so many different flavors. The chef came out and chatted as well which was fun to hear from him! Thank you for a great meal and experience!! Our favorites were the octopus starter and duck curry! BYOB!

Authentic Macau Cuisine in Edinburgh Macau Kitchen in Edinburgh offers an authentic and flavorful dining experience that’s definitely worth trying. The food was truly amazing—from the crispy duck to the perfectly cooked pork, every dish was bursting with flavour. The Wagyu beef was good, though it didn’t quite live up to the high expectations, but overall, the quality of the cuisine was impressive. The service was both friendly and efficient, though it can be a tad bit confusing when they try to help you with your order. However, it’s clear they genuinely care about ensuring you have a great experience. Just be aware that because it’s a popular spot, you’ll have a designated time slot, so the dining experience is a bit more structured. All in all, it was a great experience, and if you’re curious about Macau’s cuisine, this is a must-try spot in Edinburgh.

Heavenly experience . Excellent atmosphere & attentive service . Mustard chicken was heavenly followed by lamb that tasted so very good . Beautifully decorated interior & highly recommend to all .

Delicious food, very friendly staff who knew a lot about the menu. We managed to get in but would advise booking!

The best meal I have ever had in my life. I can die happy knowing I got to eat here. Friendly staff, amazing meal. I wish I could give it 10 stars

A very enjoyable birthday meal - the food was top notch, and the staff/chef were very welcoming. Would highly recommend

The most authentic Macanese food in the U.K.! Service was great had a great chat with the chef and the service reminded me of being fed by an auntie. Great cosy vibes and again the food was phenomenal! Thank you for having us!

Outstanding food, welcome and charisma in this restaurant. Can’t wait to return. Mustard chicken, duck and squid were all highlights. Lava cake too. Brilliant.

Not tasted like the food from Macau. Not many choices indeed. Disappointed and never come back! We did attend and eat in your restaurant a few days ago!

Waited 45 mins as we stupidly didn’t reserve and it was more than worth it!! The staff kept updating us, including the chef and it was nice to wait and build an appetite - also allowed us to invite 2 more friends given the waiting time which made it even more exciting! What an amazing place - the food, the service and the atmosphere! The chef comes out multiple times to check in on people which gives a very personal touch - service is quick and there is a nice buzz about the place! The energy is amazing with loads of regulars and the staff actually remembering in many instances what they previously ordered - yes, I people watch! Portion size is good and they use good quality produce/ingredients. If you think you didn’t get enough portions, then you either didn’t order enough or you eat too much.. 😅 After taking pics of the first few dishes, just couldn’t be bothered as it was too delish to waste time. Spent an average of 40+ per person but that’s coz we were hungry and the food was just delish - ordered more than normal and wiped it clean. We even had a vegetarian in the group and they had a great Vegan option which we all tried and agreed it was really good.. Good job to the team and will defo come back again, and again and again and this time with a reservation!

Best service. Intimate, cozy and classy experience. The beef curry may be one of the best dishes I have ever tasted 👌 Thank you!

Wow just wow, did not expect such great food every single dish was excellent. We got 4 starters and 4 mains and just shared them all from the middle of the table. The pork belly curry was very tasty but my favourite was the daily special Sambal Beer Lamb. Service was excellent with all the food explained very well. Small restaurant and a homely feel.

Third time in here and I am excited every time we book a table because I know great food is coming our way. We had the special mustard chicken, the spring roll and the spicy polvo salad for starters. Everything was so tasty and the mains were even better. Chicken Pongteh is an all-time favourite for me, I don't think I have ever had a tastier dish in a restaurant. The sour pork belly curry was unlike any pork belly I have ever tried. Never came accross fat so rendered down that we did not even had to chew and the texture was more than perfect. Thank you Macau Kitchen again, we will be back soon!

Having dreams about that duck for at least a week

Such an amazing dining experience. The is delicious, but for me the service is the highlight. Hoeyyn is very passionate and sweet. They change the progressive menu daily which makes it very exciting to visit.

Excellent experience, people there are very friendly and helpful, they would give customers a detailed introduction about their menus, and the food is also very good. The only problem is this restaurant is a little bit small, which means it would be better to reserve a table before you arrive.

Pork with curry dish as well as the duck were delicious! Great service! Recommend for sure when in Edinburgh!

We booked and unfortunately there was a district wide power cut in Edinburgh. Macau contacted us before asking if we still wished to proceed with a limited menu which we did. We had 3 courses as the power came back on before the mains arrived. Food was excellent with fresh ingredients. A different cuisine was fun to try, and service was very attentive, efficient and friendly. We will certainly return.

Absolutely delightful from start to finish. The team were so friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Highly recommend. We had a group of 4 and shared 3 starters and 3 mains between us (plus rice). We chose a mix of the standard menu and the specials and everything was delicious- I genuinely couldn't pick a favourite. I would recommend booking in advance as it was full when we went. Thank you so much!

Macau Kitchen was a very lucky find! Food is tasty, fun and honestly some of the best I've ever had. Staff was helpful and friendly, atmosphere was great. If you are in Edinburgh is a must! Booking is highly recommended , they are always very busy.

Fantastic Macau cuisine restaurant just a few minutes walk from Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The dishes are very varied and cooked very well, the meats melted in your mouth. The Mocktails are also recommended, they are special and worth trying even if you are skeptical. The managers were very friendly and helpful.

This might be the best meal I've ever had The staff are very friendly, we had the chef come out to our table to explain all the dishes and recommend some of them I chose the vegan duck alternative, and it was incredible If you visit Edinburgh this is a must visit, and I am looking forward to returning

The food here is delicious, and the service is also very good. The chef and service staff are very kind and introduce the food so that we can eat delicious food and desserts in the UK🥰😋

Outstanding! From the welcome to the food and the service throughout, everything was fantastic! Octopus salad was an awesome start. Delicious sirloin served by the chef himself. If the pork curry special is on just get it! And the chocolate dessert to finish was perfect. Definitely worth a visit, but booking essential. 😋👌🏻

I went alone to experience Laman.

Our dinner at Macau Kitchen was the culinary highlight of our recent trip to Scotland. This unassuming and highly decorated restaurant serves amazing Luso-Asian fare, usually found in such places as Macau, Melaka, and Goa. Luso-Asian cuisine might not be that renowned, yet it blends two of the most delicious culinary traditions in the world -- Chinese and Portuguese. Everything we tried was exceptional and we specially recommend the "bolinhos de bacalhau" (salted-cod croquettes) as an appetizer. And for dessert, go for the "pastéis de nata!"

A wonderful nook of delicious cookery; we loved every course and the courses were all peppered with outstanding, friendly, homely service. An absolute find for us, we'll definitely be coming back.

This is one of my most two favorite restaurants in the UK. They do not only offer you with the great taste but also pass on the food experience. All dishes are classic, yet innovative. This means they refine and improve the classic dishes within the traditional “framework” of cooking methods and ingredients. This cannot be done if the chef does not truly understand the spirit of each dish. The service is good, the place is clean, and the price is reasonable. Advance booking is needed. Highly recommended.

I loved this place ! The food was amazing ! I loved the mix of Chinese and Portuguese! Bacalhua mixed with minchi, mixed with duck !!! Most importantly the owners were super welcoming and made our experience extra special !!

Asian American here. Food is good. Generous portions. Very friendly service. Nice decoration with interesting cultural vibes. They have a small regular menu and a daily special menu written on a blackboard. The classic manchi is hearty and filling. The house salad is very refreshing with a citrusy flavor. The golden dessert is great with a lemony flavor, not too sweet—perfect for my taste. I recommend going there with friends so you can share plates, as the portions are quite big for one person.

Delicious food and great service!

Best restaurant experience I've had in the city! Including food, service, atmosphere, vibes. Its a MUST VISIT. Very small and cozy with small menu crafted to perfection! Tried almost the full menu and every dish that kept on coming to the table was one better than the other! Mustard crispy chicken, Pineapple Squid and Coconut Duck were the highlights, but If they'd ask me to choose I would struggle to decide, because again, every single dish was unreal! Last but for sure not least, service was best of the best! Very attentive, friendly, informative and charming. Thank you for having me and will be back soon! Keep up the amazing work and vibe Macau team!

Excellent restaurant. Unique and delicious food, friendly and attentive service. We loved it.

This was an unexpected and most welcome, by chance, discovery. This is "Mom-and-Pops" at it's peak, the "Crème de la crème" The food was exquisite, cooked to perfection and perfectly balanced in flavour. The duck fell from the bone, the pork melted in the mouth, the "Golden Torta" popped with zesty layers and textures. The owners (Maître d' and Head Chef) were close at hand and engaging, providing the best tips for how to enjoy every last drop of sauce and making sure we didn't miss any perfect mouth feel opportunities. This was the best restaurant experience my partner and I have had in Edinburgh, trumping Michelin stars and à la carte fine dining. We will be back and recommending to everyone we know. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Absolutely top tier, elite food from Macau served with expert attentive service. You will be TAKEN CARE of here and start planning your next visit. They even made special off menu vegan dishes for us without any problems at all. Will be back!

This place is a gem. Delicious food, amazing and friendly service.

Third time at Macau Kitchen and it just does not disappoint! I brought my very critical foodie family there and they were very impressed too. We ordered a couple of the specials - if you ever see the sour pork curry on the specials board, then give it a try - and the staples of the coconut crispy duck and octopus salad. Plus a few other winners. The dessert didn't even look like much, but it was SO delicious! Just such a lovely vibe from the team and chef - thank you, as always.

Went for the 'chefs table' option, so every dish was a surprise... and it was so good! Incredible food and fantastic service. Loved everything about this place and will definitely be back

I took my parents out for a meal and we had the most exceptional experience. Food was all amazing, service was even better. Incredibly accommodating and helpful with my allergies. It may look like a small menu online but they have a large menu that changes in everyday too. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and will definitely be back many times in the future!

This small and cozy restaurant serves amazing food. Discard thee u and simply ask for chef’s recommendations. We had three small plates and one main for two people. Great service and friendly, family run dining room was a fun way to talk about the food, the world and make cross cultural connections.

The duck steak on their progressive menu was amazing. Thank you for having us! I recommend booking in advance via their whatsapp.

Tasty, well-cooked and creative dishes. Delicious non-alcoholic cocktails with fruit flavors. Attentive service, with qualified staff. A restaurant to repeat.

Service and cook with heart and soul! Exceptional & tasteful!! Great tip outside Marco Polo travel guide. The journey was worth it.

I cannot fault the food, staff and ambiance of the restaurant! So happy to have been part of their first Sunday evening and I cannot recommend it enough. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you all so much

EVERYTHING WAS INCREDIBLE (especially the chocolate dessert)!! I couldn’t recommend this place more. We had the spicy octopus salad, meat croquettes, fried chicken and chef’s special duck. Every dish was delicious and the service was amazing with everyone being friendly and helpful. We would have returned the next day had it not have been closed on Sundays! Our favourite meal in Edinburgh!

Was here solo for dinner on a Saturday evening. They don't have many tables and was busy through the course of my dinner so I felt lucky to be able to get a table. The place is well decorated with lots of details, however it does feel a little cramped so conversations are easily overheard. Still, it's probably a good choice for catch-up between a small group of friends - make sure you book in advance as they've already built up a local reputation. I tried their Chef's Vegan Duck. Didn't come with rice which was ordered separately. It was nice - if I was being pedantic I'd say the flavours could be better layered / balanced. Service was good. The manager / owner looking person likes to talk to customers, glad she spared me the trouble though. Pricing leans towards premium compared to other nearby choices of similar calibre in food. Note mandatory service charge for parties over 4 people.

It was a pleasant surprise to find a Macanese restaurant in Scotland of all places. Do not misunderstood that this is like the typical restaurant in HK/Macau (茶餐廳). Think of it as a fusion Portuguese cuisine. In prices and menu. I can't comment about prices because I don't know where Scotland prices among diners. Dishes come in the size of tapas. Citrus mulberry tea - I'm impressed of the creativity. Very delicious hot drink. Not too sweet but very tasty. Octopus salad - Love the salad, the onion was perfect, not as spicy as most raw onion. However, I typically enjoy stronger flavor, I prefer the dressings to be more intense. Bolinhos De Bacalhau - Loved it. Very good quality. Like the best I've had in Portugal and Macau. Authentic and delicious! Spicy crispy basil chicken - Flavor and crispiness was perfectly done. The chicken was very lightly battered, or may be not. It crispy but doesn't notice the batter, so it may lightly powder with corn starch. The flavor was perfect and the sauce it used is like honey mustard. Really light up the dish. There crispy basil leaves was good also but probably should easy on the salt. But just the basil. Crispy curry duck - This dish is a fusion dish. Crispy duck was done perfectly. Taste great and even in the curry sauce it still taste crispy. The curry sauce reminded me of Thai curry but the good one. Slightly sweet and coconutty and I LOVE the cabbage salad. Finely chop cabbage and carrots underneath the crispy duck soaked in sauce made it a wonderful salad. The restaurant is small. Just get reservation. Respond by text very promptly. The lady was very "informative" and friendly, she's a Malay. We didn't ask the chef too much info, he is either Portuguese or Macanese, Portuguese born in Macau. I would have known if I could try they pastel de nata but they didn't have it on Sunday night. They weren't supposed to open on Sunday night but they texted us the night before since there wasn't any availability but invited us to come on Sunday night for they are preparing a special private dining for just one round of guests. I think texting is the best way to communicate with them.

Hubby and I came across this highly rated restaurant on Google and it did not disappoint. The food here was excellent and the host was an absolute ray of sunshine. She was super helpful in helping us select our dinner courses. She was super attentive and friendly. The crispy duck was hands down my favourite - one of the best duck dishes I've had. Simple, flavourful and super crispy yet tender. I was tempted to order a second helping for dessert 😂. The chocolate cake was rich and super moist - it's a sponge cake. The other two dishes we ordered were just as tasty! I would 100% go back to this restaurant and would definitely recommend it. It's a good idea to make a reservation if you do visit as it was packed the entire time we were here.

Just had an amazing evening at the macau kitchen.. from the moment we walked in it was a joy to be there. The front of house staff enchanting and the chef a culinary dream. Thank you

A very unique blend of Macau - West style cuisine. While they do have their staple menu, they usually rotate and change their menu of the day to keep things fresh, which is great because you can always order something new. This is intentional since the chef loves to experiment with new dishes or to just tinker with his menu. I find that admirable and brings more value to their dishes. All staffs are also very friendly and are so helpful in explaining the dishes and won't hesitate to give their recommendation to you.

Most amazing food in Edinburgh!! The recommendations for food was on point! Service was great! Could not rate highly enough!!

incredible food, sweet and friendly staff. had a nice chat with the chef, what a skilled and talented guy!!!

Amazing place, love the seasonal menu and always discover a new dish when I come

Macau Kitchen is one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh and I always recommend it to my friends who are visiting or living in Edinburgh. Hoyyen is a gracious host and my friends and I have always had a lovely time. Their secret menu events are top-tier and unique. The best meal I’ve had in Edinburgh was actually at one of these events. I cannot recommend this place enough♥️

Delicious food and amazing dining experience, great fusion of flavours with some authentic dishes like Bak kut teh making an appearance on their specials. Its a small restaurant so booking advised, the host and chef will come out to greet you and have a chat and cracking some jokes to keep things jolly, making it a really cool informal dining experience and more like having good dinner with family and friends! We have been back a couple of times already as the menu changes and will come back again soon!

Fantastic food and great service. We had the seared duck breast, octopus salad, and beef minchi, and they were all cooked to perfection.

Good experience ! I was looking for something different and I found this address that was a great surprise ! I recommend the duck, my girlfriend and I spent a real good time.

I expected typical Chinese food in here but it was more like Portuguese food. Very unique and special type, I haven’t seen these food in Edinburgh. Chef and staffs are so friendly and food is delicious. Just one thing, I recommend you book your table in advance.

Amazing food and very kind owners. Necessary to book in advance.

Fantastic experience. The food was unique and extremely tasty, special mention to the duck dish which was incredible - crispy duck, with creamy coconut base and complimentary spices and veg accompanying it. Really great mix of flavours. The menu seemed short on the website but there was an array of specials on the board which rounded the selection out perfectly. The service was extremely attentive, passionate about their food and keen to contextualise the dishes and give recommendations. The chef visited the tables to give advice on how to eat it and to ask how you enjoyed it. We had three courses with a mix of menu and specials, couldn't fault a dish. A genuine hidden gem, we will definitely go back!

Real passion has gone into this restaurant. The food is amazing and I’ve never met more dedicated and friendly owners :)

Amazing food and service, feels homely and left v happy, everything feels v well prepped and cooked with attention. It's not cheap but thats the point, this isn't your normal Asian restaurant. Only issue was the noisy whistling door with the wind, just needs fixing, and maybe some different music.

We had a great time celebrating Valentine’s Day here. The staff was friendly, and the place had a nice vibe. The food was delicious, reminding us of our wonderful trip to Macau. We'll definitely be coming back soon and looking forward to it!

We had such a lovely meal here. Cozy little restaurant serving absolutely delicious food, with warm and friendly service. We were well taken care of and didn't feel rushed. It's BYOB and felt relaxed and homey. One of my favourite meals I've ever had in Edinburgh, with incredible flavour and fresh ingredients. All of the staff were clearly proud of the dishes they were serving up, and we had the chance to let the talented chef know how much we enjoyed our meal. Will be back as soon as we can!

Amazing place and original cuisine. Staff is great and very pleasant and the chef serves and explains the dishes himself. Definitely a place to try out, it seems to have its regulars though. The braised pork was amazing, and the quality of their jasmine rice is unmatched!! vegan/nut-free options. Make sure to call ahead though as it gets quite busy and walk-in might not be served.

Had an amazing experience at Macao Kitchen this Friday! The servers were very friendly and helped explain all the dishes. It was a blast to have been able to try Macanese cuisine. In particular the duck spring rolls and pork dishes were great. It was very busy and some walk ins could not secure a table so make sure to reserve in advance. Overall a pleasurable experience and would recommend!

it is delicious. Great taste. I had minchi rice bowl and stewed pork. In particular, the braised pork tastes like spicy Korean ribs.

Had a really excellent meal, also a fascinating chat about the origins and developments of Macau cuisine. So a lot of food for the head as well. Big thanks to everyone at the restaurant. Will definately be going back.

We had an amazing time at the restaurant tonight! From the minute we walked in we felt like we were special guests. It was the last day of Chinese New Year so we’re lucky enough to get some of their specials including a ‘tossing salad’, a traditional dish which involves multiple ingredients each with a particular significance. For dessert we had glutinous rice stuffed with sesame or peanut balls floating in an exquisite hot sauce of cinnamon and ginger. It’s a tiny space with a fantastic vibe. Will definitely go back.

Delicious food (definitely try the duck!) and such incredible care taken by the whole team to make sure you have everything you need. Very excited to go back and try some other dishes, can’t recommend enough.

My husband & I found this place last summer during the Fringe Fest and fell in love. We love in Glasgow but the trip is absolutely worth it. The restaurant offers a small, warm, intimate dining experience that makes you feel like you've been invited into the owner/chefs home kitchen. The food is out of this world and the portions are excellent for the price. The first time we went we ended up leaving with the cookbook written by the chef, we were so excited to have a further window in Macanese food and other flavors of the Portuguese spice trade. I highly recommend ordering the minchi! We've been back twice and already have reservations for a 4th visit on the book, used the cookbook several times, and truly cannot say enough about how much we love eating here. We both highly highly recommend it!!

What’s wonderful experience to share! Amazing Traditional Macanese Cuisine. The Chef/Owner Kei de Freitas and his wife Hoeyyn Ngu are welcoming, caring, funny, and very attentive yo your needs and culinary experience. The ambiance in the restaurant brings two distinctive regions together - this is what Macanese Cuisine consists of: a fusion of different regions of Asia and Portuguese cuisine. Cuisine was exquisite and service to match. I highly recommend a visit to be treated to a truly wonderful dining experience at the Macau Kitchen. Do make reservations in advance sine the dining is usually booked and it’s an intimate experience. Viva!!🇲🇴
