Established in 1989 at Rua da Felicidade No. 40, Dragon Portuguese Cuisine has evolved from a family-run Macanese eatery into a small-to-medium enterprise. Over the years, it has earned widespread acclaim and customer loyalty. In 2015, the brand partnered with Galaxy Entertainment Group to open a franchise at Broadway Macau. Its exceptional reputation has earned it numerous accolades, including the MICHELIN Star and MICHELIN Plate awards in 2017 and 2018, respectively, the Star Merchant Award from the Macao Government Tourism Office, and the Distinctive Shop designation from the Economic and Technological Development Bureau.
With a 36-year legacy in Portuguese and Macanese cuisine, Dragon Portuguese Cuisine is one of the longest-standing Portuguese restaurants in the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro area. Its core team carries forward the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of “Macanese Culinary Arts,” and its chefs are highly skilled in traditional Portuguese cooking techniques. The restaurant insists on using only the freshest ingredients; its signature curry crab features meaty, freshly selected mud crabs. It also adheres to traditional methods; for instance, the Portuguese-style baked duck rice is prepared by simmering rice in rich duck bone broth. It has delivered consistent quality for over three decades and has even earned praise from Portuguese tourists who say it rivals the authentic restaurants back home in Portugal.
From its modest beginnings on Rua da Felicidade to its expansion into Broadway Macau, Dragon Portuguese Cuisine has brought the authentic flavors of Macanese cuisine to the table, backed by over three decades of family recipes and traditional culinary craftsmanship. Renowned for its premium ingredients and affordable prices, every dish embodies Macao’s unique cultural fusion, taking diners on a flavorful journey back to the Age of Discovery.
