Mesa by José Avillez
Culinary mastery meets mixology artistry at Mesa by José Avillez. As one of Macau's most celebrated destinations for contemporary Portuguese cuisine, Mesa's most recent prestigious accolades include 2025 Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Restaurant and Trip.Best Gourmet Awards 2024 – Platinum Restaurant.
As Mesa's partner, Michelin-starred Chef José Avillez brings his visionary culinary ethos to the fore, championing the art of sharing and connection at the table through the restaurant's "Casual Fine Dining" philosophy inspired by Macanese and Chinese cuisine. Head Chef Herlander Fernandes manifests this dining concept with an innovative menu honouring Portugal's culinary heritage with classic favourites and seasonal specialties elevated by the finest quality ingredients prepared with modern culinary techniques. With signature dishes such as Codfish à Brás with Explosive Olives and King Crab on Cristal Bread, the restaurant's menu harmoniously blends authentic traditional flavours with modern techniques, creating a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience.
The restaurant's chic interior ingeniously weaves together Chinese iconography and Karl Lagerfeld's cutting-edge style, with the legendary designer's signature black, white and gold tones. Symbolising happiness and good fortune, the restaurant's magpie motif acts as a cultural bridge between China and Portugal, continuing the East-meets-West theme in elegant tabletop ornaments and a mesmerising LED ceiling animation that captures their graceful flight.
Helmed by Resort Master Mixologist Frederick Ma, Mesa Bar sets the stage for world-class concoctions. Inside the ultra-trendy, birdcage-inspired bar, the global mixology luminary creates showstopping serves that tell stories from Portuguese and Chinese heritage. With sustainability in mind, the bar proudly utilises house-made ingredients from house-planted herbs, using fruit remnants from its commissary kitchen to create Kombuchas and Mead Honey Wine with a "Zero Waste" concept. Mesa Bar also uses spirits from ecoSPIRITS for its cocktail base to delight your palate while reducing carbon footage one exquisite sip at a time.
This restaurant is a SJM Supreme Card participating outlet.
