Sum Yuen

Top choice in Macau


You can pick from over 150 creative dishes at this modern restaurant at Pou Tai Temple. Avocado, yam and eggplant figure on the menu, in the form of sushi, teppanyaki or pudding, as do mushrooms and bamboo piths as soup or stir-fry. The cooking style is Chinese, with nods to Japan, Europe and Southeast Asia.

You can have a feast here, and a healthy one at that, especially if you come with friends.
