The story
La Chine is a Cantonese restaurant in Taipa, at The Parisian Macao Eiffel Tower, Level 6, Macau, China. Forbes Travel Guide awarded it Four-Star status in 2026, and the dining room sits inside the resort's Eiffel Tower.
Executive Chinese Chef Ben Lui leads the kitchen and cooks Cantonese food in its traditional form. The plates are composed with care, and the presentation is part of the meal rather than decoration.
The poached Boston lobster arrives in a superior prawn broth with crispy rice. The broth is made fresh twice a day, and the rice and broth are mixed at the table so the dish sizzles as it is served. The smoked baby pigeon is a Cantonese classic here: it is braised in soy, deep-fried, then smoked with lemongrass over applewood. Other plates include wok-fried flat rice noodles with beef, glutinous dumplings shaped like auspicious mandarins, and sponge cakes sweetened with dates.
Glass windows and marble flooring lead into a dining room with modern decor and views of the Cotai Strip. As evening falls, the elegant bar pours premium wines and cocktails. Wine Spectator gave the restaurant its Best of Award of Excellence in 2023.
