The story
Pearl Dragon is a Cantonese restaurant at Estrada do Istmo, Cotai, in Taipa, Macao, and holds a Michelin one star for 2026.
Forbes Travel Guide awarded Pearl Dragon Five-Star status in 2026, noting that each plate is designed with complementary textures, colors and flavors. Every meal opens with an amuse bouche and closes with petit fours, a French-derived touch within the Chinese menu. Service is attentive enough that a glass rarely runs dry.
The drinks list ranges from classic cocktails to Chinese-inspired flavors. A sommelier can pair a bottle with the Cantonese menu, and a tea sommelier can guide you through Chinese selections. Among them are pu'er teas aged more than 30 years, with a smooth, earthy profile.
