Don Alfonso, Macau


We went to Don Alfonso at Grand Lisboa Hotel on Randy of Grand Hyatt Hotel's recommendation. Grand Lisboa Hotel & Casino is located in the older part of the Macau. It's not far from where we stay and we took a cab to get there. The restaurant was a bit quiet when we arrived at 1:30PM. The menu offered a nice selection and each of us decided on having a 2-course meal. First of all we were served with a generous selection of bread. They were warm and lovely.


 


We all get our Amuse Bouche (picture above), followed by our choice of starter. I started with Crispy layers of scallops and green asparagus with sweet paprika and sea urchin sauce (below). 





My main Entree was Spring chicken, fresh green peppercorn sauce, crispy purple potatoes and baby carrots and the dessert was Hot dumplings of pears, pinenuts and raisin served with buffalo ricotta sorbet and raspberry sauce.

 

Miss K chose Lasagna (below) as her Middle Course


Her main Entree was Striped red mullet, “Frascatelli” flavoured with lemon from “Sorrento”, wild arugula, Aglianico red wine reduction.

 

Her dessert was  Hot chocolate cake with banana sorbet and tangerine marmalade coulis.

 

DH had Tiramisu for dessert, see below.


There was a selection of complimentary petit four that we could have too, along with Coffee or Tea. 



So that's the end of a long lunch. It was quite a nice experience, but we have tried a better one in Macau and we planned to head there for dinner. Another Italian cuisine for the next meal. We look forward to it.
