Sao Domingos Market

The Sao Domingos Market (Complexo Municipal do Mercado de S. Domingos) is a small marketplace in Macau and one that is highly recommended for foodies and gourmands looking for authentic local tastes.

It houses both a food court and a wet market where you can go on a culinary journey of Chinese and Macanese food and sample delicious flavours.

There are several storeys of restaurants and dining outlets, and you can even shop for fresh produce. The food court is renowned for serving affordable and delicious local food; you can have many dishes. It’s fascinating to observe locals dine and order here, though it can get very busy during lunch hour.

The best time to visit the Sao Domingos Market is late morning or lunchtime because the stalls tend to sell out by the evening. Some specialties you can try here include milk puddings, beef noodles, dumplings, stir-fried rice, coffee, and more.

Aside from food, some shops within the building also sell traditional wares, souvenirs, clothes, and other dry goods at low prices. Overall, if you love a great bargain, particularly for high-quality food, this is one of the best places in Macau to visit.

The market is a hop away from popular attractions. One is Senado Square, so you can head over here on foot to burn off all the food you’ve just eaten. It’s almost 4,000 square metres, and there is much to see, do, and try in this UNESCO World Heritage List attraction. Aside from this, you can also visit the Teatro Dom Pedro V, St Augustine’s Square, and the Hong Kung Night Market from here.

Sao Domingos Market is a must-visit in Macau.
