Head upstairs to dine in the food court but be sure to come with an appetite because of the sheer variety of food offered here. Fish in a pot, fried rice, noodles, and much more await you. Consider it an off-the-beaten-path dining experience because it may not be filled with tourists, but it’s certainly popular with the locals, and that’s always a good thing – especially when it comes to food! The prices are also reasonable, so it’s welcoming to budget travellers.

The St Lawerence Market is also close to other must-visit eateries, which are only a stone’s throw away. These include the Portuguese Bakery, where you can sample the iconic egg tarts.

After eating, you can explore Barra on foot; this district of Macau is rich in history as it’s one of the oldest areas in the country. There are many food and recreational options to discover, and it has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Come in comfortable walking shoes to check out the quaint alleys, and you might discover some unique gems.

The famous A-Ma Temple, built in the 15th century, is also found here. From the temple, visitors can get a glimpse of the Pearl River Delta and learn a little more about history. The Maritime Museum is another famous attraction here, and it’s a great place to learn about history with its interactive displays.

If you still have space for more food, try out any famous restaurants nearby: Casa do Porco Preto, A Lorcha, and Restaurante Litoral.
