Dubbed the highest Chinese restaurant in Macau – perched on The Ritz-Carlton Macau’s 51st floor – Lai Heen offers intimacy, exclusivity and personalisation.

The kitchens are helmed by executive Chinese chef Jackie Ho Hon-sing, a 40-year veteran and expert in transforming traditional Cantonese classics.

Chef Ho takes pride in preparing pan-seared superior bird’s nest with crabmeat, deep-fried Chilean sea bass fillet with crispy garlic, stewed prawns with port wine sauce in casserole, and the signature dish of every Cantonese restaurant, char-siu.
