Eat Local, Taste The World At The 26th Macau Food Festival

Come hungry to the annual Macau Food Festival, AKA the city’s biggest foodie party of the year.

Taking over Sai Van Lake Square right beside Macau Tower from Friday, 20 November to Sunday, 6 December 2026, the Macau Food Festival is a 17-day feast that celebrates the city’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, and it promises to be bigger and tastier than ever, with around 150 local eateries all gathered in one open-air venue. Expect live entertainment, interactive game booths and waterfront seating, so it’s just as fun for families as it is for foodies.

Entry is free and you simply pay per dish, so you can graze your way through themed food streets from Chinese and European to Japanese and Korean, before finishing off on Dessert Street. Most vendors are independent, family-run eateries and home-grown local brands, which means every bite tastes like the real Macao.

Looking for something vegetarian? This modern café-style kitchen uses plant-based Omni Pork and Impossible Meat to create dishes that are creative, healthy and satisfying.

Mori (Stall 147, H8)

Maca0’s first hand-whisked Uji matcha and gelato shop celebrates the craftsmanship of Uji tea, which has a subtly bitter flavour that transforms into a sweet aftertaste and long-lasting finish. Cool down with a velvety matcha drink or a scoop of gelato to end your evening on a high.
