We had lunch at Robuchon a Galera in the Hotel Lisboa, Macau.The food was outrageously good and the value for money at lunch is unbeatable.

The food was outrageously good and the value for money at lunch is unbeatable. The presence of gold leaf on almost everything was pointless but didn't detract from the meal.
I loved that the wine list comes either as a massive leather bound 300+ page tome or on a somewhat more modern iPad with searchable pdfs for each region.
Loved the numerous trolleys with selections of bread, butter and dessert.
Wine and food service was perfect, couldn't have asked for any more. Overall it totally lived up to its reputation.
Food:
White asparagus panna cotta with tomato coulis - Vibrant and delicate. This was a perfect start.
Tuna belly on heart of romaine with crunchy vegetable medley and “tonnato” sauce - Beautifully presented. Lovely seared tuna belly. The tonnato sauce had a real punch to it.
Crabmeat in tomatoes broth perfume with fresh herbs and waffle toast - An out of this world level of good. Intense, concentrated tomato flavour in the broth, the crabmeat had delightful pockets of roe as a surprise throughout. The shiso leaves on top were interesting with their sweet&spicy notes and gave some extra depth to the dish. The waffle toast was just delicious.
Scallop, squid and shrimp with saffroned fregolas and basil emulsion - Scallop was perfect. The squid was stuffed with chorizo and was wonderfully good. I haven't had fregola before but it was interesting and paired well with the other elements. The basil flavour in the emulsion was very mild thankfully.
Braised “Wagyu” beef cheek pepper aromatic and creamy polenta with parmesan- The beef was incredibly tender and the sauce was nicely rich. The polenta on the side was tasty as well. This dish probably had the least wow factor, but was still very good.
