Evergreens on the table in Macao

Macanese staples and international fare in a garden setting has made Cafe Panorama a favorite with locals for the past generation.

The cafe is the Westin Resort Macau's all-day dining restaurant and has been a preferred choice since the hotel opened nearly two decades ago. Set into the southwestern slopes of green Coloane on Hac Sa Beach, it is a welcome retreat far away from the bright casino lights and bustle of urban Macao.

Cafe Panorama was known for its home-style Macanese specialties that introduced international diners to dishes, such as African chicken and bacalhau. Yet after the opening of glitzy resorts on Cotai Strip, Cafe Panorama stepped back from the limelight as increasingly more restaurants vied for foodies' attention.
