Fernando's has been a favourite family owned local restaurant for years and a visit to Macau is not complete without a lunch of their authentic Portuguese food with a Macanese twist. Doors open at 12noon and the rustic red brick walled and wooden beam roofed venue fills up quickly so it's recommend to arrive early and queue - a walk along the adjacent beach is an added treat if the line isn't too long...The food is honest, hearty, flavoursome and consistent. The Tomato, Onion and Lettuce Salad is made with the freshest ingredients and together with the olive oil dressing is perfect in its simplicity. Grilled Sardines are a must with their salted crispy skins and tasty white meat, paired with boiled potatoes, tomato, onion and green pepper salad. Prawns in Clam Sauce are outstanding with the plentiful garlic infused gravy needing to be soaked up by the freshly baked crusty bread rolls that are served centre table at the start of the meal. Fried Rice with Sausage is solid although not an essential menu item and works as a main in itself or as an accompaniment with other mains - more of a Chinese than Portuguese cuisine. Roast Veal with Chips should have been special but the meat on this occasion was a bit dry although the home cut chips were perfectly cooked and soaked up the delicious gravy well. The chips are so good that they are worth ordering as a side if not included in any of the mains. Egg Pudding (home made crème caramel) is a great conclusion to a fine meal and is heavenly with it's creamy silky texture and sticky sweet caramel syrup. Drinks wise, a jug of sangria and/or a bottle of Portuguese Super Bock beer pair well. Looking forward to my next visit to Macau!
