UTM Educational Restaurant — Restaurant in Nossa Senhora de Fátima

Price:$$

Pro: top of the hill, relatively quiet, spacious, traditional fine dining food

Con: limited parking, relatively hard to book

This student restaurant is situated at the top of the hill and next to the educational catering school. The décor were modern and each table are well spaced out. My first postive impression was the freshly baked bread that come with the table. It is rare in Macau to find this traditional and delicious western style bread. My gf and I ordered the lunch time set menu (as it is shown in the picture). All courses are nicely decorated and appeasing to the eyes. However, I find the mushroom tart a bit dull and required a bit of acidity to brighten it up. The main course were excellent, however the monkfish is at the boarder of overcooked. Finally, the mille Fleur dessert was heaven in the mouth, but it took quite a bit of battle and a mess to break up the pastry (it is too hard and the cream squeeze out everywhere). My gf enjoyed lemon dessert. The acidity of the lemon is really sharp (overpowering) and the sweetness of the cream comes after the initial acidic bomb. But still, I think those who like sour will enjoy this dessert a lot more than I did.

Overall, definitely will go there again and recommend anyone who wants an inexpensive fine...

At one point my starter was taken away momentarily as the student had placed it on the table with both hands, and was instructed to do it again more elegantly with just one. There was another student whose sole job seemed to be to learn how to pour water elegantly at the table. To start with she wobbled all over the place, but by the third attempt was beginning to get the hang of it. The students were all lovely and clearly trying to do their best. The food was excellent and the set lunch was good value. There is no service charge and the bill asks...

This small, reasonably priced restaurant is located inside the IFT University-- and is open to the public!!
