Cathedral Cafe Macau — Restaurant in Sé

Authentic Portuguese maritime atmosphere.

Despite being tucked away in a side passage rather than in a main avenue, this spot was easy to find. The moment you enter, you're transported into macau's Portuguese maritime heritage through exceptional decor featuring vintage ship models, historical maps of Macau roads,wine bottles lining wooden shelves, nautical memorabilia, and Portuguese cultural artifacts.

The quiet, intimate setting provided a peaceful eating experience without background music that I can remember, allowing conversation to flow naturally. The staff was attentive and professional.

Ordered two steaks that were perfectly prepared, accompanied by well presented sides with appropriate portions and excellent seasoning.

The standout was the lychee mocktail, exceptionally crafted with fresh authentic flavors that captured the tropical essence.

At HKD 650 for steaks, beverages and additional dishes, the pricing felt fair and justified given the quality of food, unique atmosphere and prime location near major tourist...

Many restaurants outside of the big hotels are closed during the annual Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday. One that isn't is Cathedral Cafe on tiny Run De Se San Malo, just 40 metres or so away from Cathedral (Se), near Senado Square.

This is a good place for cooked 'European' style breakfasts for those seeking a bite to eat away from the hotel. During 2018 CNY, I stopped here and enjoyed a place of chorizo (MOP95) that was a large serving and came with a freshly sliced tomato and hot Portuguese style bun. This was nice sized breakfast and tasted very good. Chorizo was spicy, flavourful but not hot.

Coffee (MOP30) served up here is just ok. There is much nicer coffee available at the coffee specialist shops but what is served here is fine for breakfast.

Note: You can eat breakfast at Cathedral Cafe, then walk less than one minute into the main area of Senado Square where much CNY activity is taking place, including lion and dragon dances. Just note the dates and starting times on the MGTO schedule of...

My wife and I stumbled across this cafe after a long morning of exploring St. Davids Ruins and the surrounding villages. We were greeted by a very pleasant server and given the option to sit at any table, since the restaurant was empty. The server gave us menus, took our order and provided us with the wifi password. After being seated for 15-20 minutes and waiting for our order a man, who we presume was the owner, came outside and aggressively berated us about our empty Starbucks mugs on the table. Although it was a reasonable request to pour our coffees (which at this point had been finished for quite some time) into a Cafe mug we did not see a garbage can at the front door, nor were we offered a mug when initially greeted. The owner continued to make an uncomfortable scene when he yelled at a young dishwasher about taking out the garbage and stood by the main entrance speaking angrily on the phone. Good food,...
