Macao Trading Co. Restaurant Review

Soft lights that are barely visible through lofty grated-metal doors offer the only sign that something abounds beyond Macao Trading Co.’s un-marked entrance. Inside, a diverse urban crowd trades in trendy TriBeCa for a nineteenth-century atmosphere that evokes the cultural contrasts of Macao. At the fully-stocked bar dominating the front of the eatery, a tarnished mirrored backsplash reflects...

Channeling a "1940s" "Macao gambling parlor", this "dazzling", bi-level TriBeCan offers plentiful "eye candy" to go with its Chinese-Portuguese chow; late-night, it turns "club"-like – "loud and crowded" with uneven service – but most are having too much "fun" to care.

Opened by the Employees Only mixologists and a team of veteran restaurateurs, this hot spot on the western fringe of Chinatown trades in exotic ambiance, Macanese small plates and--of course--world-class cocktails. A museum-worthy…

Raise the red lantern: this Tribeca gem features high ceilings and stylish post-colonial fixtures in a discrete Church Street location, reflecting a side-street adventure one might have experienced in old Macao. Led by David Waltuck, chef/owner of the defunct but well-loved Chanterelle along with the folks behind Employees Only, you'll find intriguing Macanese specialties such as African...

Call it what you like—we prefer "Asian-fusion-whatever"—but Macao's prospects aren't a gamble. From epicurean dream team behind Employees Only comes this new, wood-lined, vaguely Asian-themed space. Big, beautiful room with mouth-wateringly beautiful bar and a lounge downstairs—nice spot to lay waste to your liver. Emphasis here, though, is on the menu, which there ain't nothin' vague about:...

Creative cuisine, creative decor, and I actually liked the band! My husband and I stumbled into Macao Trading Company on a dark and stormy night in January. Once I shed my dripping coat and wiped the mist from my lenses I looked around and discovered that I was in Macao, circa 1930 -- except for the rather more modern hair colors and tattoos on the mostly young and mostly stylish diners and...

This place has an exotic atmosphere. It's good for a group sharing several items. A bit pricey. A bit noisy. Service spotty. Seating only fair - they jammed 3 into a 2-table.

We continually come back to Macao for the absolutely amazing food - its menu is unique and not pretentious. The cocktails are handcrafted and diverse. Service is quick and direct. Still one of our favorite spots in the city.

An evocative blend of Chinese and Portuguese cuisines.

A non-descript entrance yields to a lively bar and dining scene at this Tribeca hot-spot. In line with its Asian theme, this two-level restaurant cum bar is creatively adorned with several Chinese knick knacks like old tiffin carriers, porcelain jars, dolls, postcards and faux gas lamps. The pulsating bar at the Macao Trading company serves a wide range of Asian and Portuguese liquors as well...
