Our Inspector's Highlights
- No matter the dish, every presentation has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate complementary textures, colors and flavors.
- Each meal at Pearl Dragon begins with an amuse bouche and ends with petit fours — a luxurious and modern touch borrowed from French culinary traditions.
- A tome-like drink menu covers all of the bases, from classic cocktails to Chinese-inspired flavors. If you’re in the mood for wine, a knowledgeable sommelier will help to pair a bottle with your Chinese fare.
- The restaurant has appointed an expert tea sommelier who can point you toward a variety of Chinese selections, including several specialty pu’er teas that have been aged for more than 30 years and have a wonderfully smooth, earthy flavor.
- Whether you opt for water, wine, tea or something stronger, your glass will never run dry thanks to the restaurant’s attentive service.
Things to Know
- Dine on Cantonese delicacies for dinner seven days a week, or stop by around midday for a delightful dim sum lunch.
- The Macau restaurant welcomes diners dressed in smart-casual style. Men should avoid dressing in open shoes and short-sleeved shirts, and for dinner no short pants are accepted, while women should dress for the elegance of the venue.
- Reservations are not required, but definitely recommended at the popular Pearl Dragon. Book your spot by calling directly or by visiting the restaurant’s website.
The Food
- The dim sum menu is both approachable and decadent featuring classic staples such as shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork, crispy turnip puffs and deep-fried taro dumplings.
- The extensive à la carte dinner menu is a delight as well. Highlights include a surprisingly light roasted suckling pig, hot and sour soup, Mongolian lamb chops and fresh seafood, like the wok-fried scallops.
- The Macau restaurant serves plenty of traditional fare but also adds some exotic delicacies for the adventurous diner, including abalone marinated in Chinese wine, deep-fried duck tongue, and jellyfish head with black fungus.
- For dessert, expect traditional Chinese sweet soups, such as almond with dumplings or red bean.
The Design
- Sky-high ceilings, silver accents, a devoted tea-tasting corner and an enormous wine cellar mark the long entrance corridor of Pearl Dragon.
- The enchanting space has several private rooms, semi-private rooms with reflective metal dividers, as well as a main dining area that overlooks the casino’s gaming tables.
- A palette of soft green, beige, brown and abundant silver is a sophisticated departure from traditional Chinese restaurants. You may spot pearl details in every corner, from the elaborate silver napkin rings to the chopsticks holders.
- Large chandeliers and centerpieces add a traditional Chinese touch, while the contemporary furniture and color scheme bring Pearl Dragon into the present. The private rooms have a more classic Chinese feel, sporting antique wooden chairs, colorful cushions and velvet couches.
