Rank 1. Mesa by José Avillez
Contemporary Portuguese
A starry LED ceiling that shifts from afternoon gold to midnight blue sets the tone for this fine-dining room inside The Karl Lagerfeld Macao. José Avillez brings contemporary Portuguese cooking to Macau, and the kitchen leans into the drama: think crispy suckling pig and a dessert built around cured ham ice cream and bone marrow caramel. It holds a Forbes Five Star.
