MACAO, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The St. Regis Macao is delighted to announce the reimagining of its signature dining venue, The Manor, with a vibrant new Mediterranean concept on August 1st. This culinary transformation brings a diverse and refined new menu to Macao’s dynamic dining scene helmed by Executive Sous Chef, Michele Dell’Aquila, seamlessly blending the St. Regis legacy of timeless elegance with the bright flavors and convivial culture of the Mediterranean coast.
The new concept celebrates the natural affinity between Mediterranean cuisine and Macao’s own multicultural gastronomic heritage. Both are shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and global influence, resulting in a shared culinary philosophy that honors tradition, embraces diversity, and celebrates honest ingredients.
At The Manor, this dialogue across cultures and continents is brought to life through a meticulously curated menu. Drawing inspiration from the culinary traditions of Spain, Italy, Greece, and the South of France, Chef Michele focuses on premium ingredients and authentic techniques to deliver a full-spectrum Mediterranean dining experience—from vibrant appetizers to hearty mains and elegant desserts.
Signature Dishes Include:
Greek Style Grilled Octopus: A delicate Mediterranean preparation featuring tender grilled octopus served with roasted potatoes, Pequinillo peppers, Kalamata olives, and oregano – a tribute to the balanced, sun-kissed flavors of Greece and Spain.
Piri-Piri Prawn: Inspired by the maritime spice routes of the Portuguese Age of Discovery, this dish blends prawns with garlic, herbs, lemon, and a bold piri-piri chili sauce.
Grilled Spring Chicken: Marinated with rosemary, the chicken is roasted to perfection and served with green salad and heirloom carrots – a harmony of herbaceous brightness and wood-fired depth.
Seafood Risotto: A luxurious saffron-and-tomato-based risotto enriched with prawns, squid, and mussels, offering a layered, savory Mediterranean flavor profile.
The culinary journey continues beyond the plate with a curated selection of Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, designed to evoke the romance and vitality of the region:
Violet Horizon: A visually striking cocktail blending butterfly pea flower, violet liqueur, and Bombay gin, dusted with edible gold for a sunset-glow finish.
Marseille Mistral: A bold, aromatic mix of seaweed-infused whisky, Amaro, citrus, chili, and lemongrass syrup – reminiscent of a stroll through a Provençal spice market.
Executive Sous Chef Michele Dell’Aquila shared, “With the introduction of the new concept, we hope to bring the warmth, heritage, and human connection of the Mediterranean straight to every guest’s table here in Macao.”
Guests can choose from à la carte options or a specially curated tasting menu. Whether for business dining, romantic evenings, or celebratory gatherings, The Manor promises a sophisticated yet soulful experience where timeless ambiance, cultural richness, and culinary artistry converge to create unforgettable moments.
