Tucked away discreetly within MGM Macau, Imperial Court offers a tranquil escape from the rest of the integrated resort’s vibrant energy. This seclusion allows diners to fully savour the artistry of a culinary team seeking to reinvent the dining traditions of ancient Chinese emperors for guests today. The focus here is Lingnan cuisine, a culinary tradition that began its development in the ancient Tang dynasty and takes in a broad geographic sweep that includes Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau. Signatures on the hefty, 25-page menu include crispy roast free-range chicken with organic flaxseeds, and wok-fried French blue lobster with minced pork, scrambled egg, black beans and garlic.
