The World's First Speakeasy Long Bar
At the Long Bar at Raffles at Galaxy Macau, a world of intrigue and adventure awaits. Since the first Singapore Sling was mixed at Long Bar at Raffles Singapore in 1915, the famous lounge has expanded around the world while continuing its tradition of delighting guests with exotic cocktails infused with local flavors. Long Bar at Raffles at Galaxy Macau takes inspiration from the Madre de Deus, a Portuguese carrack that brought precious spices to Macau in the 1500s. Echoing the subterranean coastal caves once teeming with sailors and sunken treasures, the Long Bar is hidden from view in true speakeasy style. Guests enter through a nautical porthole door, where they encounter a chiseled cavern, designed by Hong Kong interior design star Joyce Wang. A secret rendezvous for modern-day explorers and connoisseurs of fine libations.
Award-winning mixologist Antonio Lai, a Hong Kong native, pays homage to the early days of gin making, when stills were stored in caves. Lai masterfully crafts vintage gin-based cocktails, flavoring with spices that were once transported by the Madre de Deus as she crossed the globe. Traditional seasonings such as pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg find new life in creative concoctions. Featuring live vinyl DJ sets, Raffles at Galaxy Macau's speakeasy Long Bar smoothly blends the flavors from the spice trade with modern cocktail culture and global gastronomy for an authentic and spellbinding experience.
Star-studded Culinary Journeys
Reinforcing Galaxy Macau as the city's leading destination for dining concepts of distinction, Raffles at Galaxy Macau showcases a stellar lineup of talents. Unveiling the first international restaurant of three-Michelin starred Japanese sushi master, Masaaki Miyakawa, "Sushi Kissho By Miyakawa." Sushi Kissho's elite team of chefs, with a combined 98 years of experience in renowned establishments under Miyakawa, select the freshest pristine seasonal ingredients sourced directly from Japan's finest legacy growers and generational fisherman, to serve an exquisite and authentic Omakase experience. Connoisseurs can savor Sushi Kissho by Miyakawa's ethos of wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic philosophy that cherishes the beauty found in simplicity and imperfection. The restaurant's thoughtfully designed interiors reflect this principle, creating a serene and harmonious atmosphere that resonates with the soul of traditional Japanese culture. Here, the meticulous artistry of Miyakawa and his team create a deep connection between the diner and the culinary experience.
Alongside it, sits Japanese teppanyaki specialist, "Teppanyaki Shou." Artfully serving Japanese teppanyaki made from the finest ingredients, sourced from Japan's tightly-held farmers and family fisheries, as well as international growers and sources of distinction, Teppanyaki Shou offers an authentic and dazzling Japanese culinary experience. Set in a welcoming space set around counters of solid rock and filled with curated works of art, the restaurant is led by an expert team of Japan's leading teppan grill chefs with decades of experience. With each deft flick of the wrist, guests are invited to embark on a multi-sensory culinary journey that takes lively, interactive dining to bold new heights.
