The long-awaited opening of Raffles at Galaxy Macau has finally arrived, allowing both locals and visitors to the 'Las Vegas of the East' to experience the brand’s renowned hospitality and exceptional offerings. Situated on the east promenade of the resort complex, Raffles at Galaxy Macau boasts magnificent architecture that provides breathtaking views of Macau’s picturesque landscape.

Taking centre stage in the hotel's lobby is the spectacular Raffles Lounge & Terrace. The venue transports you back in time to an opulent European lounge designed with Italian marble pillars and featuring a Champagne, caviar, and oyster bar. Dine and savour refined European cuisine, expertly crafted by award-winning chefs, amidst a luxurious decor beneath an astonishing custom-made chandelier. This exquisite chandelier is a masterpiece formed from 500,000 crystals and 23,000 crystal rods, both of which are of the highest quality. The crystals and rods are seamlessly connected, creating a breathtaking diamond-like formation.

Helmed by Chef de Cuisine Yorick Soh, the lounge and terrace offer an all-day dining menu showcasing creative European dishes. One of their signature items is the French blue lobster salad served with refreshing Japanese watermelon and garden greens. Other culinary creations include chef's Pâté en Croûte, a traditional golden-brown French meat pie filled with marinated duck and pork infused with truffle jelly. Additionally, they serve grilled Australian Wagyu beef, which is accompanied by a secret sauce that has been slow-cooked for 48 hours.

Raffles is renowned for its rich European tradition, so anticipate a truly indulgent afternoon tea experience (from MOP588 for two persons) available from 3pm to 5.30pm. Delight in exquisite offerings crafted by award-winning pastry chefs Yam Lok-hin and Jacky Lung – rising stars in international pastry championships. As you sit back and enjoy, prepare to be captivated by a selection of desserts, including mouth-watering éclairs available in a variety of tempting flavours.

For those with a taste for savoury pleasures, Raffles has prepared an enticing selection. Treat yourself to a delectable crab meat with Champagne jelly on squid ink toast, or opt for the flavourful beef bourguignon pithivier. Of course, no afternoon tea would be complete without freshly-baked scones. At Raffles, these scones are served alongside homemade tapenade, sweet preserves, and clotted cream, ensuring that every bite is a moment of pure indulgence. To complement your afternoon tea experience, Raffles offers an extensive selection of premium teas and coffees, or a pairing with Fortnum & Mason sparkling tea. Take your time to explore and choose the perfect accompaniment to enhance your afternoon tea experience.

During sunset, guests can enjoy a lovely atmosphere, complete with piano music playing in the background. Sip Champagne and indulge in servings of oysters, and don't forget to order a glass of their iconic Singapore Sling, a heritage creation by Raffles bartender Ngiam Tong Boon in 1915.
