Oh Manuel Restaurant Taipa Island


Eating at O’Manuels was probably the best overall meal I’ve ever had.


Tucked away in Taipa Island Village on a cobblestone street, this immensely popular restaurant is a local and tourist favorite. When we were dining, a former employee of the Macau Government Tourist Bureau was there. A Food and Beverage manager at the Wynn Macau and a chef at the Wynn’s Italian restaurant were there. In fact, the manager along with several friends including an Asian League hockey player arrived at the restaurant and was turned away because there was no room. They came back and were almost turned away because they were about to close but the Wynn employee said he knew what he wanted and persuaded Manuel to let them in.




That’s an endorsement! The Wynn chef said that Manuel’s sauces were simple yet multi-layered and that keeps him coming back on a weekly basis.
We ate the most amazing clams in sauce. Knowing my gluten-intolerance, my guests couldn’t help but dip their bread in the sauce—it’s a Macau tradition.
