Cantonese fine dining restaurant Jade Dragon at City of Dreams has been named among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2018 – the only Macau restaurant to make the list.
The list of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2018 was unveiled at a gala event at Wynn Palace on Tuesday night, with around 600 guests witnessing the results announcement of the 50 most influential restaurants in Asia. It was the first time Macau has hosted the awards ceremony and the second year in a row that Jade Dragon has made the list.
Known for serving up exquisitely presented Cantonese specialties crafted from the best organic and farm-fresh ingredients by a talented culinary team headed by veteran chef Tam Kwok Fung, Jade Dragon has also been widely lauded for its stunning decor and superlative service. Having also earned two Michelin stars for the past three years and a Forbes Five-Star rating five years in a row, this latest recognition means that Jade Dragon retains a rare trio of prestigious accolades and scores a unique achievement for a homegrown Macau restaurant brand.
“From the start, our mission at Jade Dragon has been to create one-of-a-kind experiences that can’t be found anywhere else in the world, experiences that will continue to raise the fine-dining bar in Macau to ever-greater heights. Today, we are truly honored to see another milestone when it was recognized as the premier dining destination in Macau as the city’s only entry in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants,” said Jarlath Lynch, Senior Vice President of Hotels and Food & Beverage at Melco Resorts.
“It is particularly meaningful to be given this award in 2018 following Macau’s designation as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. Through Jade Dragon, as well as through our other award-winning restaurants, we will continue to help drive the ongoing transformation of the city into the top gastronomic destination in the region.”
