Two internationally-renowned culinary masters will
be opening their restaurants at Studio City later in 2016.
With his restaurants awarded a combined total of 19
Michelin stars, Chef Alain Ducasse is one of the world’s most
celebrated chefs. His new Macau restaurant at Studio City is
designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon.
“I aim to deliver my own personal interpretation of
a contemporary French cuisine - refined and elegant, using the best
fish and shellfish as a base, explained Chef Ducasse. “The
restaurant will reflect my philosophy of offering culinary
pleasures and the arts of hospitality in order to satisfy the
desires of Macau’s varied international customers, whilst providing
light and bright dishes for everyday diners.”
Chef Alan Wong opens his ‘Alan Wong’ restaurant in
Macau, bringing Hawaii regional cuisine to the territory for the
first time, with a style that borrows from all the ethnic
influences in Hawaii.
“I am excited to learn more about Macau and its
Portuguese influences,” said Chef Wong. “I am looking forward to
discovering local tastes and flavors and hopefully give guests my
own interpretation of local dishes, as well as the classic
favorites that the people of Hawaii love.”
Studio City offers a stellar range of signature
restaurants, themed food courts and entertainment-inspired eateries
to appeal to every discerning palate.

gourmets and those who appreciate the very best in fine dining
