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 journey.

At the Long Bar at Raffles at Galaxy Macau, a world of intrigue and adventure awaits. Since the first Singapore Sling was mixed at the Long Bar at Raffles Singapore in 1915, the famous lounge has expanded to Raffles Hotels & Resorts around the world while continuing its tradition of delighting guests with exotic cocktails infused with local flavours. The Long Bar at Raffles at Galaxy Macau takes design inspiration from the caves of Macau where gin was originally distilled and the Madre de Deus, a Portuguese treasure ship 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 chiselled cavern, designed by Hong Kong interior design star Joyce Wang.
At this 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 creative gin-based cocktails, flavoured with spices such as pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg that were once transported across the globe by the Madre de Deus. Featuring live vinyl DJ sets, Raffles at Galaxy Macau’s speakeasy Long Bar smoothly blends flavours from the spice trade with modern cocktail culture and global gastronomy for an authentic and spellbinding experience.
Given its location within the world’s leading luxury integrated resort, Galaxy Macau, guests of Raffles at Galaxy Macau have access to more than 1.1 million sqm of one-stop entertainment, shopping, dining, leisure, and lifestyle attractions.
