Following the First International Chef Series is one of Macau’s most star-studded dining events in its history – the prestigious Michelin Gala Dinner at the Studio City Grand Ballroom on November 11, two days after the announcement of the Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2017. This unprecedented gala will attract some of the world’s most celebrated chefs toMacau, namely Alvin Leung, Hideaki Matsuo, Björn Frantzén and Pierre Hermé, who are set to team up with Melco Crown Entertainment’s very own stellar chefs Guillaume Galliot and Tam Kwok Fung, and also Shinji Kanesaka from Tokyo’s one-Michelin-starred Sushi Kanesaka, to put together a never-been-seen-before wine-pairing menu to celebrate the release of the 2017 Guide.


Then around early December, The Tasting Room, tapped once again as the event venue, will house the Second International Chef Series featuring Chef Curtis Duffy of Chicago’s Grace Restaurant, a two-time winner of three Michelin stars, who will be making his Macau debut.
