Living La Vida Healthy: A Guide to Macau’s Best Salad Spots

Macau best salad healthy habits tuna bowl

Salads have a reputation among some as dull, tasteless and “diet food”. This couldn’t be more wrong because salads are becoming more popular and have developed their own taste profile. We’ve selected the best places in Macau, whether vegan, vegetarian or packed with protein!

Healthy Habits

(See featured image above)

This is a minimalist spot serving all things healthy. From tuna bowls, quinoa dishes, açaí fruit bowls, heavy protein plates, teas, fresh fruit juices–their menu is a sight to see. They are a little pricey but it’s worth every cent for their big portions and fresh veggies! They have now extended their schedule and are open until 10:00pm. Great news, Healthy Habits also delivers to the Macau area. The owners speak Chinese, English, and Portuguese, so there’s no need to worry about botching your order! Check their Facebook page for more information, as well as products to shop for your own kitchen.

Opening hours: Daily, 11:00am–10:00pm

Common Table Salad Macau Lifestyle

Common Table 

Their energy salad is a must-have! Big enough to share or to be someone’s main dish, it’s one of Common Table’s signature delights for either lunchtime or a late snack. While some seek trends, the main ingredient here is freshness: with roasted pumpkin slices, beetroot, crunchy quinoa, and lettuce, plus chewy mozzarella bites and thinly sliced radish, this is a perfect dish for summertime! Have it with a soup and one of their artisanal teas on the side and if sharing is your thing, ask the truly scented and tasteful basil spaghetti with vegetables. Check their Facebook page for menu updates and yummy photos!

From olives to tomato, egg to tuna and chicken, their final product is simple, yet superbly tasty. When was the last time you had such a beautiful combination? They also serve coffee, homemade cakes, pizza, quiches, and other items such as organic Portuguese wine, granola from New Zealand, and organic yogurts.

Full of fibre and veggie protein, it is the ideal lunch for a full-on afternoon or an early dinner.

Fresh garden salad

Fernando’s Restaurant

Said to be “the best salad in Macau”, this garden salad is made with the freshest, home-grown vegetables. These are undoubtedly the place where you’ll eat the best tomatoes in town. You’ll have to go all the way to Hac Sa Beach, but the drive is certainly worth it. Seasoned in a very Portuguese style–salt, lots of olive oil, and vinegar–it’s a breath of fresh air when it comes to an unassuming, simple, yet fulfilling dish. When looking for a great piece of garden salad, Fernando is the place to go. Besides this–usually eaten as a side dish–there are other delicious options in this place, which prepare all their grilled signatures on a charcoal grill.

Opening hours: Daily, 12:00pm–9:30pm

The Cheesecake Factory

A platter of healthy might not be what pops on your mind when you dream of The Cheesecake Factory’s menu. However, it should. It’s actually one of the best–and well served–salads we’ve tasted. With kale and quinoa as main ingredients, it can look bitter and tasteless, but this is the case of the more the merrier: these two are combined with grapes, fresh sweet red pepper, crunchy sunflower seeds, parmesan cheese, and their worldly known lemon vinaigrette sauce. This is definitely a must-order when there, even if you’re going for a massive burger or some Mexican goodies. However, be careful with what you wish for: don’t go in there alone or you won’t be able to have all the food. The salad is good to share for three to four people as a starter, two to three as a main dish.
