Hilton Beijing Wangfujing opens Macanese Restaurant

The Hilton Beijing Wangfujing has opened Vasco’s, one of the few fine dining Macanese restaurants in Beijing. Vasco’s offers guests a relaxing respite for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with stunning views over Beijing. The 140 seat coastal-inspired setting of “Old Macau” includes a visually exciting show kitchen for breakfast where aspiring gourmands can follow the preparation of their meal.

The menu designed by Chef de Cuisine Ricardo Bizarro offers a delectable pastiche of global cuisine combining the exotic cultures of Portugal, China and India to create Macanese cuisine. The menu is varied with a strong focus on local and seasonal produce. The dishes are light, healthy and bursting with succulent flavor and created to be shared.

The menu begins with an assortment of seafood inspired creations including roasted home made Portuguese sausage served with “Peixinhos da Horta”; marinated octopus on a bed of chickpeas, tomato and fresh parsley salad with codfish cakes; “Caldo Verde”, Vegetable soup with Portuguese sausage, “duck gratin” served with brown rice, Portuguese sausage and cheese or charcoal grilled African spiced organic chicken served with truffled potato mash. The daily selection features fresh seafood prepared to your liking; the chef recommends either red snapper baked “Portuguese Style” with fresh parsley, served with potato, onion, garlic and mesclun greens or live “Mud crab” with home made curry sauce.

For those with a sweet tooth, there are plenty of delectable treats to satisfy the senses. A stellar dessert selection includes the traditional Macanese “Pasteis de Nata” egg tarts, served with a shot of milk tea, “Serradura” ice cream condensed milk flavour ice cream with cookie crumble “Brisas do Lis” almond tarts accompanied by ginger ice and cinnamon cream or decadent coconut panna cotta with seared mangos, served with fresh guava sorbet and home-made taro chips.

Blue plate studios, the specialized food and beverage division of internationally acclaimed interior design firm Wilson Associates, is responsible for the conceptual design and development of the restaurants & lounges of Hilton Beijing Wangfujing.

Vasco’s is open daily from 06:30 am to 10:30 am for breakfast, 11:30 am to 02:30 pm for lunch and 6pm to 11pm for dinner.
