Clube Militar de Macau ♥

Frances and I are so very excited to dine in the historic Military Club in Macau. It was, after all, the private recreation center for the military officers since the 1870s. The restaurant finally opened to the public in 1995, and after almost 2 decades, we come to eat.

My favorite room!

 

 

Sadly though, the food at Clube Militar does not match up to the grand colonial feel of the place.

Everything tastes mediocre.
