African chicken is a probably the most famous Macanese dish and something well worth trying during trips to Macau. When I'm in the mood, Henri's is the first place that comes to mind, hence why we have continued to dine here over the years.
A recent visit rewarded us with another very good serving. The chicken wasn't as plump as it has been in the past and the sauce tasted a degree or two less sophisticated than it normally has. Yet still, it was a delicious dish and we finished our meal satisfied.
Equally worth note however, on this occasion, we didn't care as much for the Pastéis de Bacalhau (cod cakes) as we have in the past. The cakes where prepared well but tasted too salty and the cod flakes were very dry. We'll probably take a pass on this starter next time we return.
Note: Henri's Galley is somewhat isolated from the main Historic City Centre area, being located on along Ave. de Republica along the shore of Sai Van Lake, facing the Macau Towers. They are open from around 12pm until 10pm daily. We've usually been able to walk-in for lunches here even on busy holiday weekends. However, best to call ahead for reservations if you plan to dine at peak dinner times.
Simply delicious
Foods are awesome
Good variety of food
Delicious, worth to try if visit Macau.
Good restaurant with many local dishes
The giant spicy prawns are amazing
This is a cute little restaurant among the sea, opened in 1976. We had the huge spicy prawn and their signature African Chicken and both were truly delicious. Couldn't decide which was better. Worth a trip to Macau just to dine here.
