Inside the gorgeous glass dome of MGM and connected to the casino area, Rossio has an elegant dining area adorned with beautiful glass waterfalls and high ceilings. Guests can choose to dine under the glass dome or inside the main dining area. Tables are spaciously spaced out from each other and comfortable seats enable dinners to leisurely enjoy their meals. There is also an impressive open kitchen which serves as a buffet table so guests can see their food cooked right before their eyes.

Rossio serves an international dinner buffet daily and both a la carte and buffet during dinner lunch and on our visit, we opted for the a la carte option. The house salad made with lettuce, soybeans, red radish, baby corn and croutons with sherry vinaigrette was ordinary in taste with lettuce that is just on the verge of being not fresh enough. Luckily, the signature caldeirada (seafood soup) saved the meal with a generous proportion of sweetly flavourful seafood. The Macanese African chicken, a baked half-chicken with caramelised chilli coconut sauce, is tender with a unique coconut flavour and leaves a lovely lingering spicy aftertaste. The grilled Norwegian salmon fillet is less successful: while the fish was cooked well with a very crispy skin on top, it was aggressively salted. We end the meal with figos recheados (chocolate and almond stuffed figs with vanilla sauce) and Macau’s iconic dessert – serradura. We didn\'t particularly enjoy the figs with the chocolate, nor was it presented the most attractively. The serradura looked a lot more pleasing and the taste is better, yet, it is slightly soggy in texture.

Rossio has quite an extensive wine list that covers a wide variety of champagne, white and red wine and spirits from all around the around, including France, Italy, Australia and the US. It also has a museum collection that features prestigious and rare wines such as the Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1945 and Chateau d’Yquem 1937. Despite its vast collection of wines, it can be quite difficult to find the perfect wine to match with the meal as servers apparently do not have enough wine knowledge to recommend a good wine to go with the meal nor there are any wine notes to assist diners to choose their wines.

As the restaurant is divided into two areas, it is a bit difficult to get the server’s attention, especially when the dining room starts to fill up. Luckily, the servers do try their best to help out with a cheerful smile when they do come to your table.

Lunch for two for the a la carte menu will tally about MOP400 each per person, while the buffet costs MOP188 per person excluding wine. Considering it is a restaurant inside a hotel and its wonderful setting, it is a reasonable price to pay.
