While many opt to open in Taipa or Coloane, Nelson Rocha – the owner and founder of Mariazinha – believes the city needed an authentic Portuguese restaurant in the heart of old Macau. That’s why Mariazinha is located nearby the most famous landmark of Macau – the Ruins of St Paul’s. The name Mariazinha is derived from Rocha’s mother’s name, Maria, who was often teased by her sibling for being “zinha,” meaning small. Upon entering, you will immediately notice the distinctly Portuguese décor and of course the extensive display of authentic Portuguese wine. Matched with classic music playing in the background and warm lighting, it is the perfect place for either a romantic dinner or a special family gathering over some quality Portuguese food. Both of Rocha’s parents are chefs with over 80 years of experience in Portuguese cuisine combined, so it should come as no surprise that this is also his legacy. Established in 2015, Mariazinha offers consistency in every dish with Rocha ensuring his food pays homage to his heritage. The restaurant has built its reputation around Rocha’s beef croquets, his Leitao a Bairrada – grilled steak with roast skin potatoes cooked northern Portugal style – and Francesinha which is a sandwich with steak, ham and sausage covered in melted cheese and drizzled with a secret sauce.
