A total of seven restaurants at SJM received culinary honours from “The Best of the Best Masterchef” (BOBM) recommendation restaurant awards organised by the Asia Art of Cuisine Society (AOC).
Four renowned restaurants at Grand Lisboa Hotel and three new dining destinations at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau – received recognition from the annual awards event in Hong Kong. At Grand Lisboa, Robuchon au Dôme and The 8 are both listed among the Top 10 for the second consecutive year, while The Kitchen and Casa Don Alfonso received the BOBM accolades once again. At Grand Lisboa Palace, Palace Garden, Mesa by José Avillez, and Zuicho received awards for the first time, honoured for their exceptional dining experiences.
Two SJM restaurants at Grand Lisboa – Robuchon au Dôme, the pinnacle of French fine-dining in Macau and The 8, the Chinese fine-dining gem of SJM – rank on the Top 10 list, garnering the highest honours from BOBM for a second year in a row. Two additional Grand Lisboa restaurants – The Kitchen, renowned for its premium steaks and seafood, as well as Casa Don Alfonso, celebrated for its authentic Italian cuisine – have also earned BOBM recognition this year.
Making their debut on the BOBM awards list in 2024 are three destination restaurants at Grand Lisboa Palace – Palace Garden, Mesa by José Avillez, and Zuicho. Palace Garden, which is honoured as a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Restaurant, presents haute Cantonese cuisine in an opulent setting which celebrates the splendour of an imperial garden.
Mesa by José Avillez crafts contemporary Portuguese flavours that showcase tradition, quality, authenticity, and farm-to-table philosophy of dining. Centred around refined “kappo” cuisine that emphasises the connection between diner and chef, Zuicho invites guests to indulge in an immersive and interactive journey through Japan’s culinary traditions.
BOBM is an annual restaurant awards event first introduced by the Asia Art of Cuisine Society (AOC) in 2012. The AOC created BOBM to serve as an interactive platform for an elite gathering of gastronomy professionals to meet and exchange ideas. The awards provide a guide for diners to identify the best dining destinations, also inspire the culinary industry to consistently create exceptional dining experiences and improve standards of service.
