The Employees Only crowd have joined forces with David Waltuck (chef/owner of Chanterelle and 2007 James Beard Award winner) to open Tribeca's Macao Trading Co., a big funky restaurant packed with antiques to evoke "the 1940s portside feel of Macao’s red lantern district." The space is bi-level and the menu's bi too, with Macao's history as a Portuguese colony reflected in both Chinese and Portuguese versions of ribs, bass tripe. Meals are served family-style in the 82-seat dining room and bar; other dishes include African fried chicken ($18), Portuguese Style Grilled Prawns with vinho verde & garlic butter ($28), and Chinese Style grilled sirloin with oyster sauce & Chinese broccoli ($32).
In keeping with the theme, the classic cocktail list emphasizes spirits, spices and fruits from the Macao’s cultural influences, including Southeast Asia and Portugal. There's homemade, seasonal sangaree punch; and the wine list includes various bottles of Portuguese wines including Vinho Verde, along with several ports and Madeira. Peruse the appealing cocktail menu after the jump.
Macao Trading Co. // 311 Church Street (near Walker) // (212) 431-8750 // Open nightly from 5 p.m. - 4 a.m., with dinner served until midnight.
