In our view, there are two excellent makers of the Portuguese egg tarts in Macau, Margarets Cafe e Nata and Lord Stow's Bakery and Cafe. However, in the end, we have come to prefer the Lord Stow's tart experience more than that of Margarets. The tarts at Lord Stow's (MOP8 each) are nice and creamy and the flakiness of the... More

If you want to try Lord Stow's famous egg tart, the one in the Venetian Hotel is the easiest one to find. Located in the shopping area and near the canals. If you find a good seating you can even see some of the gondola rides while eating your yummy egg tarts. They offer hot and cold drinks, salads, sandwiches,... More

I cannot go past the original Lord Stowe's - the Garden Cafe - every time i'm in Coloane. Nothing beats the flakey texture of the pastry and the creamy egg custard filling. There are plenty of fresh salady items on the menu if you need a veggie meal. On Sunday the special of the day was an English Pork Pie!... More

Three locations within a block of eachother (from south to north): ---Lord Stow's Garden Cafe --- the largest location ... breakfast and lunch entrees, large menu, great, fresh food. Western dishes; portguese dishes. Full service, seats 30 people. We liked our large chocolate croissant that was served perfectly: warm, crispy, and flaky. ---Lord Stow's Bakery --- the broadest variety of... More

Excellent egg tarts and bakery treats (I tried also a delicious cheese croissant). I went for the take away service and stopped to eat them in the Coloane seafront. Sorry that I couldn't taste more food.

No other place can beat Lord Stow's ones!!! It's Nice to have a café and sit on THE terrace, enjoying THE.... Eggtarts... . Off course... More

They have an outlet at Venetian Shopping mall. The egg tart pastry is light and fluffy. The egg fillings is just about right. It is not oily too! Try the angel cake too. Best time to have for tea after all the shopping :)

Well worth a visit of you like egg tarts, but you can also buy the egg tarts from the Lord Stow's shop inside The Venetian if you don't make it out to Coloane.

Based on positive reviews, visited this restuarant with a business colleague during my recent trip to Macau. Cab dropped us off at the Bakery, and took as a few minutes to find the Cafe (around the corner to the left of the Bakery). Cool little Cafe. Soup of the day (Veggie) was excellent. We both ordered the Thai Chicken Curry... More

Luckily I got a seat after 30minutes. I ordered the Tong Yum Kung (Thai style seafood hot and sour soup), Capella (Portugese pork... More
