MACAU SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 May 2026 - With the acclaimed return of French GourMay Food & Wine Festival 2026, Galaxy Macau welcomes May as a radiant month of celebration, led by the enduring elegance of French culinary artistry. Bringing together masterful craftsmanship and flavours from around the world, the luxury resort curates a global gastronomic journey that pays heartfelt tribute to diverse culinary traditions and dining cultures.

The Elegance of French Dining at Galaxy Macau in May

The annual French GourMay Food & Wine Festival returns to Galaxy Macau in its 17^th edition, ushering in the most authentic and creative French culinary showcase.

Meticulously prepared by the culinary team at Raffles at Galaxy Macau, M7 Wagyu Beef Pithivier is an indulgent tribute to classic French gastronomy. Lusciously marbled M7 Wagyu is encased in hand‑crafted, all‑butter puff pastry. Paired with slow‑sautéed mushrooms and aromatic herbs, it delivers depth, richness and refined opulence. Designed for sharing, each Pithivier is priced at MOP658, with a curated selection of French wines available for optional pairing at additional prices, served at Raffles Lounge and Terrace throughout May.

Evoking the romance of the French Alps, The Ritz‑Carlton Café presents a four‑course culinary journey inspired by the soulful flavours of Savoie, where mountain terroir meets classic French technique. The menu showcases the region's celebrated cheeses, from Beef Tartare enriched with Reblochon and caviar to Quenelle à la Savoyarde featuring Brittany lobster, sea bass and black truffle. Available for dinner, the experience is priced at MOP488 per person, with an optional Savoie wine pairing offered at MOP388 for two glasses.

Anchoring French GourMay at The Apron Oyster Bar & Grill are two dishes that celebrate the hearty, comforting spirit of Savoie. The Baked Lobster with Raclette de Savoie (MOP598) elevates indulgent seafood with molten alpine cheese, delivering richness and depth in every bite. Complementing it is Diots de Savoie with Tartiflette (MOP288), a rustic composition of sausages, potatoes and cheese that offers an authentic expression of regional tradition — generous, warming and deeply satisfying.

At CHA BEI, award-winning pastry maestro Lok Hin Yam brings French pâtisserie into sharp focus with Madagascar Vanilla & Sea Salt Caramel Mille-Feuille, served with vanilla ice cream (MOP120). Crisp, feather-light pastry layers encase fragrant vanilla cream and luscious caramel, achieving a refined balance of texture and sweetness. Meticulously crafted and elegantly restrained, the dessert offers a polished finale to the French GourMay experience, celebrating precision, craftsmanship and timeless indulgence.
