Le Buffet restaurant at The Parisian Macao has won an award for its interior design.

It took the title of best Macau casual-dining restaurant at the Hong Kong Restaurant Interior Design Awards 2017(HKRIDA).

The awards were part of the fine-dining and bar exhibition Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong, with a judging panel comprising hospitality designers, F&B managers and specialist trade media. Chef de cuisine Guillaume Gully accepted the award on behalf of The Parisian Macao.

Designed by San Francisco-based Puccini Group, Le Buffet is a 450-seat buffet restaurant that features Art Deco detailing with an upscale French market/food-hall vibe. It has a front dining area with a Parisian cafe ambiance that has views into the main dining and buffet room with its buffet stations and live cooking areas. A design feature is an intricate 5m atrium that offers a sense of natural light.

The Parisian Macao is Sands Resorts Macao’s newest property, which opened 12 months ago. It features a half-size replica of the Eiffel Tower at the hotel’s entrance.
