From the founders of Employees Only, we welcome you to Macao Trading Company.

Please Join Us...Our task, which we take great pleasure in, is to transport you...leave your inhibitions at the door.

Macao Trading Co. takes its inspiration from the brothels and opium dens of old 1930's Macao...an exotic time-out-of-time place...mysterious, adventurous, decadent.

Whether an intimate dinner, large party, or late night dining, take advantage of our signature Eurasian cuisine: a sumptuous blend of Chinese and Portuguese influences.

Located on Church St, at the edge of Tribeca, Macao’s décor is a dramatic composition of lighting, relics, and industrial iron work. The high ceilings and tucked away location provide a fit setting for the restaurant’s 1940's portside warehouse feel, recalling the adventure of Macao’s "red lantern district."

"Macao, a fugitive's haven from which there's no turning back..."
- Macao, 1952

Food isn’t what it used to be. Ribs were very hard and not tender at all. Fried rice was ok. I use to love this place for good music, food and vibe. Unfortunately, isn’t what it used to be.

The surroundings look like a scene pulled out of an Indiana Jones movie. The food is "Instagram" worthy and tastes even better. The service is top-notch.
