Saffron

Surprising flavors and impeccable service. As frequent travellers to Thailand, we often find Thai food outside the kingdom to be generic and uninspired. However, our experience at Saffron was anything but ordinary. This restaurant has managed to elevate Thai cuisine with delightful surprises and creative twists, reaching a level that is difficult to find even in Thailand itself. Our evening began with the men opting for the wine pairing, while the ladies enjoyed the mocktail pairing. The oyster and caviar starter set an exceptionally high standard for the night, and the dishes only continued to impress. The tender lobster pad Thai and the exquisite grilled Alaska King crab were standout highlights, and after indulging in several other wonderful dishes, we all felt we couldn't eat another bite. Yet, the dessert—a remarkable egg custard pumpkin—was so incredible that it left us all in awe. The wine pairings were expertly chosen, and I was pleasantly surprised by a nicely balanced red that complemented the Thai flavors perfectly. The ladies couldn't stop raving about their non-alcoholic drinks, which were equally delightful. By the end of the meal, we were all full to the brim and thoroughly satisfied. The quality of the food, the unexpected culinary surprises, the excellent service, and the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant all contributed to an unforgettable dining experience. Considering the high standard of the entire evening, I found the price to be extremely reasonable. I wholeheartedly recommend Saffron to all my friends planning a trip to Macau!

On May 16, 2023, my wife and I had a Thai breakfast here at Level 31. Everything was brilliant and enjoyable, until I got a cue from a waitress. I checked the time, it was 11:02, and so we left without further delay.

This place is one of the best restaurants I have been to. I have visited several times. The service is perfect. The waiters make the guests feel comfortable, listen to them and prepare the food based on request. The friendly and polite acting of waiters doesn’t feel forced and fake compared to some restaurants. The food quality is very good and the taste is amazing. The restaurant interior is beautiful and clean. The atmosphere in this restaurant is very special. Prices are higher than usual restaurant, but considering the high level service and very good food, you get what you pay for. I would even say you get more than you pay for. Recommend to try the lunch menu.

Now, the restaurant located at 31st floor of Banyan Tree hotel Macau, inside Galaxy macau. The taste of food was great. Service is exceptional. Recommend 👍🏻

I was just trying to have some Thai food in the Galaxy before watching a movie, unfortunately the food portions were small and not as good as expected, quite expensive for what you get! The service and the place is very nice BTW!

All the dishes were decent (had the grilled squid, beef curry w naan, and soft shell crab papaya salad. Portions smaller sized for the value but expected being a restaurant within Galaxy Macau. Cocktails weren’t as well prepared (Long Island iced tea). There was only one other table of guests during our dinner so it was really empty. I would come again for the food to get a Thai fix, the ingredients (particularly vegetables) are fresh like the beans, papaya, tomatoes.

I don’t understand why this place doesn’t have 5-star reviews only. And this is coming from someone with high standards! The new location is just gorgeous with amazing views. 🤩 The environment is so nice. 🥰 And food is just great! 😋
