Pou Tai Un

Pou Tai Un on Taipa Island is one of the best-endowed and most picturesque temples in Macao. It was founded in the 19th century by Buddhist monks and the original prayers hall contains images of the three Precious Buddhas.

Since then, both the monastery and temples have been extended and enriched by devotees. There are new pavilions with soaring yellow-tile roofs and an elegant status of Kun Iam on a marble-columned terrace.

The monks live in adjoining building. When not busy with prayers, they tend a large vegetable garden and operate a vegetarian restaurant where some of the produce is prepared.

Whether vegetarian or not, visitors will enjoy this casual verandah cafe, where the freshness of the ingredients is matched by the imaginative preparation and wide range of dishes.

Address: No. 5 – 5B Estrada Lou Lim Ieok, Taipa
Opening hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
