Music Mogul Manny Halley’s Newest Venture Offers An Opulent Macanese Dining Experience
LOS ANGELES, CA (July 2, 2015) House of Macau, the newest restaurant from entrepreneur and music mogul Manny Halley, epitomizes the ultimate ‘East meets West’ vibe with its modern take on classic Macanese fare in a sleek Hollywood setting. Classic Asian traditions and Macanese culture meet 21st century Los Angeles at the new restaurant and lounge. House of Macau represents the first Macanese restaurant in Los Angeles and offers a swanky atmosphere for those looking for the consummate Hollywood experience. The restaurant, which transitions into a late night scene after hours, offers something totally different than the other neighborhood spots. Under the direction of Executive Chef Christoffer Binotto, previously of Japonais by Morimoto and Michelin-Starred restaurant Graham Elliot, House of Macau is poised for success with both the late night crowd and Los Angeles’ culinary elite.
