Dining
The Yeatman Gastronomic R.
Everyone knows that the city of Porto has a timeless, almost magical charm; what not everyone knows is that one of the best places to take it all in is on the riverside in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the opposite bank of the Douro. Housed in the luxurious Yeatman hotel and its namesake restaurant, Chef Ricardo Costa presents a creative offering that, via a single, ever-evolving tasting menu (kicking off with appetisers in both the bar area and the kitchen), rests on two pillars: the exaltation of traditional Portuguese gastronomy (the 2021 suckling pig dish stands out) and the use of top-quality sea

Set in a historic building but featuring a renovated contemporary interior, this welcoming restaurant stands out as a splendid option for a meal in the city centre, being just a few metres from the 19th-century Mercado Ferreira Borges.Award-winning chef Rui Paula (Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, in nearby Leça da Palmeira) has revamped this establishment’s concept in a more gastronomic direction, focusing solely on a tasting menu called "Não há futuro sem memória" (There’s No Future Without Memory) (available in 6, 10 or 14 courses). The first starters can be served at the bar at the entrance, and su

This is one of those places where you seek more than just a meal — you seek produce, flavour, technique... and a culinary experience that moves you; not surprisingly, they wanted to pay tribute to José Saramago’s famous work “Blindness” and build their ethos around three concepts that play with the senses: Feel, Touch and Provoke. This restaurant, inside the Torel Palace hotel, is overseen by Chef Vítor Matos and champion a cuisine guided by common sense, serious in presentation yet playful (some blind tastings are offered), with plating not devoid of a theatrical touch. The concept involves a
WebsiteAntiqvvm
There are places in the world that, simply by their location, exert a particular pull. Such is the case of Antiqvvm, set in a leafy park and a singular building beside the Museu Romântico, as well as a pleasant garden where you can enjoy a meal… with one of the most idyllic views over the Douro! In its elegant rooms, which combine classic and contemporary details with undeniable good taste, chef Vítor Matos champions creative cuisine with elegant dishes of “only apparent” simplicity that conceal an ode to the product (scarlet prawn, red mullet, caviar, sea bass, wagyu, black truffle…). In his
WebsiteLe Monument
If you feel like going on a high-flying culinary adventure, you will find a magnificent option here, as the luxurious The One Monumental Palace hotel provides the perfect setting. French chef Julien Montbabut, who already reached Michelin star status in Paris, rethinks his concept to take us on a grand culinary journey through Portugal’s various regions. He revisits each region’s classic recipes from his own perspective and lends a touch of modern cuisine and a deep respect for flavours to dishes based on native ingredients. The experience is presented in two versions: Grande viagem [“Grand Jo

At Palacete Severo, a luxurious boutique hotel surrounded by gardens and reminiscent of an art gallery (its French owners are art dealers), the renowned chef Tiago Bonito undertakes his most personal project. The space includes a bar area where aperitifs are served before moving to the table, an elegant dining room adorned with fine contemporary works beneath a stunning coffered ceiling, and an additional room used for private dining. The proposal, distinctly gastronomic in nature, revolves around a tasting menu entitled Lés a Lés, from which guests may choose 9 or 14 moments from a list of di
WebsiteVinha
It is located in the exclusive Vinha Boutique Hotel, a small 16th-century mansion on the banks of the Douro, where sophistication and elegance lie around every corner. In the exquisitely decorated fine-dining restaurant, the menu is by renowned Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa and ably executed by resident Chef Jonathan Seiller. Here, the contemporary concept revolves around seasonal Portuguese produce with international influences, translated into à la carte dishes and a single tasting menu called Identidade (“Identity”), enhanced by two wine pairing options. Standout dishes? We loved both the crab, s
WebsitePátio 44
A restaurant that pleasantly surprises, both for the skill and quality of its produce and for its unassuming façade. This venture, conceived by three friends who crossed paths behind the scenes during a previous project, is led by chef Simão Soares in the kitchen and focuses on traditional Portuguese cuisine, enriched with modern techniques and unique flavours. In a space that reflects the philosophy – simple, welcoming and unpretentious – a concise yet distinctive menu is presented, featuring standout dishes such as sweet potato with beetroot, beef liver served with potato mille-feuille, and
