The PORTOBAY HOTEL TEATRO is a 4-star hotel in Porto belonging to the PortoBay Group. After being fully refurbished in the first half of 2021, it is now reopening its doors with a fresher, brighter and fully rejuvenated image. It is located in the theatre district, right in the historical centre of the city, in Rua Sá da Bandeira. It is just a few steps from the city's main attractions including São Bento Station, Clérigos Tower, Porto Cathedral, Avenida dos Aliados, Lello Bookshop, Bolhão Market and the well-known Cais da Ribeira, the Douro riverfront. At the entrance, in the main common area of the hotel is the reception and lounge where subtle décor highlights Nordic elements, natural fabrics and light wood panelling. Next to the entrance, but with its own access, the Il Basilico restaurant offers Italian comfort food flavours in the bruschettas, tortelloni, pizzas and risottos that find their way to the tables. The Il Basilico bar serves some dishes from the menu when the restaurant is closed. This area can be completely open to the street giving the feeling of a porch or indoor terrace. The hotel has 75 spacious rooms (ranging from 19. 5 to 52m2), divided into 5 categories (Gallery, Tribune, Audience, Junior Suite, and Suite), which offer a contemporary, natural and comfortable style. The neutral tones and light woods give a warm atmosphere that can be felt throughout the hotel.

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.

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.

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

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…).

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.

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

Just a few metres from Estádio do Dragão, chef Ricardo Dias Ferreira leans into ancestral cooking where... fire is the star of the show! Here, almost everything is prepared over fire and in the wood-fired oven (embers and low-temperature cooking also play an important role), giving the dishes a very distinctive flavour. With a minimalist feel and a U-shaped table-counter that houses the kitchen within it, the restaurant breathes an industrial air while also incorporating an elegantly decorated dining room. We recommend taking a seat at the counter to watch the entire preparation process and br
