Largo do Paço

They say the Casa da Calçada hotel, the 16th-century palace that houses Largo do Paço, is made “of stones and dreams”. The truth, without doubt, is that it captivates with its location and can be the perfect touch during your visit to the beautiful city of Amarante, one of Portugal’s most romantic destinations. The restaurant, running smoothly under the baton of talented chef Francisco Quintas, surprises with an easy contemporary comfort, bare tables and modern details that still feel elegant. It champions two modern tasting menus (13 or 15 moments, both with pairing options) that bring togeth

This house with more than three decades of activity and family management is a regional reference and seeks to stay up to date, but without losing its personality. In this space, which features a hall‑adega (wine‑hall) at the entrance and several rooms with a classic‑rustic ambience, decorated with objects that allude to oenology — not by chance its emblem is the three pipas (barrels) — the regional cuisine of Beira Alta is a highlight. The offering, composed of hearty dishes and house specialities, is completed by daily suggestions, among which we highlight fried octopus with bread‑herb crumb
