- Gastro by Elemento★ Michelin 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 br2.7km
- Vinha★ Michelin 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, s3.3km
- Blind★ Michelin 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 a4.3km
- Le Monument★ Michelin 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 Jo4.7km
- Pátio 44Bib 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 4.0km
- Izakaya Japanese Cuisine This small establishment sits in the bohemian, unhurried Bonfim neighbourhood, where Pedro Ribeiro, front of house, and Rubén Mesquita, responsible for the culinary proposal, grew up. The chef, who nurtures a passion for Japanese culture and gastronomy (he tends to travel to Japan a few times a year in search of new inspirations and products), advocates a notably purist Japanese cuisine, albeit with a light contemporary touch, grounded in regional fish (most from the Matosinhos fish market and some aged), and pairing them with other imported ingredients. The 12 diners per sitting, whether at t3.8km
- Atrevo The name says almost everything; however, if you still have doubts, there is nothing better to clarify its philosophy than the words of chef Rita Magro herself, who leads the project: “Nothing is too bold for those who dare to try everything”. Indeed, after being recognised with the MICHELIN Young Chef Award 2024 (when she was chef Vítor Matos’s right-hand at Blind), we see that… Rita Magro is now flying solo! The venue, rather compact, unfolds across three clearly distinct spaces: a front room with a support counter, a small room at the back and, lastly, the kitchen, fitted with a Japanese-st3.9km
- Apego Allow yourself to be won over by this small bistro, a little away from the city centre yet with a welcoming atmosphere, endowed with special charm and singular décor. Here, the talented Chef Aurora Goy pays homage to her Luso-French roots and explores unique flavours through refined techniques, enhancing both taste and presentation. The offering comprises two tasting menus, Apego (“Attachment”) – 5 courses – and Desapego (“Detachment”) – 7 courses – essentially based on vegetables from local producers. A recommendation? Add to your experience the hake ravioli, prawn crudo, miso aubergine and b3.9km
- Culto ao Bacalhau If you’re visiting the beautiful city of Porto and are planning on heading to the historic Bolhão market, make sure you jot down the name of this restaurant! It is located on the upper gallery of this legendary building and, as the name strongly suggests, it is almost completely focused on the world of cod, with bacalhau-related recipes from across Portugal (cod escabeche with mussels, “bacalhau à Brás”, rice with cod and oysters, etc), an influence that even extends to the desserts! One dessert that we particularly loved but which has nothing to do with cod was the spectacular “pão de ló” spo4.3km
- Almeja It’s housed in a building that used to be a traditional coffee and tea shop on the outskirts of Bolhão (the place that gives its name to one of its executive menus). Chef João Cura, after gaining experience in prestigious restaurants in Spain, decided to embark on his own project alongside his wife, Sofia Amaral — who runs the dining room. The concept is grounded in seasonal cuisine and, before designing the menu, the freshest products are selected from local producers. Originality and flavour abound in the chef’s signature creations, which can be enjoyed as a 10-course tasting menu, the Bolhã4.3km
