Vila Foz

Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€€

It will surprise you, as it occupies what was once the luxurious events room of the Vila Foz H. & SPA, an evocative 19th-century mansion located opposite Praia do Homem do Leme. Here, surrounded by elegant frames, period goldwork, original lamps and mirrors inspired by grand palatial residences, discover the gourmet cuisine of Chef Arnaldo Azevedo, who through his menus Novo Mundo (entirely vegetarian) and Maresia (more focused on Atlantic products, playing with the tides’ rhythm) champions a contemporary style of cooking that highlights the flavours of Portugal’s fantastic fish and seafood.

Casa de Chá da Boa Nova

Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

Rarely has the idea of "bringing the sea to the table" been so literal, so authentic, so wild… to the point where you can feel the waves crashing in the dining room. It is no coincidence that this unique building, declared a National Monument, rises from the rocks of Boa Nova Beach. Chef Rui Paula, with Executive Chef Catarina Correia at his side, based his offering on a verse ("Through seas never before sailed") by the illustrious poet Luís Vaz de Camões in his famous epic The Lusiads. The offer, presented on a concise menu and an excellent tasting menu entitled Cantos, allows you to choose s

In Diferente

Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€

This welcoming restaurant isn’t in the city centre or on the usual tourist routes, yet... it’s truly worth the visit! Angélica Salvador, the Brazilian-born chef at the helm, offers her take on traditional Portuguese and international cooking through a small menu and two contemporary-leaning tasting menus, Homenagem and In Diferente (7 and 9 moments, respectively), both with their own pairing option and the possibility of changing a dish if the diner wishes. Her concept is different and personalised, with signature details, making the most of both the wonderful fish from the Matosinhos or Aveir

Bistrô by Vila Foz

Seafood, Portuguese

€€

An informal venture from the prestigious Vila Foz, in collaboration with the renowned chef Arnaldo Azevedo. Located in the Matosinhos Municipal Market, the place exudes authenticity, with a counter facing the stoves and tables spread out on the terrace, in the midst of the market hustle and bustle. The idea here is to offer simple, honest cooking, where the raw ingredients take centre stage and preparation involves minimal intervention to preserve the quality and freshness of the produce that arrives straight from the wholesale fish market. Diners can choose to buy fish or seafood at the marke

Cibû

Regional European, Contemporary

€€

In a small alley next to the Forte de Leça da Palmeira stands Cibû, a charming restaurant that takes its name from a typical expression of the Trás-os-Montes region. The space shows Nordic influences, with stone walls and a predominance of wood in the ceilings and furniture, which define the character of the setting. In the kitchen is Chef Hugo Portela who, after working in renowned restaurants in Norway, Barcelona and Switzerland, decided to invest in his own team alongside his partner Sara Silva. The menu, designed for sharing, is inspired by traditional Portuguese dishes with touches from n

SEIVA

Vegan, Vegetarian

€€

Behind the name Seiva, which we’re told is “a tribute to the art of resin extraction” and to the ties this craft has with chef David Jesus’s family, lies an unmistakable admiration for sap, said to be “the vital essence of nature”. David Jesus defends, with incredible fervour, the idea that it’s possible to create good food using what the habitat around us provides, and his vegan/vegetarian restaurant is proof of that. The menu, complemented by two set options (6 or 11 dishes), changes frequently with the season and the chef’s creativity, always innovating and building new combinations. In gen

Cafeína

International

€€

This is the first restaurant of the Cafeína Group, boasting 30 years of operation. Set on a corner between Rua do Padrão and Rua Gondarém, it occupies an old villa that retains its façade of tiles, still in pristine condition. Upon entering, you’ll find a classy, refined setting, marked by dark woods and warm hues, along with a traditionally styled bar. The bistronomie concept that defines it is clearly influenced by French cuisine, while also revisiting Portuguese dishes with a contemporary twist. Although the menu is packed with appealing options, ranging from puff pastry lobster soup to duc

Liz

Contemporary

€€

In this cosy bistro-style restaurant, away from the bustle of the city centre, chef Daniel Carvalheira pays homage to his daughter and presents a highly gastronomic proposal, demonstrating a high level of technical mastery. In an intimate space lit by candlelight, the chef offers a tasting menu that blends his Mozambican and Portuguese roots with French cuisine, revealing flavourful dishes and refined presentations. Through a proposal based on seasonal products, delicacies arise such as pink coastal prawns with curry, adorned with crunchy cubes of guanciale and roasted‑lemon paste, monkfish se
