Bomfim 1896

Great experience at this restaurant. The food was so well executed and the service was of very high quality. The veal dish for 2 people was delicious and our deserts were superb. It all made a very enjoyable evening and will definitely plan to revisit.

We showed up early for our lunch reservation and they could not accommodate us as the kitchen is prepared for only so many guests at a time. The restaurant itself had adequate places open. Coming to the food the lobster rice was delicious as was the oven roasted goat leg. However the goat leg was unevenly cooked with some parts being very dry. With the appetizers we had varied experiences. The prawns were just prawns. The mushrooms were an interesting mix. The tomato soup was delicious but a joke in terms of its quantity. The service was professional and to the point. The senior wait staff was well trained, while the younger bunch needs work. Can’t say they’re warm or friendly.

Took the train from Porto to Pinhão the other day with zero plans, just a mission to eat, drink, and have a good time. We rolled into town and lucked out, finding Quinta do Bomfim, part of the Symington Family Estates, right by the river at the east end of town. Their restaurant, Bomfim 1896, opened at 12:30, and somehow we scored a table with no reservation (we miss you, Tony). We let the staff steer the ship and went with all their recommendations. Kicked things off with a gin cocktail spiked with sparkling Port and grapefruit (was perfectly refreshing), followed by the chef’s signature creamy blue lobster rice. Washed it down with a bottle of 2021 Parcela Única white wine and finished with a millefeuille layered with smoked cream and salted caramel. The kitchen and staff crushed it. It was an incredible meal.

The food was mostly good. And the staff was friendly but not too much. I like that I could enjoyed the meal while looking at the Duoro valley and wineries outside the window. It made the food feel even better. Overall it was a nice experience.

I think this was one of the best gastronomical experience this year. The restaurant is AMAZING! Great decoration, food and wine. Bring your significant other for a very romantic meal. Ever dish had beautiful presentation and waves of tastes exploding in my mouth. Can wait to comeback! You must make a reservation prior arrival. Take time to visit Pinhão before or after the restaurant.

Restaurant looks Very Nice and the service was great. Food was good too. I absolutely loved my starter but my main was a bit dry for my taste. I got the wild boar and some parts were very soft but the majority was chewy and dry, I never had that meat before so I'm not sure if it's the meat, even though two smalls bits were very soft... The rest wasn't... Dessert was divine. My husband ordered shrimp for starters and even though it looks good, amazing presentation, I found a pain in the a.. to take the skin off a shrimp. His main was amazing. Meat was melting. Check our photos!!! I highly recommend the restaurant, just wouldn't recommend the wild boar.

High end restaurant. Good view over looking the Douro Valley. It’s okay to dine there for a special occasion

A modern grand Quinta with a long history. Very spacious through out the location. Plenty parking with shade. The white port and red wine we tried are decent. The Oliver oil tastes fresh The terrace has a stunning view of the Douro River and the vineyard on the mountains.
