The 35 Best Restaurants in Porto, Portugal | Eater

"In the luxurious, wine-focused hotel of the same name in Vila Nova de Gaia, you’ll find the two-Michelin-starred Yeatman restaurant. Under the command of chef Ricardo Costa, the restaurant serves two tasting menus, one standard and one vegetarian. The options encompass traditional flavors of Portuguese cuisine with modern flair and seasonal produce, including fresh seafood from the Portuguese coast and suckling pig (a specialty from Bairrada, the chef’s home region). The wine pairings are predictably fantastic, drawn from a cellar packed with rare bottles. If that weren’t enough, every meal comes with a stunning view of the Douro River and the Porto skyline. Know before you go: It’s a tasting menu, so plan to stay a while. To keep things lively, a meal also becomes a tour of the restaurant as you eat, with courses served outside, in the kitchen, and in the more traditional dining room." - Rafael Tonon

Portugal Shines with Eight New One-Star Restaurants

"This Two MICHELIN Star restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia offers exceptional Portuguese dishes." - The MICHELIN Guide

"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 seasonal products (most of which arrive daily from the ocean). Little details that enhance the experience? It boasts one of the best wine cellars in Portugal, has extremely professional service, and offers a marvellous panoramic view, both from the large dining room windows and, especially, from its spectacular terrace!" - Michelin Inspector

The Best Hotels in Porto, Portugal

"Best hotel in Porto for wine lovers The Yeatman’s star attraction is, undoubtedly, the decanter shaped pool and terrace that allows you to enjoy the view of Porto’s winding streets from the other side of the river. The hotel has six storys, but domineering tower block it is not; each floor is arranged on the banks of the Douro, giving guests a lookout no matter which room they stay in. Those who visit Porto with a plan to enjoy as many wines as possible will love this property, which is heavily focused on the local tipple; images of vineyards decorate the walls, while there’s a cellar available to tour between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Be sure to check into the Michelin-starred restaurant while you’re there to enjoy the traditional flavors of Portugal. –Abigail Malbon Address: The Yeatman, Rua do Choupelo, 4400-088 Vila Nova de GaiaPrice: Doubles from about $234 per night" - Abigail Malbon
