Pedro Lemos

Dining at this restaurant, overlooking the mouth of the Douro, is quite an experience; fittingly, it occupies a warehouse tied to the city’s naval history and the era when Porto opened itself to the world. This is an impressive venue both due to its minimalist atmosphere and the large curtains dividing up its interior (there is a bar area where the first appetisers are served, a beautiful main dining room, and an exclusive space called Único for 8 guests right in the kitchen, where a surprise menu with special pairings is offered). Here, chef Pedro Lemos serves up contemporary cuisine with strong classical roots, always presented with great elegance. A tip? It’s worth visiting the wine cellar (where you can pick wines not on the list) and catching the charming line 1 tram, which takes you along the riverbanks on a delightful route.
