Restaurants in Porto

Porto offers visitors an impressive range of restaurants with both local cuisine and international options to suit all tastes and budgets. Porto has become a real foodie destination, with chefs reviving traditional local dishes. Gastronomic experiences range from an authentic paella to rustic roasts in farmhouse restaurants.

Although the offer is quite extensive, some names are unavoidable. Just a few steps from the exquisite Palácio da Bolsa is the “DOP”, Rui Paula’s restaurant. The chef, from the Douro district of Alijó, has early developed his passion for cooking, influenced by his maternal grandmother and her old recipes based on local products. Rui Paula, who masters all kinds of dishes, interprets Portuguese classic dishes, such as, bacalhau com broa, polvo à lagareiro, cachaço de porco bísaro com migas de feijão-frade e broa or cabritinho e seus miúdos. If you can’t decide between these dishes, try one of the tasting menus.
