Eating at this restaurant, facing the mouth of the Douro, is always a gratifying experience; not for nothing does it occupy a warehouse linked to the city’s naval history, and chef-owner Pedro Lemos introduces himself by saying: “If I feel I don’t fit into this world, it’s because I was born to create my own.” In this space, striking for both its minimalist atmosphere and the presence of large curtains that organise the interior (there’s a bar area where the first aperitifs are served and a beautiful main dining room), the chef champions a contemporary cuisine with strong classical roots, always elegant, using high-quality regional produce (eel, bivalves, red mullet...). Care to take a recommendation? It’s well worth visiting the wine cellar (you can choose wines that aren’t on the list) and hopping on the charming line 1 tram, which will take you along the riverbanks on a lovely route.
