A singular address, adding a distinctly gastronomic hue to the full offering of the Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia Hotel, born from the fusion of the Tivoli hotels and Kopke, the world’s oldest Port wine house (founded in 1638, hence the restaurant’s name). The culinary offering, with wonderful views over the city of Porto, even more impressive from the terrace and the top-floor Sky Bar, bears the signature of award-winning Spanish chef Nacho Manzano (Casa Marcial, Arriondas), who has found his day-to-day “alter ego” at the stoves in Portuguese chef Tony Salgado. Inspired by two rivers (the Douro and the Sella) and the chef’s own personal sensibilities, the concept is served up as a tasting menu (a choice of 9 or 11 moments), combining with coherence and delicacy the flavours of Asturian cuisine alongside those of northern Portugal. A standout dish? We especially enjoyed the Lombo de novilho, pesto de algas e salada de curtidos, beef loin with seaweed pesto and a pickled salad.
