The Yeatman
Rua do Choupelo | Vila Nova de Gaia
I already had dinner three times at The Yeatman hotel and it was always a marvelous experience.
The space itself is marvelous: a 19th century dining room with a magnificent view overlooking the Douro river makes it the perfect setting for a romantic occasion.
The food, carefully thought by the chef Ricardo Costa, is a remarkably faithful representation of traditional Portuguese flavors presented in a modern way. So good that The Yeatman was listed as one of the Michelin star restaurants in Porto.
The tasting Menu at The Yeatman is a seasonal menu with 8-10 courses selected by the chief (170€ or 245€ with wine pairing).
If you take my advice, at the end ask them to serve you dessert at the Dick’s bar, which is literally next room, but much more private. To make your reservation, call +351 220 133 100.
- Michelin Star: Yes.

This is one of our favorite places to eat, not only because of the yummy food but also because of the welcoming tropical vibe of Fava Tonka.
