Belém


A defining dining experience awaits at chef João Rodrigues' slick, contemporary, Michelin-starred restaurant overlooking the riverfront. Rich textures and clean, bright flavours dominate throughout three tasting menus, which showcase Portugal's rich and vibrant bounty. Pigeon with wild mushrooms, foie gras and truffles, Algarve scarlet shrimp and Iberian pork neck exhilarate with every bite.

From the beginning (excellent bread with the Douro's Doña Berta olive oil), through to engaging wine choices and a few surprises along the way, this is where your palette meets paradise. Those splurging on tasting menus receive a waxed-sealed menu of their evening signed by the chef – a nice touch.
