Cozinha da Clara

Pinhão


Whether you come for drinks, tapas and sunset over the river, or for one of the splendid three-course 'dinner parties' hosted by chef Pedro Cardoso, Quinta de la Rosa's recently launched restaurant is a delightful place to dine. Snag a table on the outdoor terrace if you can – views of the vineyards and the Douro flowing far below are breathtaking.
