Gastronomy in port-town at The Yeatman

ByQ X

Yeatman dessert

Who? The Yeatman

What? Portuguese food is often known for its simplicity but at the Michelin-starred restaurant at The Yeatman Hotel this translates to something more gastronomic. For a restaurant in a city that’s entrenched in wine, port to be exactly, the menu is never very far from that connection. That’s perhaps why it’s the perfect place to learn about wines with a menu made to match.

When? Open year round with set dates for wine dinners

Where? The Yeatman Hotel, Rua do Choupelo, (Santa Marinha), Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto 4400-088, Portugal
