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 How? For more information, see www.the-yeatman-hotel.com Fly via TAP Portugal
