Came here for dinner and Thomas made our evening. The food was terrific and our waitress Rachel was lovey. Thomas made several recommodations of wineries to visit and they were spot on. He also suggested quinta do Tedo and it was great and the views lovely.

We arrived a bit late as our navigation system guided us through gravel roads and wine yards- the direct way - which turned out to be an adventurous drive with steep hills and over a very narrow bridge. When we arrived we found out that there was a normal road as well. Being late the welcome was a bit cold - as cold as the tasting room temperature - but once our guide realized that we had some knowledge on wine she quickly opened up and we had a very interesting tour of the cellar! Everything very modern and clean with a few on the environment. The wine tasting was very enjoyable and we even received a few very good recommendations. To visit a reservation is a must!

Open for a short time, this restaurant is set next to the old bridge, a short walk from the train station. We were looking for a break from meat, so we had the pasta with sauteed vegetables and a salad. Both were very fresh and good. The waiter recommended a crisp white wine from about 10km away, which went well with our food and was 8 euros for a bottle. We'd go back if we're in Porto again.

Nice ambience with good service. The menu is rather limited. However, as one of our children was under the weather and couldnât join us, the kitchen staff was very obliging and made a special soup for her. The duck salad was good and so was the pork fillet with chestnut purée. The homemade pasta in pesto is also recommended. The selection of ports and wines are amazing. Should try if you are in Pinhao

Restaurant with typical Portuguese food, with a privileged view over the river and vineyards, with a breathtaking silence where you can enjoy quality time listening to a good Portuguese fado.

Writerâs Place is a wonderful, familiy-run restaurant in the Douro Valley. The service is terrific and the portions are generous. My friends and I ordered four different entrees from rabbit to pork and they were all delicious. Desserts were to die for!

We had our lunch here while waiting for our boat trip. The service was great the view was amazing but the food is a bit hard to recommend. The veal was so tough and we weren't even asked how we wanted it cooked. Their drunken cake desert was also amazing. Their staff speaks good English. The place is clean but the table we were sitting in was shaking and everytime we have to slice the veal the whole table shakes. It was a good experience on the place other than the meat we had.

Located close to the bridge, Rufete offers fairly basic meat and fish dishes. No starters available, only bread and olives. No extras, but quite ok and good value for money. The lamb chops were tasy and the rumpsteak ok and large portion. The restaurant has a large wine list, menues available in English and quite good service for a small family restaurant.

Recommended and booked by our hotel, this restaurant was a great choice. Very helpful staff - with helpful advice. Meals are mainly from the grill served with salad and baked potatoes. We shared a sirloin steak cooked perfectly to our order which was delicious with an excellent house wine to complement it. The restaurant was buzzing midweek and was good value.

The philosophy of Cozinha da Clara is to serve local Portuguese cuisine at its best â simplicity is the key. We also want to include a touch of the familyâs heritage, by adding some of my grandmother, Claireâs favourite recipes. Executive chef, Pedro Card

We were very happy with every aspect of our experience at this restaurant.The patio seating is pleasant with picturesque views of the Douro River and opposing hillside vineyard. It wasn't too hot when we visited, but if you tend to get warm indoor seating looked nice as well.The food was wonderful. Very fresh, with nice combinations and mixtures of flavors. I ordered the risotto, which was wonderful, but not filling enough so I also ordered the octopus. The food was a mixture of traditional and contemporary Portuguese cuisine.We arrived early in our rental car, as there are not a lot of spots in the small parking lot, although I imagine you could park on the street. I saw that some people walked from the cruise ship parked close by.Thank you for the kind words and I am pleased you enjoyed your meal. Parking during the harvest is difficult and we are trying to improve this. We dont get many people from the boats coming to see us as they tend to be all inclusive.
