The Yeatman Gastronomic Restaurant — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

We had the privilege of dining at The Yeatman’s gastronomic restaurant, and what an extraordinary journey it was. From the flawless wine pairings to the carefully chosen cutlery, tableware, and glassware, every detail was meticulously considered to create the perfect conditions for a truly exceptional gastronomic experience. Elizabeth Fernandes, The Yeatman’s award-winning Wine Director, elevates the experience with masterful wine selections that celebrate Portugal’s finest wines.

The front-of-house team delivered a standard of hospitality that was nothing short of outstanding. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel deeply welcomed and cared for. Meanwhile, the kitchen team, under the vision and leadership of Chef Ricardo Costa, crafted an immaculate menu, a poetic symphony of flavours, textures, and aromas, executed with precision, imagination, and soul.

A standout moment was the leitão, a true signature of Chef Ricardo. Its irresistibly crunchy texture and pure, honest flavours were a masterclass in simplicity elevated to perfection — a dish that beautifully marries tradition with refinement and continues to resonate long after the meal is over.

The presentation of the menu itself reflected a profound care for the overall journey — not just a meal, but a thoughtfully curated experience designed to linger in the memory. It was the kind of evening one savours deeply in the moment and instantly begins to long for again.

It was a truly unforgettable, delicious night! all made possible by the dedication, skill, and passion of Chef Ricardo Costa, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence by Pedro Marques and his team.

Though the restaurant was busy, the teamwork was in full unison. Juliana, Gus, João, and Pedro never once made us feel overlooked. Quite the opposite, we were in awe of their masterful execution and the privilege of being part of such a remarkable experience.

A world-class gastronomic journey, the kind many aspire to offer, but only a rare few truly achieve. We feel incredibly privileged and deeply...

We had an exceptional experience at this two-Michelin-star restaurant during our stay at The Yeatman in Porto. Despite it being the day of our arrival, the team was incredibly accommodating and were able to provide us a dinner reservation. They surprised us with a private dining room with an incredible view of the city that allowed us to enjoy our meal in complete privacy with our six-month-old daughter—something we truly appreciated.

The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, and the attention to detail made the experience feel both luxurious and personal. The culinary creations were exquisite, each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—a true testament to the restaurant’s Michelin-star quality. We really enjoyed the soft shell crab, trout and sake, and tuna dishes. The desserts were also delicious.

We are grateful for the care and flexibility shown, making our first evening in Porto unforgettable. This is a dining experience we would highly recommend to anyone seeking not only world-class cuisine but also thoughtful, family-friendly...

The restaurant is a part of the hotel, it has a beautiful hill top location with an amazing view of Porto from the terrace but also the window seats of the restaurant. The dining experience starts in the living room and you will be guided to the kitchen to experience the vibe and food and then back to the main dining area in the restaurant. Overall the service is good but for a Michelin 2 star restaurant it could be more attentive, I needed to ask to get my glass filled for example. Food is creative as expected, however flavor was not too outstanding and some dishes were a bit salty. I love the concept of eating local but when I get bread and butter as one course and churro as the main dessert it is a bit too standard for a 2 star restaurant in my opinion. I have food intolerance, the kitchen and the team really took care of it, so definitely good service on that part.

It is overall a good dining experience but not the best 2 star food...
