Restaurants and Bars at the Porto Palácio Congress Hotel & Spa

You’ll find that there is nothing missing to satisfy your palate at the Porto Palácio Hotel. With five different restaurants, recognised by the local Portuguese public as some of the best in town, this hotel is a culinary reference in the magnetic city of Porto. The main restaurants are designed by the famous Portuguese designer, Paulo Lobo, who always adds a hint of modernism and great sophistication to his projects. Don’t miss out on the breakfast in the morning in Madruga or a drink in the evening up at the VIP Lounge, which also never fails to impress.

Góshò - “Góshò” is Japanese for “imperial palace” and this restaurant is certainly the “imperial palace” of the senses. Taste this truly impressive fusion cuisine, in a restaurant where the decor will not go unnoticed!

Grappa By Chakall - The charismatic Argentinean Chef, Chakall, signs off the magnificent dishes at this restaurant. Real Italian flavours, including the traditional Neapolitan pizzas or delicious pastas and risottos with authentic Mediterranean flavours, are served here. Paulo Lobo, the interior designer, has gone a long way to make each guest feel in a different kind of place. 

Madruga - The Madruga is the hotel’s buffet-style restaurant, serving buffet lunches on Sundays only. Guests may enjoy their wonderful morning breakfast here in a stylish contemporary decor.

Porto Beer - Try one of the beers on offer in this sophisticated environment. The food is mostly local or traditional, where the famous Francesinha certainly stands out. There is a fresh fish dish every day and lots of different meats to choose from.

Salsa & Loureiro - The secrets of Portuguese gastronomy are elaborated here with great creativity and a hint of exclusivity from the hands of Chef Hélio Loureiro. These traditional dishes blend perfectly with the wines of the “Mood for Wine” cellar next door - a selection of the best Portuguese wines.

VIP Lounge - On the 19th floor of the hotel, the VIP Lounge stands out for the unbeatable panoramic views over the city, reaching as far as the sea. Open throughout the day, guests can truly feel like VIPs at this bar, which serves coffees in the morning, teas in the afternoon and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks all day.

Vita Pura - This modern “wellness corner” is dedicated to those who like to enjoy food with their well-being in mind. The Vita Pura serves everything from soups and salads to fruits, yoghurts and cereals; as well as other healthy choices.
