#port-wine

I visit Porto at least once every year, and never tire of wandering its pretty streets or marvelling at the azulejo-adorned architecture. Like many, I make a beeline for the majestic Dom Luis I bridge every time I arrive - stretching across the Douro river and an emblem of the city, it's my walking connection to Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto 's often overlooked neighbour.

One of the most exciting new openings in Porto is the 1638 Restaurant & Wine Bar, which is helmed by three-Michelin-Star chef Nacho Manzano and is purposefully cultivating an air of mystery around its 11-course Sensory Menu. Another is Kaigi, the Japanese-Portuguese restaurant from the respected chef Vasco Coelho Santos and his Euskalduna hospitality group. Meanwhile, chef Vitor Matos has not one but two Michelin Star restaurants in the city now, Blind and Antiqvvm.
