The Atlantic Style Dining In Vila Nova de Gaia

If you’re a wine enthusiast seeking a perfect coastal destination in Portugal, look no further than Vila Nova de Gaia. Let’s explore this culinary gem with Eatagram.

The city benefits from its prime location, as it is a sea port and a prominent center of wine production, dotted with numerous vineyards. Its rich culinary heritage has been shaped by the city’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the fertile soils of Douro Valley known for the best Portuguese wines. As Vila Nova de Gaia is located along the banks of the beautiful Douro River, local restaurants boast breathtaking views from their terraces overlooking the city and the river.

The Atlantic Ocean and the Douro River provide Vila Nova de Gaia with an abundance of seafood and freshwater fish. Local restaurants serve a wide variety of fish based dishes. Be sure to taste local seafood stews and grilled freshwater fish.

For meat enthusiasts, Vila Nova de Gaia offers an array of mouth watering meat specialties. We absolutely recommend that you try grilled meats and the iconic francesinha. This unique specialty is actually a sandwich with cured ham, linguiça sausage, and steak, smothered in melted cheese and a tomato sauce. We bet you’ve never tried a sandwich in gravy. Pair francesinha with a glass of a local wine from Douro Valley. Here’s to your vacation in Portugal!

If you can’t imagine your dinner without a sweet ending, luxuriate in custard tarts and airy almond pastries. Accompany them with freshly brewed coffee, sit back and let the world go by.

We promise, you’ll fall in love with Vila Nova de Gaia.
