Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto

The south bank of the Douro, lined with port lodges and tasting cellars. Cable car, the Yeatman two-star room and the Mercado Beira-Rio food hall live here.

Vila Nova de Gaia is the south bank of the Douro, lined with port lodges and their tasting cellars. The Yeatman's two-star dining room crowns the hill, the Mercado Beira-Rio food hall covers the casual end, and the cable car links the levels. Taste port where it has always been aged, then eat facing the boats.

The full Vila Nova de Gaia food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Porto food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
