3 wine bar restaurants worth the trip across Portugal, editor-ranked. All cuisines in Portugal.
UVA Restaurant & Wine Bar ★ 4.5 · Funchal
Sé · Rua dos Aranhas 27-A, 9000-044 Funchal
UVA is the rooftop restaurant and wine bar at The Vine in Funchal, where chef Thomas Faudry runs a farm-to-table Madeiran line above the harbour.
Tip: Dinner Tuesday to Saturday, and the rooftop is worth arriving early for at sunset.
Palatial Vigna ★ 4.4 · Braga
Avenida da Independência 8, 4705-162 Braga
The wine-bar counter inside Palatial with paired small plates from the same Michelin-starred kitchen. Easier to book than the main restaurant.
Tip: Vigna seats are easier to secure than the main restaurant and share the same ingredient quality.
Kartilho ★ 4.0 · Braga
Centro Historico · Rua D. Paio Mendes 10, 4700-424 Braga
Kartilho blends pasture and vineyard: mature beef cuts and a wine list deep in Minho and Douro. The wood-grilled octopus is a popular concession.
