Formal dining in Porto is at its grandest at beautiful Restaurante O Comercial, a hidden pearl located at the back of the Palácio da Bolsa - the city’s stock exchange, and HQ of its Commercial Association – in the heart of the Ribeira waterfront district. Presentation is impressive here, and not just the neoclassical-style high stone arches loftily looming above the plush, contemporary-feel dining space. O Comercial’s kitchen is something of a whizz at delivering elegant, locally-inspired dishes which are surprisingly reasonably priced on the set weekday lunch menu. Expect excellent local wine matches. The view over the water at night is magical.
Looking to impress? You will with a private booking at O Comercial, what with its tucked-away address in a key historical building, traditional-meets- contemporary splendour and top-notch service. Plus, the exclusive wine list features some of the best Portuguese wines.
