While the 1960s architecture of this building–designated a National Monument of Portugal–is undoubtedly its most visible hallmark, its other notable distinction is the cuisine crafted by chefs Rui Paula and Catarina Correia. Located north of Porto, with ocean waves crashing at its feet, this unique spot perched on a rock facing the Atlantic serves as continual inspiration for the two chefs. The menu at Casa de Chá da Boa Nova pays tribute to Portuguese poet Luís Vaz de Camões and unfolds in a sequence of 6, 12, or 21 dishes, here called ’songs’, each showcasing the quality of seafood and other local flavors. Lobster pairs with corn, octopus with sweet cucumber, scarlet shrimp with broccoli and kaffir lime, and red mullet with asparagus. A creative and generous menu, a true ode to nature, complemented by an impressive selection of over 450 wines, mostly Portuguese.
