Guimarães's celebration table

A Cozinha is chef António Loureiro's restaurant, on Largo do Serralho, a small square in the historic centre that you reach by losing yourself in the streets between Toural and the castle. It has one Michelin star. The chef starts from the idea that cooking is also telling stories: cooking with a traditional Portuguese base and modern technique, focused on the produce. The dining room looks into the kitchen and upstairs there is a private room and a small terrace with aromatic herbs.

What to order

Two options: the Equilíbrio tasting menu, of six or nine courses, or a short à la carte. The Michelin guide highlights the beef with cauliflower. It is the dinner for an occasion, not to get by: expect a high price and book.

When to go

It opens Tuesday to Saturday, from 12:30 to 15:30 and from 19:30 to 23:00. It is closed Sunday and Monday, so on a weekend break the day is Saturday. Book on its website or by phone; for large groups, they call you.
