Bomfim 1896, the restaurant of the Quinta do Bomfim

The kitchen of a Douro house

Bomfim 1896 is inside the Quinta do Bomfim, the Symington estate on the Douro bank, at the entrance to Pinhão. The dining room is inspired by the kitchens of the valley's families: a central open kitchen, large fireplaces and wood-fired ovens, so you see the cooking while you eat. The menu revisits traditional Douro recipes and is accompanied by the house wines, from the DOC Douro to the ports of Dow's, Graham's or Warre's.

Opening hours and closing dates

It is open Tuesday to Saturday, at lunchtime from 12:30 to 15:00 and in the evening from 19:00 to 21:00. Sunday and Monday it is closed.

How it fits

It is the natural lunch of a day in Pinhão: in the morning, the visit and tasting at the Quinta do Bomfim itself or at Quinta da Roêda, on the other side of the village, and after lunch, a walk by the river. From Pinhão station you walk there. To sleep without going back on the road, The Vintage House is a few minutes away.
