Thatโs a YES
Great food, service and atmosphere! and the staff was particularly engaging and helpful. The design of the restaurant was splendid, and the food was really delicious.
Be the first to ReplyExquisite dining experience along the Douro
The highlight of our incredible day touring the Douro valley (and it was a day filled with magnificent experiences) was our exquisite lunch at this restaurant. Everything about the meal, from the atmosphere of the restaurant to the attentiveness of the staff was superb and no detail was overlooked. I wonโt go into too much detail about the meal but suffice it to write that each of courses (there were 4, each one paired w wine) were delectable. We started w/ egg cooked at low temperature w sausage; moved onto seafood rice stew w lobster, continued w sucking pig and finished with a playful dessert consisting of Earl Grey tea flavored torte. (The amuse bouche both before the starter and one immediately preceding dessert (a savory bite of pop rocks candy!) were also delightful. Just bliss from start to finish and so pleasing all the way around. Truly, it was one of those meals and experiences that are hard to find or replicate.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious restaurant!
We took tables outside (super nice atmosphere) but reservations are required. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing, it was the best pairing of our entire trip in Portugal and we had several other tasting menus with wine pairings but the one in this restaurant was the one that surprised us the most, it was very aligned with the menu and the flavor really complemented it. the wine and vice versa and it elevated the experience too much. The sommelier is very good! The food was wonderful, the entire menu was very tasty, a highlight for the desserts, which were fantastic! We went with our 2 year old baby and we still had a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this restaurant, itโs excellent!

Super refined restaurant with dishes that justify its Michelin award, both in flavor and presentation and excellent quality of service.

Memorable lunch, with a privileged view over the Douro River. From the treatment to the meal, everything was impeccable. To be repeated, without a doubt! Great wine list, super tasty food. Excellent experience! Great Staff ๐
Be the first to ReplyDOC was DOA. Skip it.
Our visit started with a man begging for money in the parking lot and didnโt get better from there. The servers were unfriendly and indifferent - it almost felt like we had inconvenienced them by showing up. Every dish was meh, but the salad with Brie cheese and pepper jam was particularly offensive - itโs a $12 dish at an airport Chiliโs, not the work of a chef with a Michelin star. Pretty dining room but bathrooms dark, damp, and depressing.

Every element of our dining experience was perfect! Staff is wonderful, Chef is brilliant & was so interactive with his staff and guests. We will always return!
Be the first to ReplyFirst night in the Douro valley
We had made reservations ahead of time to have dinner. We had a 20 minute taxi ride to get there. The restaurant sits right on the Douro river. We sat outside on a beautiful Monday evening. The service was outstanding. I ordered the pig which was good but I could not enjoyed the skin (tough). The waiter asked if I was ok with but I donโt think he understood my English.
Be the first to ReplyFirst-rate on all counts, but a hefty check for an experience that doesnโt really stand out.
The setting: superb. The service: excellent. But after youโre done, nothing stands out as really special, except the check, which is on a par with Michelin Star restaurants.
Be the first to ReplyOutstanding!
Absolutely outstanding! The best food, service and ambiance we have experienced in Portugal. Yes, there is a man in the parking area who seems to act as a (sort of) parking attendant and asks for money when you self park, but he seems harmless enough.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a gastronomic experience!
Itโs a really nice restaurant with a fabulous view of Douro River and the hills with vineyards everywhere! The food is amazing, and the employees very attentive! Itโs expensive but itโs a fabulous gastronomic experience.
Be the first to ReplyDOC restaurant review
This restaurant was exquisite! The food and service were amazing! My daughter had the signature menu and she loved it. we all ordered a la cate! I would highly recommend this lovely spot for lunch or dinner! We did not have the view as we did dinner and was raining but I imagine lunch would be beautiful. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyOur best meal in Portugal!
As intrepid travels, weโve come to depend on Trip Advisor to inform our decisions. To reciprocate, I write reviews to help other travelers replicate our exceptional experiences, and avoid disappointing ones. Our extraordinary dinner at DOC surpassed all our expectations and I recommend it enthusiastically and without reservation. In fact, of our six top restaurant experiences while in Portugal, DOC was the best. We were in the Douro Valley on a birthday celebration and DOC was the perfect venue, thanks to its exquisite location on the river, its alluring ambiance and distinctive menu and wine list (we chose the pre-fix multi-course menu with wine pairings), and its attentive service. There were items on the pre-fix that didnโt appeal, but we adopted the โwhen in Romeโ philosophy and opened our minds and palates to foods we wouldnโt have otherwise ordered. We were not disappointed. There were two pre-fix 7-course menus (three starters, one fish, one meat, and two desserts) and we ordered both to maximize our experience, while substituting one item on each menu. The food is copious but not overwhelming, and it was cheap in comparison to what a similar culinary experience would cost in Napa Valley, never mind in France or Italy. They even acknowledged the birthday with an extra surprise at the end. We hope this review inspires others to chose DOC!
Be the first to ReplyThe best culinary stop at the Douro valley
This was our second time stopping by DOC in 6 years. After all the wreckage the pandemic has imposed on the sector, it was more than reassuring to experience that this perle on the Douro had not changed at all. Perhaps it became slightly better. Parabรฉns!

Friendly staff, wonderful views, lovely weather and best of all fantastic food. Worth every cent. Wish I was able to spend more time at the restaurant.

It was the best food experience that we ever had. Speaking from myself, there are no words to express the feelings that you can have in this restaurant. Genius
Be the first to ReplyAmazing Meal
We enjoyed one of our best meals in Portugal here. Each course was fantastic and the sommelier was kind enough to do a personalized wine pairing for our selections. The service was prompt, courteous and friendly. And the view of the Douro River and valley were spectacular.
Be the first to ReplyBaby yelling and mom breast feeding at the table
While the food was excellent our overall experience was extremely poor. There was a group of 6 (one being 6-8 month old) that yelled and cried most of the 2+ hours we dined. To top things off the mother breast fed the child at their table with no modesty. Iโm not against folks taking kids to dinner, but it is inconsiderate of the parents to not excuse themselves to some place private to calm the child/breast feed. The manager of the restaurant should have intervened but did not. A Michelin star restaurant should have a minimum age limit of guest as the adult guest probably donโt want to witness what went on. This one group visibly disturbed the 8 tables I could see. So very disappointed as we were looking forward to a very nice intimate dinner.
Be the first to ReplyGreat ambience but food was nothing to write home about
Great ambience and excellent service. We ordered two appetizers and two main courses. Out of those two were really good (not outstanding, but really good) while two had little or no flavor to speak of. We seriously considered asking for salt & pepper shakers. Overall it was a disappointing experience, especially considering the prices.
Be the first to ReplyJust perfect
Sat outside on a sunny day with good food and good wine who could ask for more?
I researched a place for lunch with stunning views of the Douro and came across Doc. We stopped off here for lunch when touring the Douro. Instead of going for the tasting menu we selected a number of dishes which made a considerable saving. The service matches the food and wine, all are fantastic. The only negative is the car parking. There isnโt much and getting a car parking spot is a matter of luck. If you can get a boat tour that stops here that would be the perfect answer to the car parking and enjoying the wine! There are lots of photos of the beautiful and famous visiting the restaurant. All in all itโs just fab!
Unforgettable Meal
Not an everyday Michelin patron, but clear to see what much of the praise and noteworthiness is all about. The food is over the top and the service impeccable. We obviously did the menu with wine pairings - this is the Douro river valley. Every course was meticulously prepared with interesting and unique ingredients that made each mouthful tastefully exquisite.

An absolutely delicious lunch with the most attentive service we have ever received in a restaurant. We had a lovely table looking out on the river. Highly recommend this gem.
Be the first to ReplyImpeccable service and great food
I was driving along when I came across this restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food delicious. My soup was so hot, fresh from the kitchen. There is a camera on the kitchen playing on a big screen so you can see what's going on. What a treat this was for me.
Be the first to ReplyOne of our best dining experiences ever!
During a leisurely drive along N222--a road that winds along the Douro River from Porto to Pinhao that's rated amongst the most scenic roads in the world--we stumbled across DOC. Its stunning riverside location and views, sun-drenched deck overhanging the river, and gourmet menu drew us right in. Service was impeccable--absolutely first-class. Everything about our lunch--from appetizers to desserts--was positively brilliant, innovative, and incredibly delicious. Our servers brought us gratis starters and sweets--added punctuation to an exquisite, unforgettable dining experience--one of the best we've ever had.
