Set within a historic 19th-century estate and framed by lush gardens overlooking the Douro River, Antiqvvm is a Michelin-starred restaurant that blends poetic cuisine with serene elegance. Located just minutes from Porto’s city center, this refined destination is a place where time slows down, flavors speak louder, and every plate is a tribute to Portugal’s culinary soul.
For travelers visiting the north of Portugal, a meal at Antiqvvm is not only a highlight — it’s a true immersion into Porto’s growing gastronomic prestige.
A Star with Heart and Heritage
Antiqvvm holds one Michelin star, awarded for the vision and artistry of Chef Vítor Matos, whose culinary journey is deeply rooted in Portuguese tradition, elevated by technical precision and seasonal creativity.
His menus — available à la carte or through tasting options — evolve with the rhythms of nature and the regional calendar. Ingredients are locally sourced, sometimes foraged, and often feature lesser-known treasures from the Portuguese landscape.
Expect compositions such as foie gras with green apple and hazelnuts, pigeon with truffle and red berries, or a delicate codfish reinterpretation — all artfully plated and rich in layered flavor.
“Every dish told a story. Antiqvvm is more than a restaurant — it’s a masterpiece.”
— Review from Julia L., Vancouver
Romance and Views in Every Detail
The setting at Antiqvvm is among the most beautiful of any Michelin restaurant in Portugal. Surrounded by manicured gardens and century-old trees, the restaurant offers both indoor elegance and open-air terrace seating, with sweeping views of the Douro River and the city’s rooftops beyond.
Inside, the dining room blends antique architecture with contemporary style — warm woods, subtle lighting, and spacious tables designed for unhurried meals. The experience feels personal, refined, and deeply peaceful.
Wine, Pairings, and Passion
Of course, no visit to Porto is complete without exploring its exceptional wine heritage, and Antiqvvm delivers on this front with an expertly curated list of over 500 Portuguese and international labels. The sommelier team is knowledgeable yet approachable — always ready to pair each course with something truly memorable, including top-tier Ports and rare Douro reds.
