About
Barao Fladgate Restaurant enjoys a spectacular location and atmospheric setting in the grounds of Taylor's Port cellars with magnificent views across the Douro River to the old historic centre of Porto. It offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional cuisine where the accent is on fresh local ingredients and on showcasing the authentic flavours of Portugal. The wine list features a wide variety of labels from the main Portuguese vineyard areas and, as would be expected, a comprehensive choice of both wood-aged and Vintage Ports.

We’d read about this restaurant experience online and made it a priority. We were not disappointed. From the moment we were greeted at the door we felt special. The servers act as a team so you never feel ignored.
We opted for the chef’s menu, each item being paired with a port, and it was delicious. We especially liked the scallops, but every item was superb.
It’s an upscale place so not inexpensive, but worth every Euro.

My husbamd and I just had diner at the Barao Fladgate restaurant and this was truly a 5 stars experience. Although a bit far from the usuak tourist pathway, the Barao Fladgate offers a truly jnique experience. For around 50€ you can get a true gastronomic menue taht has been built by a great chef around the specificncharasreristics of the Taylor’s Fladgate Port wines. Eachbciurse has its own port wine pairing and the experience is built so that the food perfectly complements thebwine and vice versa. And if you are traditional portuguese food, there are also some options for you on the menu. Service was absolutely perfect and even though this may look like an upscale restaurant, you will be welcome no matter how yoûre dressed and even with children. Enjoy!

We discovered this place by chance and the fact that it was lunchtime.
On entering the restaurant you are greeted like you are a millionaire but the expectation is far from it, we decided on the tasting menu.
The food and accompanying wines/ports left nothing but amazement. The chef should be put forward for Michelin Star, the preparation, food and explanations given by table staff were nothing short of perfection.
For such a meal you can expect a realistic price, it is and was the treat of the holiday.
Thank you and I hope everyone visiting Porto ventures to the Taylors cellars restaurant.

We booked lunch in this restaurant for after our tour of the Taylor’s port lodge. We had viewed the set lunch menu online & thought it was a good option 3 courses & a class of wine for €32 . On arrival we where seated & offered a aperitif by pleasant staff ( but beware a glass of champagne was €25) but waited about 15 minutes for a menu & the restaurant was half empty. There was no lunch menu only a much more expensive a la carte menu. On asking for the set menu the staff attitude towards us changed & they seemed to look down at us. The food was excellent but to have your food almost thrown at you by snotty staff is unacceptable & spoiled what would have been a lovely lunch.

This restaurant is part of Taylor’s wine cellars. We went on Christmas Day for dinner. The views over Cais de Gaia and Porto are amazing!
We really enjoyed the vegetarian feijoada (bean stew) and the pappardelle with oyster mushroom and black truffle, as well as the aveludado of black chanterelles (cream of mushroom soup).
The wine list is not extensive but interesting: we had a Soalheiro sparkling rosé wine (vinho verde) and finished with Port wine (LBV 2014 and Vintage 2008) as dessert.
Service was friendly, but not as attentive as one would expect in such a high-end restaurant.

This was by far and away the best food we had in the greater Porto area. We visited for lunch service which allows ordering from the ala carte menu or a set menu. We ordered the rack of pork and the beef tenderloin and both were cooked to perfection. The service was really top notch. The sommelier provided us with a great recommendation on local wine from the Douro Valley. Dessert was a banana cheesecake that was really interesting and not a bite was left on the plate. Really delicious food! The view is a commanding one that allows you to take in the view of the whole city of Porto and down the river towards the ocean. We followed it up by heading to the tasting room to have a glass of 40 year old tawny port. I will think about this meal for a long time!

I went to this restaurant last week and warned them in advance that I was allergic to gluten/have Coeliac Disease. When I arrived they told me they could adapt everything to my needs and to chose whatever they wanted, so I chose the Taylor's tasting menu. However, I was then told after 20 minutes that this could not be adapted at all, so I then chose a sea bass starter, then the pork. My starter came and the waitress brought me a duck starter, which she said was better for me - but I did not want a duck starter, followed by pork and she did not even offer to change it for seabass. The duck and the pork were severely lacking in flavour and my daugher's scallop starter was also very bland. However, the lemon pannacotta desert was delicious. The restaurant kindly did not charge me for the starter and desert, but the entire experience was very stressful and clearly they are not able to deal well with allergies.

This place is worthy of Michelin stars, food is exceptional and a chef with great knowledge of ingredients and composition of dishes. We were blown away with the foil gras, royal crab and scallops, octopus, pear salad, chocolate desert with almond sorbet. Service was smooth and faultless, a culinary institution. If in Porto then it’s a place you must visit and not just for the view as in my opinion this place serves serious food. Bravo chef...

This is a very stylish and elegant restaurant located at Taylor’s Port Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia. The view is absolutely magnificent, and if the weather is appropriate ask for a table on the terrace. From there you get both a striking view of Porto and the Douro river, and, if you come for dinner, a splendid sunset. One can spend a lot of money here, but we chose not to. There is a very interesting prix fixe menu for a modest amount that marries each course with a different port. They are trying to make the case, with considerable success, that port is not just a dessert wine but can be successfully paired with all courses in a meal. I am not a convert – – I’ll still drink table wine with my appetizer and main dish! – – but it was a very interesting and enjoyable experiment. And as one would expect, the selection of ports is excellent, although I cannot comment on the dry table wines, since we had none!

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The team sat us at the best table in the restaurant with magnificent views over the Ponto Luis I bridge - seeing the vista change from dusk to dark.
We enjoyed the fact that the menu was concise and you’re not overwhelmed with choice - made selecting our dishes really easy.
The sommelier, Riccardo was very friendly and knowledgable - he recommended a fantastic wine to go with my turbot dish.
The food is beautifully presented and was full of flavour. We can’t fault our experience. Even enjoyed a little display from the resident peacock which was a nice surprise!
If you struggle with mobility / steep steps you will undoubtedly benefit from getting a taxi to the restaurant as the cobbled streets through Gaia, while beautiful, are a little precarious.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Porto / Gaia

This was truly a wonderful experience. Excellent food, incredible views and a beautifully designed restaurant attached to Taylor’s Port Lodge. What really elevated it all was the service. The staff were thoughtful and considerate to our tastes, made great recommendations and were passionate and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine. A great sommelier and really wonderful staff. Loved it

We booked this for a special meal after touring Taylor’s port lodge in the late afternoon. The weather was awful and we were soaked by the time we arrived for the tour but thankfully, having part-dried by the time we arrived at the restaurant, the food and port pairings made the trip worthwhile. (Un)fortunately, a number of people cancelled due to the weather, which left us with a wonderful personalised dining experience. The food tasted as god as it looked and the sommelier made personal port recommendations based on individual dishes chosen. I wasn’t 100% sure with the port recommended for my desert having sampled it, but when the desert arrived it was a perfect match.

Was so looking forward to lunch here after a port tasting and tour at Taylors. Unfortunately, it was a really negative experience -- the only bad note in our entire 2 week Portugal vacation. I was seated at an outdoor table with a nice view, but was given only the wine list, water, and 2 pieces of bread while waiting for my waitress to come to my table for more than 35 minutes! I almost left at that point, but just then she finally came by and gave me a menu and offered olive oil and a spread (by then my bread was LONG gone). She only spoke one sentence to me when taking my order, then hurried off. My food was brought to the table by another server, and the waitress never came back to check in on me for the rest of the meal. Not once. Really appalling service for one of the most expensive restaurants in Porto. I would choose another spot for lunch if I were you.

Based upon previous reviews we expected the food and wine to be good and we were not disappointed. Also the staff were very friendly and informative - telling us about the food and wine being served. The views over Porto were excellent and we were even treated to a some fireworks.....of course I cant guarantee that happens every night. We had the Duck starter and the Venison for main course. We also tried the 1968 Tawny port, not the cheapest port I have ever bought, but very nice!

Service was very poor druing our visit. There was just one senior waiter/sommelier in the dining room with a bunch of junior assistants. We needed a second bottel of wine with dinner but service was so slow we sent it back as our meals were finished by the time somebody came around to open it. The dining room wasn't crowded but there was a wedding going on next door and that might have been where the other waiters were. The food was fine and the 20 year port for dessert was great but I had to walk up to the wait stand to pay my bill. This was one of the few times I felt absolutely fine leaving no tip for the waiter because I didn't have a waiter.
