Chef Francisco Quintas

Nestled within the historic 5-star Casa da Calçada Relais & Châteaux hotel in Amarante, Largo do Paço stands as one of Portugal's most distinguished fine dining establishments. This Michelin-starred restaurant occupies a place of profound culinary significance, seamlessly blending the grandeur of its historic setting with contemporary gastronomic excellence.

Under the masterful direction of Chef Francisco Quintas, notably the youngest Portuguese chef to earn a Michelin star, the restaurant has evolved into a beacon of modern Portuguese cuisine. Quintas brings a refined yet approachable philosophy to the kitchen, transforming traditional home cooking into sophisticated culinary artistry that respects heritage while embracing innovation.

The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, featuring contemporary design elements with bare tables and modern details that create an intimate yet refined dining environment. Located just minutes from Porto and the Douro Valley, Largo do Paço offers guests an exclusive fine dining experience that serves as a culinary journey without borders, guided by curiosity and emotion in the discovery of extraordinary flavors.

The establishment's commitment to excellence is reflected not only in its Michelin recognition but also in its association with the prestigious Relais & Châteaux network, ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience meets the highest international standards of hospitality and gastronomy.
