Seiva

Located just steps from the beach in Leça da Palmeira, in Porto's coastal heart, Seiva presents a contemporary vegetarian cuisine that celebrates the seasons and creative culinary artistry. Under the guidance of Chef David Jesus, this innovative restaurant has earned recognition in the Michelin Guide for its passionate commitment to plant-based gastronomy.

Chef David Jesus defends with incredible fervor the philosophy that exceptional cuisine can be created using what the natural habitat provides. His vegan and vegetarian approach transforms local, seasonal ingredients into sophisticated dishes that challenge traditional culinary boundaries. The restaurant offers two exclusive tasting menus - an eight-course and an eleven-course experience - alongside à la carte options, each designed to provide complete immersion into the chef's creative and authorial approach.

The menu features inventive dishes such as kimchi nigiri, expertly crafted croquettes with creamy centers and superb textures, and the signature 'cuttlefish from my roots' with rice tagliatelle and passion fruit curry. Seiva's commitment to sustainability and seasonality creates a dining experience that connects guests with nature while delivering world-class vegetarian gastronomy.

The restaurant's name, which means 'sap' in Portuguese, pays homage to the profession of resin collectors, reflecting the establishment's deep connection to natural ingredients and traditional Portuguese heritage reimagined through a contemporary lens.
