The story
Vila Foz is a contemporary restaurant at Avenida De Montevideu 236 in Porto, inside the Vila Foz Hotel & Spa in Foz do Douro. The Michelin Guide awarded it one star in 2026 for high quality cooking.
Chef Arnaldo Azevedo leads the kitchen. The Kitchen Seat lets guests sit at the counter and watch him build his signature dishes. The restaurant describes its cooking as a sequence of textures and flavours, and its signature cuisine draws on the flavours of the Atlantic.
The hotel buys from local producers with designation of origin and cooks to the season, according to its sustainability pages. Restaurant menus are adjusted to reduce food waste. The hotel occupies a restored 19th-century manor house, with a contemporary building alongside it. The listing also notes vegetarian dishes and takeaway.
