Vinum is a celebration of the best food that the Trás-os-Montes region, Northern Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean has to offer. Each dish is specially created to be paired with the Douro’s fine wines. In 2013, Vinum’s first year, the restaurant was awarded the national award for the Best Wine Restaurant at the prestigious Best of Wine Tourism Awards.
Centuries of devotion to the Douro and the accumulated knowledge of its wines has led Graham’s to create Vinum Restaurant & Wine Bar, in partnership with the Sagardi Group, international experts in wine-related gastronomy. Vinum opened its doors in February 2013 and forms an integral part of the renovated 1890 Lodge.
With only a glass screen separating the restaurant from the working Lodge, it provides an atmospheric setting in which to enjoy delicious food with some wonderful wines.
Only the best natural ingredients that can be sourced in northern Portugal are used, and fresh fish from the local Matosinhos harbour is served daily. In the stylish Vinum Wine Bar you can also enjoy a variety of tapas, pintxos or sweet pastries.
The glass atrium has one of the very best views of any restaurant in Gaia and Porto: spectacular both during the day and the night, when all the medieval landmarks are beautifully floodlit. There is also an open-air terrace, ideal for enjoying Porto’s year-round sunshine with a glass of chilled white wine, or perhaps a lightly chilled Old Tawny Port.
