Traditional recipes come to life at Renata, where the flavors of Portugal meet inspirations from the cuisines that crossed the country’s history. Each dish is a tribute to memory, reimagined with boldness and creativity.
The Concept
Renata’s dishes shine at their best when paired with wines from our cellar. Each combination is crafted to elevate the flavors and celebrate the essence of Portuguese and Lusophone gastronomy.
Daughter of the Douro, of Porto, of family recipes and secrets kept in old kitchens. She loves to break routines, mix flavors, and dance with tradition.
The menu is inspired not only from Portuguese roots but also from the countries shaped by its influence — a journey of tastes that is at once familiar and beautifully unexpected.
Our chef
João Vieira
With a rich background in renowned hotel kitchens, as well as contributing to revitalizing dining on the luxury ship Spirit of Chartwell, Chef João now leads the project of Renata Restaurant at Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection. His approach is bold: he revisits Portuguese roots and blends them with flavors from the Lusophone world, creating dishes that are at once familiar and surprising.
Our wine cellar comprises a wide selection of Portuguese and international references carefully chosen by our Head Sommelier.
