Best Restaurants & Bars in Ribeira Porto 2026
UNESCO riverside dining with a view - where port wine meets the Douro
Updated weekly
About Ribeira
Ribeira is Porto's postcard - the UNESCO-listed riverside quarter where colourful medieval houses tumble down to the Douro River, and the iconic Dom Luis I Bridge frames every photograph.
Today, Ribeira's cobblestone maze hides a mix of tourist traps and genuine gems. Behind the obvious riverfront terraces, narrow alleyways conceal family-run tascas serving the same recipes for generations.
The wine bars here specialise in port, with tastings ranging from simple ruby to 40-year-old tawnies. The magic hour is sunset - book a riverside table early and watch the bridge light up.
