For those who want to sip while overlooking the Douro River in a super intimate setting, Wine Quay Bar is a must-visit. This cute, rustic, hole-in-the-wall venue features a carefully curated selection of wines, focusing on local varieties that showcase the best of Portuguese viticulture. A word of advice, last time we visited, they only took payment in cash.
The atmosphere is warm, unpretentious and inviting, making it a perfect spot for going solo, a romantic evening or a casual gathering with a small group of friends. Knowledgeable staff, led by the charismatic Filipa Fernandes, ensures that guests really feel at home. Sitting balcony-style facing the stunning river views is divine — sip delicious wines whilst nibbling on a charcuterie board.
