    Had the tasting menu after our tour and it was an excellent blend of tastes with the appropriate port wine. Having LBV with the meat was particularly good.

    Service was a bit sloppy, waited for a senior person before we could be seated when other staff members were free, took longer than would have liked to get our order taken, starter of foil gras was different presentation to the one we had two days earlier, main course of turbot was overpowered by the sea urchin especially when there were other ingredients such as orange blossom and chocolate, fish was also overcooked...

    Our visit to Barao Fladgate turned out to be most memorable, food exceptional and service faultless. A definite must if you are in Porto, the wonderful combination of ingredients and creativity is magical

    Lovely restaurant great service OK food. Why restaurants let children under the age of one year old into dinner after 8pm amazes me. Lovely view and occasion spoiled by children playing and shouting. This was a grown restaurant not a fanily eatery. Please take note.

    Thank you for your comment. Your feedback is very important for us, so we can keep seeking for continuous improvement of our service.

    We had booked a table in the UK to follow a tour of the winery ,after tasting two ports in the tasting room we went to the restaurant the views over Porto were amazing from our table we could see across the river Porto all lit up a wonderful view, the restaurant staff were very professional, helpful with recommendations to the menu and explained the choices, we went for port menu with three ports a different one with each course, first class food first class staff first class venue , would recommend this any time . Well done Taylor’s

    The servers are very kindly and enthusiastic. Fish is delicious but lamb has too poor smell to eat. Thus I can’t enjoy my main dish. However gluten free bread is very good. The one thing that is unfortunate is what I want is Roasted potato not fried ( I didn't want to eat the extra payment). However, kindness is the best.

    This restaurant is part of Taylor’s wine cellars. We went on Christmas Day for dinner. The views over Cais de Gaia and Porto are amazing! We really enjoyed the vegetarian feijoada (bean stew) and the pasta with mushroom, as well as the aveludado of black chanterelles. The wine list is not extensive but interesting: we had a Soalheiro sparkling rosé wine (vinho verde) and finished with Port wine (LBV 2014 and Vintage 2008) as dessert. Service was friendly, but not as attentive as one would expect in such a high-end restaurant.

    What a lovely lunch! Food was fantastic and the setting is beautiful. Could not have been better. A very elegant room with large windows and beautiful views down to the river. And, of course, an excellent port selection!

    We couldn’t be more proud of this review. We thank you very much for your great comments.

    The restaurant has the amazing view of downtown Porto, Ponte de Luis I and Castelo do Mosteiro . Spacious table setting, you can enjoy privately. The wines quality are good and foods are delicious with beautiful platings. The Pear, the silky moose desert should not be missed.

    Barão Fladgate

    We’re happy to hear about your great experience with us. Thank you very much.

About the restaurant

Barão Fladgate Restaurant enjoys a spectacular location and atmospheric setting in the grounds of Taylor’s Port cellars with magnificent views across the Douro River to the old historic centre of Porto. It offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional cuisine where the accent is on fresh local ingredients and on showcasing the authentic flavours of Portugal. The wine list features a wide variety of labels from the main Portuguese vineyard areas and, as would be expected, a comprehensive choice of both wood-aged and Vintage Ports. In summer, Barão Fladgate opens its al fresco terrace area where guests can enjoy a choice of light dishes while enjoying the spectacular panorama of the old city.

Named after John Fladgate, the celebrated 19th century Port shipper and partner of Taylor’s who was awarded the title of Baron for his services to viticulture, the Barão Fladgate restaurant celebrates 20 years of inspiring fine cuisine and excellent service.
