Restaurante Blind

BLIND- the best fine-dining restaurant in Porto

The Chef refines the food, while our guests enrich the senses

Inaugurated in 2020, BLIND is a tribute to writer José Saramago’s "Blindness" and an invitation to take a journey that goes beyond the palate.

In Blind, we interpret gastronomy as an experience that involves emotions, memories and all the senses.

We offer our BLIND EMOTIONS tasting menu with 10 or 12 moments, an ever-changing culinary experience full of surprises created by Chef Vitor Matos, which intrigues all by the remarkable and unforgettable staging at the time of tasting.

In turn, the bar, which stands in the middle of BLIND and is open from 11:30 a.m. to midnight, is the perfect host for the signature cocktails and Cigar Menu and acts as an antechamber for the outdoor tables beside the pool.
