In the heart of Vila Real, the Cais da Villa restaurant is a true temple of gastronomy, where tradition meets innovation with every dish served. One of the great secrets behind the restaurant’s success is its commitment to using local ingredients, which not only guarantee the freshness and quality of the dishes, but also reflect the richness and diversity of the flavours of the Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro region.
At Cais da Villa, the culinary philosophy revolves around the valorisation of local products. The Chef and his team believe that the best dishes start with the best ingredients, and nothing is fresher or more authentic than what is produced nearby. This choice is not just a matter of gastronomic preference, but also a commitment to sustainability and support for regional producers.
The region’s typical pork is one of the stars of the menu. Its unique characteristics are explored in dishes that celebrate the culinary tradition of Trás-os-Montes.
Seasonality is a fundamental concept in our restaurant. The menu is adapted according to the seasons, which allows the restaurant to always offer the best at each time of year.
To complete the experience, the dishes at Cais da Villa are harmonised with wines produced in the Douro region itself. Known worldwide for the excellence of its wines, the restaurant’s wine list is carefully selected to complement the intense and authentic flavours of the local ingredients.
As well as offering an unforgettable gastronomic experience, Cais da Villa also stands out for its commitment to the local community. The restaurant contributes to the regional economy and helps preserve the agricultural traditions that are an essential part of Trás-os-Montes’ identity.
