French fine dining restaurant & suites in Porto
In the heart of Porto, Vila Camélia is a character-filled house where French gastronomy, the art of living, and elegant hospitality come together. More than just a restaurant, Vila Camélia offers a complete experience designed for lovers of refined cuisine, great wines, and authentic moments to share.
Our French restaurant in Porto, led by chef Enrico Lestuzzi (one Michelin star for eleven years in Strasbourg, France), showcases a cuisine inspired by the great traditions of French gastronomy, reinterpreted with sensitivity and modernity. Our menus and dishes evolve with the seasons and the chef’s inspiration, highlighting carefully selected products, precise cooking, and true artisanal know-how.
Each plate reflects a balance between generosity, elegance, and authenticity, offering a sophisticated and sincere culinary experience, faithful to the spirit of contemporary French gastronomy. From lunch to gastronomic dinners, every moment at the table is conceived as an invitation to travel and discovery.
The house’s cuisine is naturally complemented by a selection of French wines, a true signature of Vila Camélia. The great wine regions — Burgundy, Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Rhône Valley, Alsace, and Champagne — make up a carefully curated cellar designed for both enthusiasts and experts. Alongside them, the cellar holds Portuguese wines and a collection of rare old Ports, including Constantino 1900, Burmester 1920, Butler & Nephew 1927 and Noval 1960. We highlight passionate winemakers, wines of character, and thoughtfully crafted food and wine pairings, turning each meal into a true oenological experience.
