  • 1. Castas e Pratos

    $$$

    In a former railroad warehouse by Régua station, Castas e Pratos is the first and best of a row of eateries to move into the long, timber structure. Snack on the first floor at a high table or climb the wooden stairs to the large mezzanine for a sit-down meal; the sophisticated flavors and presentation are sure to delight you. You could start with a ceviche of tuna, shrimp and sea bass, or a seared scallop with pea purée, then move on to delicately flavored brill with cockle rice, or one of the delicious slow-cooked meat dishes, such as veal cheeks. There are always tasty vegan options, too. For dessert, "O Ovo" (The Egg) hatches a sweet surprise. There are some 650 wines to choose from, the vast majority from the Douro, including local bubbly.
