Vasco Coelho Santos is the chef that every gourmet should visit. His restaurant Euskalduna Studio is a destination in itseft.

The chef and his talented team will welcome you like a friend in his studio, By the way, you ring the bell at the door in order to be opened and welcomed by the chef and his team.

Inside the restaurant you be seated at either on the counter or at the two tables near the entrance.

The chef has modeled his restaurant like a kaiseki restaurant in Japan where he traveled durng two months and half to discover Japanese culture and its culinary richness.

The dinner menu was composed of ten dishes, you have the choice to look at every dish to be served or to be surprised by flipping the welcoming card giving to the guess.

We are not going to mention every dish, but each dish served was well balanced in terms of tastes and flavor; and most of all perfectly cooked and proportionated.

There were few dishes that really stand out for us was the rabbit in a fried ravioli and a revisited Christmas Portuguese pudding.The cooking of Vasco Coelho Santos is highly creative and inventive, extremely well thought.

The wine list is very interesting with a superb offer on regional and local goodies.

The service was impeccable, very instructive and very nice.

Euskalduna Studio is a must visit when you are in Porto and Vasco Coelho Santos represents a new generation of chefs who are smarts, thoughtful, connected to their environments and well traveled.
