A restaurant stop in World of Wine

WOW is part of Porto’s World of Wine district in Vila Nova de Gaia, across the Douro River from Porto. The district brings museums, restaurants, bars, shops and wine cellars together in former Port wine cellars. It gives you a place to pause for a meal or drink while exploring the area.

The wider district has museums about Portuguese wine regions, cork, chocolate, Porto’s history and rosé wine. Choose a museum to suit your interests, then plan a meal at WOW as part of the same outing.

What to order

The cod baked with cream and cheese is one of the suggested dishes, alongside a special hot dog. Rosé sangria is another option if you want a drink with your meal. Port wine is also a reason to stop for a glass while you rest from exploring.

Service can take longer than expected, so leave room in your schedule. Check the bill for a suggested service fee; the supplied information says it is not compulsory.
