DOC | Experience
BEM VINDO AO DOC JANELA SOBRE O DOURO O DOC é um espaço para “Degustar Ousar Comunicar” onde Rui Paula, com um olhar moderno e inventivo, faz da cozinha um laboratório histórico baseado em várias gerações de receitas culinárias. Aqui, cada refeição é um momento único e especial. Da sala envidraçada ou da esplanada suspensa no rio, a vista é arrebatadora: os socalcos de vinhas e xisto, a pacatez das aldeias ribeirinhas, os comboios a passar na outra margem quebrando, momentaneamente, a quietude do vale, os barcos de grande porte levando os turistas para lá do Douro Internacional… O DOC funciona como uma janela aberta sobre este cenário arrebatador, classificado como Património da Humanidade pela UNESCO, em 2011.

Our menu contains all the great wines produced in the Douro, from the mythical “Barca Velha” to the most exclusive and unique port wine. With more than 700 references, DOC is the most complete repository of the best that is produced in the region, a true Douro wine showcase. Our offer also includes the great wines of the world and of  the neighboring regions – Dão and Vinho Verde.
