Set on Rua de Cedofeita – one of Porto’s more independent, design-leaning streets – Casa Cedo takes over a restored 19th-century townhouse reworked in a beautiful way to preserve its original bones. At street level, it opens as a working flower shop, where arrangements shift with the seasons and spill into the windows. The house itself is small – just eight rooms, each named after aflower, with bespoke pieces made locally and a focus on details and objects that feel collected over time. 

A 16-seat, U-shaped sushi counter fills the ground floor of a residential building just beyond Porto's historic centre. Chef Vasco Coelho Santos (also behind Euskalduna Studio, one of the city's most creative kitchens) now runs Kaigi in the spirit of a Japanese izakaya, with Nikkei leanings and Portuguese produce. The nine-course tasting menu follows the day's best ingredients: freshly caught fish, Hokkaido toast with fermented pepper and cherry tsukemono, and a sweet potato crème brûlée to finish.
