Bomfim 1896

A collaboration between Chef Pedro Lemos and the family of the Symington Estate, Bomfim 1896 is a light and airy barn overlooking the rolling hills of the Douro Valley. Large wood-burning ovens sit at the heart of the kitchen, replicating the quinta (farm) lifestyle of Portugal, and although the menu feels laid-back, every dish is immaculate. Lemos has perfected the lobster rice, soft and risotto-like, while the smoked eel brioche with apple and radish is delicate and offers a perfect balance between sweet and salty. For dessert, layered puff pastry with smoked whipped cream and salted caramel doesn’t get much better than the celestial millefeuille.
