Digby

For a special dinner in Miragaia with ringside views of the river, Digby in the flash new Torel Avantgarde hotel comes up trumps. Service is attentive without being overbearing and the food features big Portuguese flavours in dishes such as monkfish with clams and suckling pig with chestnuts. There's a lovely terrace for warm-weather dining. Vegetarians and children are well catered for.
