We are partnering with Pedro Lemos to open a pop-up restaurant at Quinta do Bomfim

We are pleased to announce that we are collaborating with the Michelin-starred chef, Pedro Lemos, to open Casa dos Ecos, a new pop-up restaurant at our Quinta do Bomfim in the Douro.

 

The pop-up at Casa dos Ecos (Echo House) will showcase the best of seasonal Douro produce. Pedro Lemos will use locally-sourced produce to develop a constantly changing menu over the course of four months – from summer through autumn, including the busy harvest period. The pop-up will serve regional Douro dishes using traditional techniques, including wood-fired cooking. The menu will be matched with our exceptional portfolio of Douro wines and Ports. 

 

Casa dos Ecos is located on a ridge among the vineyards with a magnificent view of the Douro River at one of the our most iconic estates, Quinta do Bomfim – famous for producing Dow’s Ports. Five generations of our family have farmed this estate for over a century. The pop-up aims to create a unique space for people to experience authentic Douro culture in an informal setting. 

 

Johnny Symington, Chairman of Symington Family Estates, commented: 

 

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with the talented Pedro Lemos on such an exciting project that showcases the best of the Douro. We feel the timing is right for the pop-up as people begin travelling again and look for more rural retreats, rather than the busier cities and beaches. The location is perfect for the necessary COVID-19 safety measures, as most of the guests will be able to eat outside on the terrace.” 

 

Pedro Lemos commented:

 

"After twelve years, it is with great pleasure that I am returning to the Douro to share my vision of the cuisine from the region. Ever since I first visited Casa dos Ecos at Quinta do Bomfim, I have always felt that it had the potential to become a very special space, where people could enjoy the best that the Douro has to offer: landscape, wine and food. I am very pleased that the Symington family accepted this challenge and helped make this pop-up restaurant at Casa dos Ecos a reality. Welcome to the Douro. I’ll be waiting for you here!"

 

The pop-up will launch on Saturday 18th July. It will be open from Tuesday to Sunday: 12h00 – 21h00 (until mid-November). The restaurant will operate under the health measures established by the Portuguese government and health service.

 

Prior reservation is required.
