The Restaurant at The Yeatman: Oporto’s first Michelin Star

Big congratulations to Chef Ricardo Costa and The Fladgate Partnership, owners of The Yeatman hotel. On Thursday night it was announced that The Restaurant at The Yeatman has become one of only twelve Portuguese restaurants awarded Michelin stars in the 2012 edition of Michelin Spain and Portugal.  It is also the first restaurant in Oporto to win a Michelin star.
 
Chef Ricardo Costa previously worked in Casa do Calçada in Amarante, which had won a Michelin star.  His menu, which I’m now especially looking forward to sampling next week, puts a contemporary twist on classical Portuguese flavours and dishes.  I shall let you know how I go!
