Looking for advice on Michelin-starred restaurants in Porto or Lisbon that are worth the time and money.
For instance, I looked at Restaurante Casa de Chá da Boa Nova with a gorgeous ocean front and amazing food experience AND it’s 30 minutes outside Porto.
I’m 100% willing to spend $$$ and energy on amazing food experiences but also can be just as happy at a delicious, cozy, locally owned small restaurant.
If you’ve been to a Michelin-starred in Lisbon or Porto that’s totally worth it, I’d love to know!

No recommendations for that area, but I wanted to share that we had lunch at a Michelin starred restaurant in France where entrees ranged from 16€ for pasta with salmon to 34€ for steak. Everything was fabulous and quite reasonable, compared to places in the US, and lots of other places we ate at during our trip. My point is that just because it has a Michelin star doesn’t mean it is going to be $$$.
I hope you find someplace amazing.

Good point, @travelforfun, and I’d love to find such a place!
@Marika - thanks for pointing me in that direction! We’ll be in the Duoro Valley for a couple of nights so I’ll check it out.
