Casa de Chá da Boa Nova
Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, Michelin-starred restaurant in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal
Casa de Chá da Boa Nova is a restaurant in Leça da Palmeira built directly on coastal rocks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with dining spaces designed to frame views of the water. The concrete structure sits low against the landscape, making the ocean an integral part of the dining experience.
The building was designed by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira in 1963 and later protected as a National Monument of Portugal. Its innovative concrete design marked a turning point for modern architecture on this coast.
The restaurant draws from Portuguese literary traditions and celebrates the maritime heritage that defines the region. Diners experience how ocean and culture intertwine in the local identity through each dish served.
The restaurant sits directly on coastal rocks, so expect ocean spray during windy or stormy weather as part of the setting. Access is via stairs from the parking area, and the waterside location means views change with the seasons and tide.
The kitchen works with local fish species and seasonal ingredients sourced directly from fishermen in the area. This direct connection to the sea shapes how every menu is built and changes throughout the year.
