What is Bistro Terrace?
Bistro Terrace is a seasonal bistro that operates during the summer. It is the newest
addition to Quinta do Tedo, a small, but renown family-owned, red wine, porto and olive-oil
producing winery. We also have a Bed & Breakfast with 4 rooms and 1 apartment. The winery;
its terraced vineyards and lush olive orchards overlook the Tedo and Douro rivers. Locals and
tourists love Quinta do Tedo for its fine products, personalized tours and tastings, friendly staff
and beautiful scenery. We are conveniently located along the main road between Pinhao and
Regua and are busy 7 days a week from 10.00-19.00 during the summer.
Bistro Terrace began as a mother-daughter run experiment in July 2015. It had
immediate success and thus reopened as an official seasonal bistro in June 2016, to run every
summer during the busy tourist season from April/May-October. This summer will be different.
We plan to develop the bistro’s success, opening it for a longer period with a more professional
staff. Moreover, this summer marks the inauguration of our recently re-modelled kitchen and
dining area.
We cater to a wide variety of guests, ranging from our Bed & Breakfast guests, to tasting
room customers and tourists who have either heard of our reputation or are merely passing by
looking for good food with an amazing view and professional, friendly service.

style while gaining experience working in a professional setting with important
responsibilities running a kitchen and leading a team.
