In the refined and timeless atmosphere of Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia Hotel, 1638 Restaurant & Wine Bar is a stage of Iberian haute cuisine. Here, Chef Nacho Manzano, a three-Michelin-star winner at Casa Marcial, artfully combines the flavours of his Asturian culinary heritage with the Atlantic richness of the Portuguese coast and the finest Kopke wines.

Through an ever-evolving menu, the restaurant’s fine dining concept offers a carefully crafted journey through the Porto region and Northern Spain, weaving together emotions, textures, flavours, contrasts, and fragrances to highlight the essence of each ingredient and elevate it to a new level. Panoramic views of Porto, soft lighting and flawless service invite you to linger while bespoke wine pairing options echo each dish’s character.

Named for Kopke’s founding year, 1638 Restaurant & Wine Bar is both homage and revelation: a sensory journey where time slows, flavours endure, and a unique Iberian bond unites the sea breeze with high mountain pastures.

THE CHEF

Born in La Salgar, Asturias, Chef Nacho Manzano started his culinary journey in his family kitchen. With his sisters Esther and Sandra, he transformed Casa Marcial from a rustic village sidrería into one of Spain’s most celebrated dining establishments, earning its first Michelin star in 1999, a second in 2009, and a highly sought-after third in 2024. The Manzano family has since expanded their gastronomic ventures with Gloria in Oviedo and Gijón, Narbasu Restaurant & Hotel (Green Michelin Star), and NM Restaurant (one star).

Manzano’s cuisine is a heartfelt ode to the Asturian landscape.

Carefully sourced mountain herbs, garden vegetables, and coastal seafood are elevated by precise, respectful techniques. His close collaboration with local producers, commitment to short supply chains, and steadfast dedication to environmental sustainability have earned him Michelin’s Green Star for sustainability.

Today, that same vision guides every dish at Tivoli Kopke, where Chef Manzano curates the tasting experiences of 1638 Restaurant & Wine Bar and the panoramic Boa Vista Terrace.

Located in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from Porto’s UNESCO World Heritage city centre, Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia Hotel offers a rich heritage of its own. Once home to centuries-old port wine cellars and warehouses, this area has transformed into a vibrant hub of wining and dining, with our hotel at its very heart.
