What 17 Is
The 17th and 18th floors of Hotel Dom Henrique, 150 meters above sea level. No other bar in central Porto drinks from this altitude.
The Rooftop Guide calls it the best rooftop bar Porto has to offer. Time Out keeps it on its Porto rooftop shortlist for the same reason: a glassed 360 degree room that works in January, plus two open terraces when the weather allows.
The restaurant level serves Portuguese and Mediterranean cooking. The bar level above it serves the skyline.
Reading the Room
Glass on all sides, the ocean visible to the west on clear days.
One terrace sits at restaurant level, a second at bar level. Tripadvisor's recurring review title is some version of perfect rooftop, and the elevator ride is part of the show.
The Menu, Edited
Bar bites cover the gap between drinks and dinner. Tripadvisor reviewers rate prices fair for the view, which is the correct frame.
Who Shows Up, and When
Hotel guests and couples at dinner. Locals use the bar level for sunset and special occasion rounds.
Smart casual is enforced gently but enforced. Sneakers pass; beachwear does not.
What Regulars Say
- The Rooftop Guide ranks it first among Porto rooftops and notes the year round indoor room.
- Tripadvisor reviewers call dining here a splurge with a reasonable bill for the standard.
- Falstaff lists the restaurant level among Porto's notable hotel dining rooms.
- The repeated complaint is wind on the upper terrace; the glassed room solves it.
Who It Is For
- The anniversary dinner that needs a skyline behind it.
- Anyone who wants Porto mapped out from one barstool before exploring it.
- Avoid if you came for cheap rounds; this is a 150 meter premium and priced like one.
Before You Go
Trindade station, where every metro line crosses, sits five minutes away. Book the restaurant through decimosetimo.pt; the bar level takes walk ins until the terrace fills.
Lunch runs from 12:30pm and the bar holds the floor until 2am daily.
