The story
Euskalduna Studio occupies a quiet corner at Rua Santo Ildefonso 404 in Porto, a restaurant that operates less like a traditional dining room and more like a workshop. The name “Studio” is deliberate: the kitchen is the heart of the space, and guests sit at a counter, watching every detail unfold.
The cooking is modern, rooted in technique and seasonality. The team works with precision, presenting dishes that are clean, focused, and built around high-quality ingredients. The approach is intimate—counter dining means each plate arrives directly from the pass, with the chefs just an arm’s length away.
That precision earned Euskalduna Studio a Michelin star in 2026, a recognition that speaks to the consistency and ambition of the kitchen. The restaurant’s modern cuisine is not about flash; it is about clarity and balance, served in a setting that strips away everything unnecessary.
The space itself is understated, designed to keep attention on the food. With a small team and a focused menu, each service feels personal. The restaurant also offers catering and private parties, but the core experience remains the counter, where the kitchen’s work is fully visible.
For those seeking a modern cuisine experience in Porto that values directness and craft, Euskalduna Studio delivers exactly that.
