Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos celebrates second anniversary

The restaurant Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos—located at Quinta do Bomfim in Pinhão—is preparing to mark its second year of operation with exclusive opportunities. In celebration, the restaurant, which entered the prestigious Michelin Guide this year, will offer the unique opportunity to experience the Vintage Dow’s 1970—a wine produced on the property by the Symington family. As an anniversary novelty, the restaurant will also introduce a new wine pairing to its tasting menu, featuring wines produced by members of the Primum Familiae Vini—an international association composed of 12 highly respected winemaking families. These new experiences have been available since June 11.

Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos is a gastronomic project resulting from a partnership between the Symington family and chef Pedro Lemos, located on the upper floor of an old wine warehouse at Quinta do Bomfim. On a property that has belonged to the Symington family for five generations, the restaurant features an open kitchen, reminiscent of the communal and shared meals in the old large-chimney kitchens of the Douro. Wood-fired cooking and ingredients from national producers are the stars of a menu that pays homage to traditional Douro flavors. Surrounded by the unique landscape of the region, with views of the vineyards, the restaurant’s balcony is the ideal place to enjoy a summer lunch, serving as a window to the Douro.

As a proud member of Primum Familiae Vini, Symington will take the occasion of the restaurant’s anniversary to share with Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos’ customers some of the wines produced by other members of the association. From the Champagne region, a Brut Vintage from Pol Roger; from Burgundy, Les Clos Mâcon Bussières by Joseph Drouhin; from the Perrin family in the Rhône Valley, the white Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards; from Tuscany, Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva, Tenuta Tiagnello; and from the Symington family, a Dow’s 30 Years Port. These are the five wines included in the new wine pairing, which can, from June 11, accompany the tasting menu.

The PFV Pairing will cost 80 euros, in addition to the 110 euros for the tasting menu. For the restaurant’s second-anniversary celebration, on June 11, there will be a special offer to discover the tasting menu along with the new pairing for the special price of 120 euros.

Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos is open from Tuesday to Saturday, for lunch (between 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM) and dinner (between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM). Advance reservation is recommended through the website www.bomfim1896.pt.
