Casa de Chá da Boa Nova
Rui Paula's two-star seafood inside a Siza icon on the rocks
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Set in Álvaro Siza's 1960s tea house, cantilevered over the Atlantic rocks at Leça da Palmeira, this is Rui Paula's two-Michelin-star ode to the sea. The menus run almost entirely on Portuguese seafood, plated with architectural restraint to match the room. The waves break a few metres from the glass.
Editor's Tip
A rare case where the building rivals the food; book a window seat and arrive while there is still light on the water.
