After your delightful tasting experience, allow the majestic Douro River to guide your path. As you meander along its banks, you'll soon discover that the culinary wonders of Régua stretch far beyond the vineyards. The riverside restaurants and taverns here are living chronicles of the town's rich gastronomic heritage. So, take a moment to soak in the atmosphere: families, friends and workers gathered in animated conversation, the aroma of freshly baked bread, and the hum of generations-old recipes being lovingly prepared. Among the must-tries are local specialties like 'Cabrito Assado', a tender roasted goat dish that has been a staple for centuries, or the wholesome 'Bola de Carne', a meat-stuffed bread that speaks of homely comforts.

Feeling adventurous? Dare to sample 'Tripas à Moda do Douro', a dish that beautifully encapsulates the region's culinary audacity. And as you indulge, take note of the wine-infused dishes on the menu. These offerings, subtly bearing the British touch, are a testament to the deep-rooted collaboration between Portugal and England that dates back to the 14th century.
