Salpoente Restaurant is one of the leading restaurants in Aveiro, Portugal, and is equally popular with locals as it is with the many people who come from far and wide to visit each year.
Located right on the Canal San Roque, Salpoente Restaurant occupies a new building which has been formed from an exciting renovation project of two former salt warehouses, which were once at the heart of the thriving maritime economy of Aveiro.
The result is a beautifully designed, contemporary building which is at once at the forefront of modern Aveiro culture and yet embraces the city’s rich heritage.
