Heritage 1220 Restaurant
Inside the cloisters of a restored former monastery (now a luxury hotel), the 2025-opened Heritage 1220 Restaurant is a sophisticated take on traditional Arouca cuisine. Inspired by the legacy of Infanta Santa Mafalda, daughter of King Sancho I, who in 1220 brought prestige to the Monastery of Arouca by joining as a nun and converting it to the wealthy Cistercian Order. The kitchen team is made up of local chefs, skilled at elevating the region's traditional comfort food.
