Our guide
The Kadoorie Synagogue and its attached Jewish Museum are visit-by-appointment only, not a general walk-in tourist site - contact the Jewish Community of Porto in advance. The kosher restaurant "Le J" is currently the only option for a proper kosher sit-down meal in the city.
Stay in the kosher area of Porto
Porto does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Kadoorie - Mekor Haim Synagogue (synagogue listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Porto.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
