Fauno

We had an amazing experience at Fauno Porto while celebrating my significant other’s birthday. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We opted for the five-course tasting menu with wine pairing, and we highly recommend it. Every dish was beautifully crafted, showcasing incredible flavors and attention to detail. The wines, all of Portuguese origin, were unique and unlike anything we had tried before—an excellent complement to the meal. The service was outstanding—thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive. A special touch was when they brought out a candle for my spouse’s birthday, making the evening even more memorable. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the Iberian pork with turnip purée and Madeira sauce—an absolute masterpiece of flavors that left us wanting more. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is a small and intimate space with a warm atmosphere. We loved the open kitchen, where we could watch the chefs at work, and the clean, well-maintained restroom area downstairs. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Porto, Fauno is a must-visit. We will definitely be back!

FAUNO is exactly what you hope to find when looking for a special restaurant with great food and care for both customers and ingredients. It is in a small, pretty street in the center of Porto, with a nice and simple design inside. We think it could feel a bit cozier with softer lights, but it was still a great experience. The team welcomed us very warmly, and we felt comfortable right away. The menu is fixed at €60, with an option to add wine pairing for €40. The food was amazing, very well prepared, and full of details. You can see they really care about using local products, and the quality is excellent. The portions were just right—not too little, not too much—and the timing between dishes was perfect. The wine pairing was really good, and the sommelier explained everything with a lot of passion and care. The waitress who helped us all evening was also very kind and attentive. We highly recommend FAUNO. It is everything you expect from a great restaurant: delicious food, kind people, and a relaxed but elegant atmosphere. They want to make fine dining more accessible, and they succeed! We will definitely come back.

Absolutely amazing dinner. Service impeccable...wine pairing perfect. These brothers know how to do it! And their staff is fabulous. All were friendly courteous and amazing palettes. Highly recommend. And try the rum, espresso and caramel martini!

This was a highly enjoyable dinner in lovely surroundings and fantastic service. The tasting menu was very well balanced, with locally sourced ingredients. The yoghurt bean salad a fresh start, lovely subtle flavours in the blue fin tuna, the sea bass was perfectly cooked and with a great matching fish stew, and the steak was a beautiful piece of meat with a light mushroom sauce. Knowledgeable sommelier advised us perfectly, and the service attentive. Would recommend to visitors. Well priced.

All 5 stars - A very simplistic but fulfilling experience. First our thanks to wonderful Catarina, who was super attentive, amazing at her presentation and made our night extra special. The menu is wonderful and has a great flow from the starter to the dessert. So many exciting flavors and a great way to discover the Portuguese cuisine. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Really hope one day I can come back again. Just beautiful!

My boyfriend and I had a sensational experience at Fauno, which we booked for his birthday while visiting Porto. It's a small place, which gives it a very intimate atmosphere. The meal was one of the best we've ever eaten, the wine pairing was delicious, and the service was amazing. I highly recommend a visit.

This was an amazing experience. The chef is incredible with the flavors of all there dishes. Highly recommend getting the wine tasting with it, the Somalia is just as incredible as the chef. The place made you feel like you were having your own private experience. So good!
