We are thrilled to announce that Fauno has been officially listed in the 2024 MICHELIN Guide Portugal! This prestigious recognition marks a significant milestone for our team and highlights our dedication to delivering an exceptional dining experience.
This year’s MICHELIN Guide selection is especially momentous as it marks the first time in the guide’s history that the updates for the Portuguese culinary scene were presented at an exclusive Gala. The event took place on February 27th in Algarve, at the NAU Salgados Palace & Congress Center in Guia, Albufeira, where the country’s finest chefs and restaurateurs gathered to celebrate this occasion. We are incredibly honored to be among the 30 new restaurants added to the guide this year.
Nestled in a quaint, narrow street in Porto, Fauno is a unique culinary space crafted with passion by brothers Pedro and Tiago Amorim. As our first joint venture, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a tasting menu that reflects the best of the season, using ingredients sourced from local producers. Our goal has always been to combine tradition with innovation, offering a dining experience that is both memorable and accessible.
The MICHELIN Guide inspectors have recognized our commitment to quality and creativity, praising the careful preparation and exquisite taste of our dishes. With both a regular and a vegetarian tasting menu, we strive to offer something special for every palate. Guests are also invited to enhance their meal with our curated selection of wines or non-alcoholic pairings, making each visit to Fauno a truly immersive experience.
This year’s MICHELIN Guide Portugal celebrates the dynamic and evolving culinary scene in our country. With 30 new additions, including Fauno, the guide underscores the impressive growth and creativity within Portugal’s gastronomy. As noted by Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, Portugal is experiencing a remarkable culinary renaissance, driven by passionate young chefs and seasoned professionals alike.
We are honored to be part of this exciting moment in Portuguese cuisine and are grateful to our incredible team, our local producers, and, most importantly, our guests who inspire us every day.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. We invite you to join us at Fauno and experience for yourself what makes our little corner of Porto so special.
