Our Journey
Fauno was born out of a shared passion for food and a desire to bring something new to Porto’s culinary scene. Founded by brothers Pedro and Tiago Amorim, the restaurant is a culmination of their experiences in world-class kitchens and their love for the vibrant flavors of Portugal. Inspired by the mythical figure of Fauno, a symbol of nature and vitality, we aim to create a dining experience that feels both timeless and fresh.
Evolving from a vision to a celebrated dining destination, our journey has been driven by a commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. Every dish we create reflects our belief that food should not only nourish but also inspire.
“We wanted to create a place where people can experience the best our region has to offer, with the best products and technique but at fair prices.” — Pedro and Tiago Amorim
