We had the most relaxing and delicious experience at Apego. The dishes were thoughtful with such a depth of flavor (the mushroom pasta and the sea bass with bouillabaisse I CANNOT forget), the wines paired perfectly, and the warmth of the service add up for a lovely meal. We were on holiday in Portugal for our honeymoon and this was our favorite night out. So glad we made the trip!

Apego (Owner)

Thank you Brittany for the visit and we were happy to share this moment with you. See you soon.

Cool atmosphere, really nice wait staff, I thought the tasting menu lacked a little bit of flavor. They were all really high quality dishes but nothing blew me away.

The decoration was lovely and relaxing. We chose the set menu with 2 starters, two main courses and 1 dessert. The chef used local materials to present a wonderful experience for guests and we all loved this meal. Recommend it

Apego you stole our heart! Best meal we had in Portugal. Creative combinations, beautiful presentation, and most important so yummy. Our biggest regret is that we didn’t eat here twice. The restaurant is small and intimate and the staff were kind and knowledgeable. Menu focuses on local and seasonal ingredients with only a few options for each course — but you can’t go wrong! The space is small so be sure to make a reservation. We will absolutely come back and send friends and family along the way. A must do while in Porto!

Outstanding. Completely worthy of a Michelin star, and I’ve eaten at others as a comparison. Ms. Aurora Goy should be a chef name to remember.

Magnífico restaurante. Comida elegante, equilibrada, llena de contrastes. Espacio muy agradable, carta de vinos corta pero bien gestionada. Para ir sin prisas

It was the best restaurant we visited in Porto. So fresh and local, and incredibly tasty. They also do tasting menu and all their menu is changing according to the season. The waiter was so helpful and nice and explaining everything. Definitely one of must visit places!

One of the best restaurants I can say I've been to, we had the taster chef menu and it was divine. All the different flavours in each dish complimented each other so well. The chef is incredibly talented and clearly knows food!

We were so glad to have discovered this restaurant. My spouse and I had the desapego (5 dish menu) which came with 2 starters, 2 mains, and a dessert. All the flavors were balanced perfectly and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was very friendly and polite and suggested a good wine to match our food selection. The restaurant environment itself is cosy and intimate. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. A must for anyone visiting Porto

A small but great restaurant in Porto - incredible food and service, definitely highly recommended! We did the 5 course menu by chef’s choice, incredible combination and particular dishes but simply delicious! Lovely service and atmosphere.

Wonderful to have come across this tiny hidden place, with simple but delicious food and a very cosy atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of touristic downtown! Really recommended!

We had the most amazing night in Apego. The dining room is small and tastefully decorated. The service was exceptional, our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and incredibly thoughtful. He worked very hard but made it look so effortless. We had the Desapego, and we cannot praise the food highly enough. Every component of the dishes was delicious and perfectly balanced, and by the end we felt blissful. The blini with eggplant and zucchini was a highlight for me and the perfect way into the meal. Also, the ray exceeded our expectations, and the almond crust was like nothing we’ve ever had before. The wine pairing was chosen for us by our waiter, we had an organic white wine from the Dão region for the starters and ray and a red wine from the Douro valley for the -also absolutely beautiful- black pork with clams. The peach brioche with rosemary ice cream was a perfect conclusion to our meal. Make sure to try the espresso, Apego uses a unique coffee blend from Brazil with an incredibly rich flavour. Thank you to brilliant Aurora and her most talented team.

After reading many reviews I had rather high expectations about overall dining experience that were definitely not matched. Firstly for unknown reasons my booking from Fork application was not in the the records of Ms Aurora. So it took us at least 10 minutes to get seated when we definitely stated that we will not go somewhere else (this place is 20 minutes walk from center). Then we were told that if we want tasting menu both of us must have exactly the same food. Also it was for the chef to decide which 5 dishes out of 9 dishes menu we will get (really strange) and we could not know in advance. For somewhat sophisticated menu we were offered vinho verde and then white with very high acidity. There was no wine list to select from (only bottles to look at from the distance). We ended up with not so good red we could not taste without buying a bottle. Overall wines much below expectations. It took them 2,5 hours to serve 5 very tiny dishes, which were good yet not excellent (e.g. pork was cold and fish with lots of fish bones). And there were only 8 tables and less than 20 guests. Definitely not the experience we were looking for.

The food and service were excellent. We ate the chef menu and everything was well balanced. From the salad, to the cheese cream balancing the anchovy cream. The sardines firm with a very delicate marinade. The pork whither reference to a traditional dish, but complety different. Ending with a surprising desert. We highly recomend it.

This was an excellent choice with a short but superb menu of Portuguese-French fusion food. There is a choice of 3 starters, mains and sweets so will shared all of them between 3 of us and wasn’t disappointed.
