Auge Porto - The Restaurant

At the top of the city, one step under the clouds

AUGE is synonymous with plenitude. At the city’s summit, just a step below the clouds, lies a new space offering a diverse range of experiences for unique moments. AUGE epitomises fulfilment; it represents the culmination of a journey through all there is to discover in aromas, flavours, colours, shapes, textures, and the expression of a rare and precious art: the art of surprise.

The AUGE rooftop restaurant serves signature dishes by Michelin-starred Chef André Silva.

This new restaurant is arguably the highest in the city of Porto, as it is precisely located on the 19th floor of the Porto Palácio Hotel. Between the terrace and the entire glass-enclosed dining room, it is possible to have a view angle of over 180 degrees, which, combined with the height, allows for views not only of the Douro River and the sea but also parts of Vila Nova de Gaia, Matosinhos, and even Maia.

The carefully designed ambiance is enhanced by the lighting provided by Indelague, known for its focus on innovation and elegance. The space is illuminated with warm lighting, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that harmonizes perfectly with the restaurant's minimalist lines. This thoughtful lighting design highlights the surrounding views while ensuring a comfortable and intimate dining experience, setting AUGE apart as a beacon of sophistication and warmth.
