L’Égoïste: A Gastronomic Oasis in Lapa

Source: Global News

Lapa, one of Porto’s most traditional neighborhoods, was not known for its dining scene. In recent years, however, this has started to change. The Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel, part of the Marriott group, has brought new life to the area, and with it came L’Égoïste, a restaurant that is quickly becoming a must-visit for those seeking a different experience.

A space that breathes sophistication

Located on the hotel’s ground floor, L’Égoïste stands out for its modern and welcoming atmosphere. The décor is inspired by Mediterranean tones, creating a light, elegant, yet relaxed setting. Before reaching the main dining room, guests are greeted by an intimate bar — perfect for starting the experience with a cocktail or simply unwinding.

The cuisine of Miguel Pinto

The talent of Chef Miguel Pinto is the driving force behind the restaurant. His cuisine combines sophisticated techniques with cosmopolitan flavors, while staying true to Portuguese roots. The result is a well-balanced menu that surprises with creativity yet comforts through the familiarity of local ingredients and references.

A new destination in the city

With the opening of L’Égoïste, Lapa gains a new space that not only enhances the neighborhood but also reinforces Porto’s reputation as a rising gastronomic destination. Between the newly inaugurated urban park, the metro’s proximity, and the hospitality of the Renaissance Hotel, the restaurant enjoys a privileged location to welcome both locals and visitors.

Worth the visit

Whether for a casual lunch, a special dinner, or even a quick break after work, L’Égoïste is more than just a restaurant: it is a true urban retreat. A place to savor Portuguese gastronomy reinterpreted with a contemporary touch, in a setting that blends comfort and sophistication.
