Since 2001, Nancy Pugh and husband Chef Rob Evans have been building a vocal consensus among farmers, foragers, and Mainers—Hugo's restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience. Critics too have taken note: 2004 Food and Wine's Top 10 Best New Chefs, and more recently, the 2009 James Beard
… Foundation's Best Chef Northeast.
Located at the edge of Portland's historic Old Port District, Hugo's is steps away from Casco Bay. We are committed to New England seafood, produce, livestock, and wild flora. Our kitchen offers a menu that is an expression of region and personality. Bar snacks and à la carte offerings greet diners with the opportunity to navigate between whimsy and refinement. The ever-changing blind tasting menu, (six or eight courses) forgoes the burden of choice: it is the purest distillation of Hugo's cuisine.
With its soft wood tones, fresh floral arrangements, and wrought iron railings, our intimate open dining room will set the stage for your meal of a lifetime.Continued
