I got lucky with snagging a snack table as a couple was leaving, and it was just as it was getting dark so I got great photos. There are limited food options with mainly bar food. I got Alheira croquettes and rustic fries, both very good and generous portions. I went with the Altano white wine, which is dry and crisp. The service was slow, mostly because there was only one person servicing all the tables in that section. If you're not in a hurry and don't mind a relaxing pace, then it's a good spot to stop on the way back from crossing the bridge. It's uber touristy though, so be prepared for crowds. Prices were reasonable at least.

Underwhelmed by this trendy dining spot…read more Mito has much hype as a Michelin recommended restaurant in downtown Porto. This is a contemporary casual-gourmet bistro. We arrived for our reservation around 7:30pm to find the restaurant relatively empty but it quickly became packed over the course of the hour closer to local dinner time. The interior decor is quite plain but dark and modern. Service spoke fluent English. We tried several of their popular dishes for a small dinner including bola, shrimp omelette & dessert. The menu is creative and accessible with small portions. Bola de Berlim (€4) was a bite-sized appetizer with a cream & pata negra ham filling in a pillowy doughnut bun. The sweet savory contrast was satisfying. Shrimp Omelette (€16) was a delicate egg omelette topped with salted Algarve pink shrimps drizzled with shrimp oil for extra umami kick. The app and main's flavour profiles were on point but we still had plenty of stomach space for another meal after visiting this venue. Before heading out, we also tried their dessert of French Toast (€7) paired with candied quince and sheep ricotta mousse. The bread half-slice was a bit disappointing but the dessert combination was similar to ice cream with apple pie. Skip it or hit it? While the flavour profile is on point at Mito you'll find better value throughout town.

After having drinks and appetizers on the water and striking out at another riverfront restaurant,…read morewe decided to check out Mescla. Situated on the side of a hilly street, this beautiful, modernly decorated restaurant had its doors open all across and had a great vibe. We were informed they didn't have any open tables, but we were free to sit at the bar and wait for one while we enjoyed a drink, so we did. No less than 10 minutes later, a table opened up. The menu is divided into appetizers, small plates, and entrees. I chose two appetizers as my meal (spicy pulled pork and yuca fries with aioli mayo). My companion got the Picanha (sliced beef), which had super interesting flavors: thinned-out refried beans, a puree that had bananas in it (we're unsure what else it was mixed with), and roasted veggies. My pulled pork was super moist and flavorful and came with these corn bread-style cakes. I could do without the corn bread cakes but the pulled pork was exquisite and not spicy despite it saying so on the menu. The staff was fantastic and customer service is their jam. Everyone who walked in was greeted and told of the dining options. Rarely did we see someone walk away. Everyone opted to have a drink at the bar while they waited for a table. Highly recommend Mescla!
