    "Cheese bread and Iberian pork copita" and "Tenderloin 'Pica-Pau' Vindaloo"
    Jimmy H.

    Found this place early evening around 5:30 because I needed to early before an early flight the next morning. Alas, they only do their tapas menu until 6:30pm. I did however cobble together dinner with the tapas and it was best meal I've had in my entire week here in Porto. Flavors were well-calibrated and balanced. The tenderloins steak bites were terrific. The sauce, the tenderness of the meat, the sear, everything. Only complaint may be that it came cooked rare and I wasn't asked how I liked it. I personally love rare tenderloin, but be warned if you don't like that. There are limited wines by the glass. I had a glass of medium-body Douro red and it was complex and fun to pair with the food. The ambiance was upscale, with a chic, slightly tropical decor. Mellow samba music. Makes sense, given the Brazilian influences on the menu. Servers were kind and spoke excellent English. Bathrooms: The nicest I've seen in Porto so far. Great decor, reasonably spacious, and everything works.

    Incredible evening at Mescla- We are from the US and were recommended to come here from a friend. We had the Atlantico cocktails as well as grilled vegetables, peach salad and the slow cooked ribs for two. We were early for the reservation and they were very accommodating seating us right away. Friendly people and a beautifully curated restaurant, not to mention the best food we have had so far on the trip. Thank you!

    Worst steak in my 62 years on this planet. I ordered the Brazilian Filet Mignon. Tough as…read moreleather. I had to literally saw through it with my steak knife. It was cook medium rare but tougher than an uncooked skirt steak. After three bites I called it quits. Hard to believe a filet mignon could be that tough and flavorless. Also order the Gratin Dauphinois with bacon. Funny thing was, I couldn't find any bacon and barely found any potatoes. It was just a mass of coagulated cheese. My wife and I split the seafood ceviche which was flavorless salmon and tuna with a few bits of shrimp. Lastly, my wife had the mushroom risotto which had great mushroom flavor and it was loaded with a variety of mushrooms but it had an excessive amount of cheese which also made it extremely salty. From a food standpoint it was an utter failure. The service was fine and the ambiance was nice but the decor was quite cheap looking. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

They were able to accommodate a last minute booking & even sat us in the upstairs area to accommodate our stroller. It was definitely more of a Vegas feel than I was expecting, very "hip" think dark and loud music. Service was impeccable; truly never had to even lift a finger not even to refill our water cups. Some of the food was hit and miss, but the hits outnumbered the misses and truly tasted so good we can forgive the one dish that wasn't amazing. We ordered the shrimp tacos for a starter - weird interpretation of tacos with less than fresh/warm tortillas and deep fried shrimp that would have been better grilled or fried in a different coating. It wasn't for us. However, let me say the steak was fabulous. We ordered the Brazilian steak and the filet mignon - the bark on the steak was excellent, full of flavor and plays on texture. We also very much enjoyed the polenta fries. The cocktails were also very good (crafted) especially at such a reasonable price $10-$13.

The place was busy with guests and our server was nice, but a bit overwhelmed. It looked like they had too many tables to be serving to give the level of service they thought they were giving from a management perspective. We asked about the recommendations on their beef choices and our server tried her best to explain them. We opted for the T-Bone for two with grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. The steak came and was beautiful. It was massive and pre-sliced off the bone-a nice touch. But as we made it through the steak, there was an inordinate amount of fat and especially gristle versus the meat for a T-Bone. What looked like it should be a "10" ended up being about a four. As for the side dishes, the mashed potatoes were truffled. I don't know if that was for panache or just because the spuds were kind of bland. The grilled vegetables were practically swimming in oil- so much so that you had difficulty putting your fork in some as they slipped away. There were no salads listed on the menu and I had to actually ask if there were any to be had. The server say there were and I ordered one that was nice. But I think (as I've seen in some Portuguese eateries) they downplay the salads because they'd rather not deal with them a la lazy. There were many other menu selections to be tried, but I didn't return for a second try. My impression was that they thought more of themselves than maybe they should and it probably applied to other entrees, etc as well.

I got the goat cheese and honey salad which was fresh and delicious. Loved the creamy, caramelized goat cheese! My SO ordered a half order francesinha which Brasao is rumored to make the best one in Portugal. Our server did not ask us how we wanted the steak and it came out pretty much still moo-ing. Way too rare even for our usual medium rare taste. We ate it anyway, but would have been better if it had been cooked a bit longer. All the meats and the sauce intermingled surprisingly well and didn't taste too heavy, although I don't know how anyone can eat more than this half order, it is so filling. I think this dish traditionally comes with fries, but here it did not and we ordered fries as a side. I kind of liked it that way, as they were still crunchy. I asked for some ketchup and received the skimpiest 1/3 filled small ramekin. The lemon pie was refreshing and tart. A perfect little dessert to cut the heaviness of the francesinha. Reservations are a very good idea if you can score one, otherwise you'll be in for a wait.
