We saw this restaurant in Eater's essential restaurants to eat in Porto. The thing that caught my eye in that review was that the Chef knows how to make haute cuisine for affordable prices. Wow, the food was incredible with imaginative flavors. It was recommended to order everything to be shared, and do we did. We had their beef croquettes, a pata negra ham and bacon doughnut, their carrot dish (Unami wow with a smoked miso), grilled octopus, their signature Gnocchi with a local fresh fish catch and a corn fritter dessert. The flavors and sauce work were incredible. Service was very attentive and they recommended a fantastic mineral white wine from Douro (a perfect pair). I am from San Francisco and a night out like this would easily be a couple hundred dollars. This amazing food was 80 euros. This is a must try restaurant! Chef and team are doing incredible things here. read more

Food was very delicious, but portions were very small for the large dishes. Expect to pay a lot, but it will knock your socks off! Make sure things on the menu sound good to you before you go. Some of the most expensive water we had on our trip lol. Service was prompt and kind. read more

Overall: 4 stars Yet another fascinatingly creative restaurant on the Michelin list. I stopped by for a light lunch and was relatively happy with my meal, aside from some sus discolored tuna. The menu sounds super interesting and there are a lot more eyebrow raising items. I appreciated that the staff did their due diligence regarding my dairy intolerance as well. (Tuna Ceviche: C) - Beautiful plate of food that was overshadowed by the grey nature of the tuna that I should've sent back since it was high key sus. I'm still not convinced watermelon flesh should be served not as is as the texture is otherwise a bit unpleasant, but the broth is freshing and vibrant and that component makes for a good dish. (Miso Carrot: A+) - Beautiful dish that any plant-based diet individual would be lucky to enjoy. The carrots are thinly peeled and wrapped into a divine layered rose and roasted to have crispiness on the outside while maintaining warm comfort on the interior. The puree adds a touch of creaminess, while the miso sauce adds a layer of saline complexity.

Mito - Bars Near Me - Porto, 13

After three days eating my way through Porto, Mito wins for "best lunch." Usually a hard-to-get-a-reservation dinner spot, go for their lunch menu. Usually, there are two tables saved for walk-ins. The lunch menu is small with a soup, a few main dishes, a few desserts and a drink menu. For 12 Euros I ordered the sweet potato soup (the "soup of the day"), risotto and pavlova. Before my food came out, three warm slices of bread with salted butter on a black plate came out. Every dish was well presented, tasty, and made me want more. So good! They also have two kinds of infused water (I ordered four glasses of passion fruit) and a wine list. For an extra 4 Euros, I got the table white. Local, it was very crisp and refreshing. The space itself is beautiful and the service is kind and efficient despite being under staffed and busy. read more

We made a reservation, which we were grateful for as they were turning parties away without ones even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. We each opted for cocktails. I thought mine was ok. Hard to really compare to the ones I had in Lisbon. They recommended 3-4 plates for the table. 1) Sweet potatoes: 4/5 - very elegantly presented, cooked well, but didn't really have a unique taste. 2) Mushrooms: 4/5 - very fresh, but I can't really remember if I really enjoyed it or not and it's been less than a week. So probably good but not memorable. 3) Shrimp and monkfish rice: 4.5/5 - the taste was beyond amazing!!!! But the rice was under cooked and I felt like they skimped on the shrimps. It only came with two pieces but went overboard with the monkfish. Definitely a place to try once if you're visiting. read more

Mito was the first spot I chose for dinner on a trip to Portugal back in September. All these months later I vividly remember, and desperately miss, the taste of the food I ate here. We ate phenomenal food on this trip, including a few Michelin starred restaurants, and Mito still stands strongly as my favorite. First, they get huge points for having reservations available a few days out. Portugal, yes the entire country, was inundated with tourists while we were there. Every restaurant was seemingly booked months in advance for every day of the week. Mito somehow flew under the radar, it was packed while we were there, but I think it's relatively new, so not as well known. Every thing we ate, down to that bowl of tomatoes, was exceptionally prepared and packed with flavor. I don't think Mito has a Michelin star, but, if they keep this up, they'll get one in no time. It seems like they switch up their menu, so your choices may differ from ours, but try the Ribeye and Sea Bass if they offer them. We had those options multiple times on our trip, they always tasted great, but nowhere did it better than Mito. Don't skip out on Mito just because you likely won't see it on restaurant recommendation lists, it is 1000% worth a visit. Whenever I return to Portugal, I'll be sure to book a reservation at Mito first and foremost. read more

Mito is a great restaurant. Seemed like a mix of both authentic Portuguese with some fusion or different takes on Portuguese cuisine as well. Either way, it worked for me. Food was good and service was good. read more

We went there with a large group on the first night of a group bike tour. Our server, Isabel, was amazing, working with us to find options that would make everyone in the group happy - no small feat considering we had two vegetarians, one pregnant woman, one gluten-free, and three people who didn't eat seafood in our group of 11. She helped us figure out a great set of shared dishes that meant everyone had plenty to eat, and all of the food was amazing. The piglet was my personal favorite, cooked tenderly and with a crispy skin. The tapioca, the beef croquette, and the Bolinha de Berlim were also standouts. For dessert, we had some of each, and again were blown away. I would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special meal in Porto, and I will definitely go back if I'm ever in Porto again. read more

Quite possibly the best restaurant that I ever ate at. Stumbled across this gem by accident. The food was amazing, creative, and simply delicious. Every bite was an explosion of flavor like I've never experienced. And the staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and delightful. I wouldn't hesitate to order anything on the menu and share it which is encouraged. Can't wait to return read more

The best restaurant I have had during my trip to Portugal. Great steak- cant get this quality with 50 euros and loved the appetizers (the crab bao was excellent). It seems that some go here for lunch as the course is only 15 euros or so but I prefer the dinner menu and restaurant is packed during dinners. read more

Great food. Took 5 different sharing dishes and each one was excellent. Well prepared with a distinct taste. The service was very good too.
