Alto Porto — Restaurant in Porto

We visited this place twice: for brunch & for dinner. Overall, we enjoyed the food but the service & some dishes could use an improvement. This place just opened a few weeks ago, so maybe they are still learning…

Brunch: green grecha was delicious, Benedict eggs were good and they would have been even better without draniki (which were too oily). Surniki were tasty. We enjoyed service as well during brunch.

Dinner: beef tartar was simply amazing and so were the shrimps! Honestly, I could have eaten my plate! We liked house butter with bread too. We ordered octopus as a main fish and were a bit disappointed with the size of the portion, it would be nice to add boiled potatoes or something else as a side dish. Otherwise, it is a small portion of octopus with a few pieces of vegetables. For desert we got strawberry mochi which we found yummy. Interestingly, the service for Russian-speaking customers was much better at dinner. Also, the bar tender looked a bit grumpy - both during brunch & dinner (it was the same person while...

Very friendly staff and we we served pretty quickly which I like. We ordered 3 different appetizers and 3 main courses. The tuna pate is pretty good. The meat tartare with kimchi mayo is amazing! Only downside was that the bread that came with the tuna and butter was cold. And the fries that came with the tartare doesn't go well. Some small toast would be better. For mains, we ordered the octopus, the Asian style steak and the broccoli with chestnut puree. The steak was amazing! Extremely tender! Made better than most steakhouses. The brocolli with chestnut puree was really good as well, the puree was intense and delicious. The octopus was okay. For dessert, they offered us their bask cheesecake and we ordered the honey cake, both delicious! Everything came promptly and we have zero complaints. They had some technical issues with electricity but the staff was super friendly and we got a free dessert.

I found this place on Google maps as it was a minute away from the hotel we stayed in. I was drawn in by the interesting menu and was not disappointed! The flavour pairings were unique and each dish cooked to perfection. I usually avoid ordering squid as it can be unpleasantly chewy, but this one was amazing. It's softness paired with the crispy-ness of the homemade breadcrumbs had a great texture contrast. Delicious! My boyfriend ordered a vitello tonnato and it was amazing! Lastly, the dessert was to die for. The Basque Cheesecake was probably my favorite cheesecake I ever had. So light and fluffy!! The honey cake also did not disappoint. Our waitress was very attentive and made us feel super welcome. Even gave some recommendations for lunch around Porto. Overall, a...
