Capim Dourado — Restaurant in Porto

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Culinary Experience!

From the moment I opened the menu, I knew this restaurant was something special. It was a delight to discover such fresh, creative ingredients and flavor combinations that you rarely see these days. Every dish felt like a breath of fresh air, standing out from the usual fare offered at many places.

Starters: Little cheese puffs that melted in your mouth Tapioca dumplings paired perfectly with passion fruit jam – an unexpectedly brilliant combo! A hearty beef and mashed manioc casserole that was bursting with rich, savory flavors Crispy okra, light and addictive

Mains: The Brazilian “Moqueca” seafood was a showstopper, with succulent scallops, clams, shrimp, and mussels in a flavorful broth. A must-try for any seafood lover. The Filet Mignon with Madeira wine sauce and sweet corn cream was absolute perfection, the meat tender and the sauce decadently rich.

Desserts: The Capim coconut cream was a silky, tropical dream that ended the meal on a high note. The Romeo and Juliet petit gateau, a playful fusion of guava and cheese, brought together sweet and tangy in a way that had me wanting more.

Every bite was an adventure, and I can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for bold, inspired cooking. This place deserves all...

As a Portuguese and even if not a conservative one, my expectation of a Brazilian food restaurant was not high, specially when judging by Chimarrão, an all-you-can-eat meat franchise often with Brazilian live music. But although the music choice is awful and the environment cheap the meat is pretty decent quality and plentiful. This restaurant is different. The food was really tasty (I had the rib and it was super tender!) and the music was very good, with good guitar skills, voice to match and a remarkable great Bossa Nova hand picked songs. To make it better still the desserts tasted apart and were prepared in the moment. The service was only ok, because some were great and some just less present both in efficiency and in human presence but always pretty correct and helpful. Only the acoustics were a disaster making the room hard to endure for long without a headache, but nothing that a sound deadening treatment won’t fix. The essencial was there: good food and tasting like...

Bad experience overall. Went there with a group of friends with a table booked for 13h, we arrived at 13:05 and the table wasn't yet ready. After that we ordered the beverages and they couldn't serve it all at the same time, even though they took more than 20 minutes between taking the order and starting to serve the drinks. The food was even worst, being that when the late starters arrived, the first people served have finished in a while. Then in the main dishes, one of the plates had a piece of screw between the rice. They apologized for it and in return offered coffees as an apology gesture. Meanwhile, 3h have passed since we arrived, and it wasn't because we were eating slowly, just because the service took forever and was completely off. All in all, there are way best places in town, with way better service and management and cheaper than this place. Will not come back...
