Located in Porto’s Vitória neighbourhood, MITO is a restaurant that has quietly become a point of reference for modern Portuguese cuisine. Opened in 2017 under the direction of Chef Pedro Braga, it offers a menu designed around sharing: starters, tapas-style plates, well thought-out mains, and inventive dishes that draw on diverse culinary traditions. The décor strikes a balance between polished modernity and inviting comfort — clean lines, soft lighting, carefully curated details that show taste without being showy. Cuisine-wise, the restaurant emphasizes seasonal and sustainable sourcing; dishes might range from octopus with vegetable tempura, beef tartare, to more elegant proteins like filet mignon with truffle or cabrito in herb crust, accompanied by creative sides and sauces. Service is attentive, the wine list is strong (with attention to Portuguese producers), and the setting is ideal for both relaxed dinners among friends or quiet, memorable date nights. Since re-opening after pandemic closures, MITO has leaned further into its strengths — returning classics while experimenting with new textures and flavor combinations that keep the menu fresh and exciting.
