Restaurante O Barracao - Mesao Frio

Mediocre food with mediocre service, unfortunately one of the only places open on Sunday, do not expect a beautiful meal.

The two restaurants that were recommended to eat were closed so that we ate in barracao, which was very nice and the calf cuts came with brot and salat and was very nice to add a glass wein or harbour and it was a big night!

Eating, although it was a grilled steak, lacked taste and tasted too much butter. the service was very slow and without adjustment. I heard someone who said that dialysier was good, but unfortunately when I ordered it, it was already gone.

Ate here our first night in Mesao Frio. Restaurant is in a room behind a bar. Upon walking into the room, several tables were occupied but there was no member of staff present to show us to a table so after mins waiting I...went back to the bar and spoke to the staff there. I was told to take any table I wanted. Several plates containing slices of cheese, melon, cold meats and a tomato sweetcorn and onion salad then arrived on the table. The menu is basic and simple, consisting basically of steaks and fish. Most were available in half or full size. We declined starters and had mains of steak, salmon and fried whiting fillets. All were served with grated carrot, sweetcorn and potato crisps (chips to any US readers). The salmon also came with boiled potatoes. A large bowl of rice was also served. The large portions of salmon and whiting were exactly that. large salmon steaks, and decent sized fillets of whiting. Food was tasty enough, although nothing special. bottles of local rosé complimented the meal. The bill came to for of s without deserts. Although the free dishes served before we ordered were added to the bill- about or each. Before leaving we were each served a complimentary glass of locally produced port a nice touch.

Never to return I cannot give it one star this was the worst restuarant we had the misfortune to eat during our stay the food was terrible and the service was not much better
