Porteno - Feock United Kingdom

Yes, the photos are not flattering; but seriously you’re not reading this because of the photos so bear with me. So another take away edition : <br/ <br/ So the meal for two is a lot, and honestly you could probably feed three but hey that’s a bonus! Never ever say no to too much food! Let’s begin with the highlights! <br/ <br/ The Lasana “Lasagna” is incredibly rich so don’t be deceived by its somewhat non intimidating size. Now we more onto the Porchetta, you can’t go wrong with Porchetta but I do somewhat question the life expectancy of crispy pork crackling in a sealed container, I think ours didn’t travel too far before we couldn’t wait to take a bite and there was still a bit of crunch. Paired with the really roasted cauliflower another very rich and satisfying dish. Moving onto my favourite the Brussel sprouts and honestly “the best ones in Sydney”, I will forgive the diminishing crispy nature of them and truly the sour bitterness was a welcome counterbalance to the meal. Then it’s the simple potato salad with capers another welcome palate refresher but it could do well with a good toss before serving I know it takes away from the presentation but it’s well worth it! Finally it’s the chicken, well no surprises it’s well cooked chicken. would have preferred if the verde was served separately as fighting for sauce in the crowded plastic box was difficult. <br/ <br/ Oh and did I mention is comes with dessert? <br/ <br/ I think Porteno has done a great job translating its restaurant food to the takeaway setting. A more cunning foodie could easily plate this at home and turn this into an amazing night in...not that every night isn’t a night in “these days”... :

Great place for an amazing feed. Dimmed lights with a continuous humming of conversation, you’ll definitely feel comfortable and relaxed! Earning 2 hats in consecutive years, Porteno deserves way more recognition than it gets.<br/ <br/ We started the night with some appetisers and a few drinks. Nothing quite stands out but we thoroughly enjoyed it all.<br/ <br/ The wagyu is to die for. Perfectly cooked, soft and tender. Our favourite dish of the night and we can’t wait to come back again and again for it!

The other night it was a dinner by Porteño and New Zealand’s Depot Eatery. It was a wonderful collaboration with interesting dishes such as lamb neck with sweetbread and craydog with wasabi mayo, ginger and lime syrup (pictured). The saturnes custard with pickled prunes (pictured) was definitely on point. I could have eaten two of them! #porteno

Had a wonderful meal with a couple of friends here. Such a nice place to share dishes to try a bit of everything. Everything was so delicious but quite pricey. Nice lowlit atmosphere but slightly loud.

Really great food, excellent service, but quite expensive. Good for a special occasion, the ambiance is very low lit and moody. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Steaks are delicious! Had the wagyu and it was melt in your mouth goodness. The chimichurri was excellent as a side. Will need to come back and try other menu items
