It was Trinchado time again Saterday, the 29th of August 2009. This time I went to Mesa Portuguesa in Pretoria to try their take on the Trinchado.Just the photo alone shows that the Mesa Trinchado is different than the O'Galito Trinchado and the Braza Trinchado.
The Mesa Portuguesa Trinchado was not hot spicey but it was full a flavour spicey, if that makes sense. This time the sauce was a red wine sauce and not a white wine sauce. Mesa also gives a nice Portuguese roll with the Trinchado.
So I would rate the Trinchado 7/10, I prefer the creamy white sauce. So it has the same rating than the Braza Trinchado but the Mesa Trinchado just looks tastier when it gets to the table than the Braza Trinchado.

Try Hillside Tavern in Lynnwood for the best Trinchado. I used to live in Pretoria and like you ALWAYS order it if it is on the menu!
You are the second person recommending Hillside Tavern.
I must make a plan then A.S.A.P.

Missing UCSSM days! Found your blog.
Once you have had a Hillside Tavern Trinchado, Trinchado's anywhere else will never be the same again. We regularly travel from Benoni to HST and order the same meal every time - Springbok Carpaccio, Trinchado, Creme Brulee. They don't even need to bring the menu anymore....
