This is best place to eat francesinha. We had recommendations from the locals and they were apsolutly right. Also they have snacks and bier. Place is great to come for a food and hangout. It's not some expensive fancy restaurant.

Great place to try the original Francesinha! Bread is toasted and the quality of the meat is impecable. The sauce is spicy so be warned! Home cut French fries and generous portions of Super Bock beer. All for less than 15! You'll leave feeling you need to start a diet asap and at the same time wanting to go again soon enough. :)

A hidden gem of a cafe. I went to try the famous francesinha and was not disappointed!Quality ingredients and cooked to perfection.What's more, I went on a busy Saturday night with a big party. Yet I was still served quickly with grace and politeness.Bravo, I will come again

Honestly I've never eaten a francesinha and don't I it should be or taste, but trust me, this is the place. Everything, everything was perfect, down to the most minute detail. You get all the feelings of a driveway diner and the food is so comfortable and good. It just fits. Thank you guys for the experience!

The Francesinha is simply incredible—the sauce is rich and flavorful, the meat is perfectly layered, and the cheese is outstanding, melting beautifully over the top. The portion size is just as it should be, satisfying but not overwhelming.This is a classic, typical Porto Francesinha, done right

Great spot if you fancy an affordable local dish in a simple set up. I love this place and the staff is very nice. It actually got pretty busy later in the night.
