Francesinha in a wood-fired oven - Toca dos Amigos
Weather for the next days
In Vila Nova de Gaia
On the quiet Rua da Pala, in Gulpilhares, lies one of the region's well-kept secrets: Toca dos Amigos, famous for its special francesinha, prepared in a wood-fired oven. The result? A dish with a more refined flavour, melted cheese and that golden crust that makes all the difference. The restaurant has a simple and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for those who enjoy relaxed meals with a homemade flavour. The portions are generous, the chips arrive at the table nice and crispy, and the service usually earns praise — the 5-star kind. With prices between £15 and £20 per person, it is an excellent option for those who want to escape the obvious and try a francesinha made with time, tradition and a lot of soul. If you are looking for a place where the food is comforting and the atmosphere makes you feel at home, Toca dos Amigos is a must.
