If you’re looking for a great authentic Portuguese spot definitely give this a try! We were the only non-locals there, so we knew it was about to be a great meal. Service was amazing and the staff were so kind. And please order the Francesinha with egg and fries!!! It was incredible for our first one. 10/10 🙏🏻
For Francesinha this is the place! Excellent food and attentive staff.
Excellent food. Truly the best I have had in Portugal. The staff were also amazing and gave amazing recommendations.
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!
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. :)
