Casa Guedes was our destination to try a famous francheshina sandwich and it did not disappoint. We opted to sit on the lovely terrace and had fast & friendly service. I started with a caldo verde soup which was creamy and wonderful and then had a sliced pork sandwich on a fresh crusty roll (with local cheese). This was a really good sandwich - my pork was moist and simply reasoned. If you like a fancier preparation you can opt for any number of toppings but I like simplicity. The gents both got the Francheshina which again comes in many variants. They stayed with the traditional and received a beautiful hot mess of delicious meats, melted cheese and the famous gravy which is perfect for dipping crispy fries into. Prices are reasonable (under €10) and you will not leave hungry! read more

No frills, absolutely delicious and juicy pernil sandwich. Must get with the cheese!!! The slightly sweet and melty cheese complements the pork so well. The smoked sausage and pork sandwich was also sublime. Great lunch/afternoon snack. read more

Casa Guedes is a restaurant famous for their sande de pernil, or roast pork sandwich. One costs 4.3 euros at the time of writing. The restaurant could be argued to be a tourist trap with multi-levels and multi-buildings, but it's famous for good reason. We also tried caldo verde, a Portuguese soup with potato and kale; papa de sarrabulho, a thick chili-like soup made with pork blood, liver, meat, and cumin; and the traditional francesinha sandwich, which is the Portuguese version of a croque madame that's stacked with various cuts of meat then drenched in cheese and a tomato-beer sauce (ours unfortunately didn't come with a fried egg). It's worth mentioning that the francesinha is incredibly indulgent; our family split it four-ways and felt even a quarter piece was edging the line of a post-lunch food coma. read more

Chef Guedes sandwich had crusty bread, tasty & pretty juicy pork & a light sweet touch from the sauce. The cheese went well with it too. Cod cake with soft sheep cheese & Rissol with roasted pork & soft sheep cheese were both good - crispy, light & not greasy. The cheese added a nice edge to the latter. Porto (Tawny) was strong. read more

We were promptly seated in the rooftop which is what we asked for. Service was nice. We only wanted to have a few beers and split the roasted pork and sheep cheese sandwich. The sandwich wasn't for us. Sheep cheese was great we just didn't love the taste of the roasted pork. Place is really cool and you should try something there. We just didn't love what we ordered. Prices were fair. read more

Great casual restaurant to get your classic Porto dishes. They will have the popular entree that are tasty with beer. There should be good seating for small or slightly larger groups. read more

This is a very popular casual eats spot in Porto. We stopped here for a late lunch, as I had seen videos of their roast pork sandwiches on TikTok. It's immediately apparent from their menu that roast pork is the thing to get here, as it features in most of their offerings. We started with a bolinho de bacalhau, which was offered to us a by a waiter carrying a plate of fried apps. It was room temp instead of hot, but the bolinho itself was very good and stuffed with a funky cheese, which I appreciated. We then got a couple of sandwiches and a small order of fries. The sandwiches themselves were good, but not great. My Chef Guedes sandwich, which included roast pork, brie, port wine caramelized onions, and arugula, was tasty but not as flavorful as I thought it'd be. My husband got a sandwich with roast pork and Portuguese cured ham. He liked it overall, but he was surprised to find that it came with nothing else inside, just meat and bread. They were nice sandwiches, but nothing new or revelatory. The small order of fries was actually massive, and they came hot and freshly fried with nice crispy bits. I will give them props for having ketchup and salt at the table, which was much needed for the unsalted Portuguese fries that are the norm. While this is a nice, easy lunch spot that offers plenty of outdoor seating in a cute little square, I wouldn't call it a must-try in Porto. read more

Best sangria ever! The servers were all great. The food was delicious as well! Fries average. read more

Most famous sandwich shop (or even restaurant in general), really good pork sliders and also a good vegetarian sandwich options! Highly recommended by tourists and locals alike. No frills, delicious food. On the corner of the street. Service was ok but they don't speak much English. I loved the 14 Chef Guedes, my favorite thing I tried. Really tasty bread, tender pork, arugula, cheese, caramelized onions. The cabbage soup has chorizo in it though so that is not vegetarian but the soup of the day was vegetarian (forgot to take a pic of the soup of the day oops). They have a restroom on the -1 floor. It's ok. read more

You must go to downtown Porto to experience the food. Casa Guedes offers these sandwiches with roasted pork and a special cheese between two fresh crunchy buns that have a wow factor. Delicious. Add a beer and it does not get much better. You can also try the fried chicken filled croquets (I am assuming no calories). Just remember calories never count on vacation. read more

I was excited to try their pernil but it kind of fell flat. The sandwich wasn't anything too special. I actually liked their soup more than their sandwich. They came around and asked if we wanted a bacalhau pastry. I decided to try it and it was also not that great. Maybe it was just the sandwich I got but I wouldn't come back again. Service was friendly, so that's a plus read more

Delicious sandwiches at any hour, the smell coming from the street of the food is amazing, try anything with pork!!! read more

I was excited for this place but the food was arguably the worst we've had while visiting in Portugal. It is so cute inside though.

Sande de Pernil all the way. This sandwich of the gods is worth the visit to Porto alone (although you should definitely see more of Porto, the city has much, much more to offer and other great foods & wines). I came here for lunch with a friend and went with the #1 item on their menu which is a roasted pork sandwich. This is a very different animal than a bifana (both still pigs, but you should have a bifana de molho which is a special sauce from Porto sometime during your visit at a different place). The meat is tender and juicy and they throw it on top of a homemade Portuguese bread bun. Simple. Wash it down with a Preta or a Fino depending on how full you want to be and how intense you want the flavor to be. I did a Preta (which is a dark stout beer) with the sandwich and my buddy and I split the chips. Outdoor seating is spacious and the lines can get long. I went around 12:30-1pm and only waited around 5-8 minutes but when we left, the line was double the size. It's worth the wait, you might want to order two sandwiches if you're hungry. They have a standard version and then some variants with cheese and other toppings. The staff is friendly and will bring your food to your table, although they may also call your number out depending on take away or dine-in so keep your ear open and learn some Portuguese numbers. Nearby is a great Francesinha place as well for dinner. read more

For this being our first meal in Porto, I was happy with the food and the service. I ordered the picaña with fries, white rice, and egg & bacon casserole mixture. The picaña was cooked well and tender throughout. It didn't have any marinade on the meat, but it did have a little salt and rosemary garnish which added some flavor. The fries were literally fresh cut potatoes made into French fries and were absolutely delicious. The white rice was just blah for me. The casserole combination was really tasty, but it is a chalky type taste with egg and little bacon pieces scrambled in. I ordered the Hostel for a beverage which was vodka, limao, maracuyá, with pink pepper garnish and it was absolutely amazing! Definitely a nice place that'll I probably try again before leaving! Giving this an extra star because it stays open late! read more

We got the #1 pernil (roasted pork) and traditional Francesinha. Both were great and the service was excellent (we got it to-go though). I would recommend coming here. read more

Excellent pork sandwich place recommended by the hotel guy. The bread was super soft with a light crunch on the outside, super fresh. Pork was very juicy and flavorful, I added brie to my sandwich and I was glad I did it it went very well with my sandwich. Can't wait to go back to Porto for all the yummy food! read more

Yuck! This was recommend by a tour guide and we couldn't find anything good. Maybe the fries?? I guess if your a local it's good, but steer clear if your a tourist. Tables are way close, you can smell everyone. The waiters are rude and rush you through everything. Nahhhhh! read more

Having arrived into Porto late on a Saturday night, I felt I did well to find a delicious pork sandwich after midnight (leaving a good first impression of the city!). I can't remember the name of the sandwich I ordered (I recall it being #14), but it had pork loin, brie, caramelized onions, and a savory sauce. Again, delicious. The only reason I didn't return during my trip is that this corner of the city also has a number of other sandwich shops worth exploring. read more

Came late at night (~10PM) when the kitchen was closed and nothing else was really open. This area is known for the famous francesinha sandwich, but also for their cheap bifana street food munchies. I went a bit fancy and got mine loaded with shepherd's cheese and caramelised onions and soaked in port because I just needed calories. It was surprisingly tasty and just the right amount of food to satiate me, having not eaten in 5 hours. The sweetness of the port with the gaminess of the cheese really worked well together. read more

A little shop selling good quality pork sandwich! * * * EXPERIENCE * * * We went on a Thursday at 10:30am which the place just opened, there was barely any customer although I heard this place is pretty famous. Traditional interior decoration with both indoor and outdoor seatings. Don't forget to order a beer to compliment the pork sandwich! * * * FOOD * * * Pork Sandwich: A- It's pulled pork style and the amount of meat was generous. The meat would be almost too salty to eat on its own without the bun, which I think was the star of this dish with very soft and almost juicy texture. The harmony of the combination was a joy. Definitely a good place to try out pork sandwich if you have not had a chance to do so yet. I also recommend outdoor seating as you can do a bit of people watching too! read more

Came here on my last day at Porto and I am so glad I did! I ordered the sande de pernil which is roasted pork. What a sandwich! Are all sandwiches like this?! The bread was so warm and toasty, the filling was so flavorful! The looks were quite deceiving - I thought it was going to be dry but it wasn't! It was the perfect snack. Nothing beats a great sandwich for snack time! read more

This place was so good we came here twice in a 3 day span. The peril sandwich is great. Easily one of the best I've eaten. The pork was juicy, the bread was hard enough to hold the meat and the au jus that was ladled onto it and if you like cheese, it adds another dimension to the taste. The fries were good but the gizzards were excellent. They have wifi available and you can order a small beer or a large beer along with soft drinks to go with your food. If you find a table outside, they will bring your food out to you. We came early both times and got seats quickly both times. Definitely a place to try in Porto! read more

Great sandwiches and pork cracklings. Fair prices and nice outdoor seatings. Staff are very friendly.

This might have been our best meal in Portugal. The pork sandwiches are awesome and worth the wait. The meat is succulent, the bread crusty. I felt the cheese was tasty but gilded the lily. You could skip it to better enjoy the taste of the roast pork. Prices are ridiculously low. read more

Amazing place. A must go when in Porto, cheap GOOD eats. Brought my born and raised in Portugal boyfriend who was blown away by the pernil & cheese and the presunto & cheese. Don't get anything without the CHEESE. Croquettes of pernil huge and delicious. Fries standard fare, drinks reasonable. Francesinha not my jam but seemed to be in line with other places. Salad big but ham sliced thick so not too manageable to chew, otherwise good diversity of ingredients. Place is smallish but clean and constantly turning tables so wait not too long. read more

This place was referred by fellow Yelpers. The hubs and I needed some food to get through the night and came here at 9:30pm before it closes at 10pm. We ordered #1 Roasted Pork bun (traditional Sande de Peril) for EUR4 and #8 Roasted Pork bun with sheep cheese for EUR5 (Sande de Peril com queijo de ovelha). There is a non-stop rotation of patrons coming in to order their buns. We waited about 15mins before we received our order. Taste, portion, price: #1 Roasted Pork bun (traditional Sande de Peril): the bun tastes like a bun - nothing spectacular IMO. The roasted pork itself is tender, and juicy (the hubs thinks it was a tad overcooked). Good amount of meat-to-bun ratio. Worth EUR4? Around Porto, yes. If compared to back home, no. Too expensive and lacks any flavouring (except salt). #8 Roasted Pork bun with sheep cheese for EUR5 (Sande de Peril com queijo de ovelha) - same as the above regarding the bun and the pork. The cheese is great addition -- if you like Chinese stinky tofu, that is. It is stinky and tastes like a western version of the stinky tofu --it is not for everyone. The cheese melted on top of the meat and finally added some flavour to it (kind of reminds me of the marriage between goat cheese and roast beef). Worth EUR5? Yes, as sheep cheese seems to be rather difficult to find. Overall, good experience to try the regional specialty. We would recommend you all to try at least once. read more
