If there is one restaurant in the middle of the touristy areas that you can get some good grub at, it's this one! We came here to have the traditional Portuguese sandwich, the Francesinha, which means "Little French Girl;" however, the only thing little about it, is the name. This is a meaty, cheesy sandwich stacked a few layers high and it is heavy, so go hungry. Enjoyed it, but I can't emphasize how hefty it is.
Of course we did not expect such a sandwich, so we also got cod croquettes and a vegetable soup. I quite liked both! They were light and delicious.
The waiter was an old man who I think is also the owner, and he was fast and attentive. He brought me piri-piri sauce to go with the croquettes, which was perfect.
This is a solid place, so give it a try if you're in the area. read more
