    Amazing, tucked away gem with the most delicious and unique tasting sandwiches. Cozy vibes, tight but this is a must try place if there is a seat available.

    Oooo baby. This is an absolutely teeny tiny little restaurant that you'd probably walk past if you didn't know it existed. I got there a little before the lunch special started so I wasn't able to get it (soup, sandwich, drink for 7.5 euro??) but I got the prosciutto, Brie, and mango sandwich and it was so perfect I can't imagine adding soup would've made my life better. I took a risk and got this because I'm not usually a sweet and salty gal nor do (did??) I believe that fruit belongs on sandwiches by my goodness. The creaminess of the Brie and the sweet and tanginess of the mango made this sandwich truly delectable. Add in the chewy yet crunchy bread? Forget it. This sandwich was delicious, the vino verde was 2.5 euros, and I left feeling refreshed and ready for another Porto adventure. Not related but there were only women working. The waitress and the two chefs were women and that's badass to me (even if it was just a coincidence).

    We just arrived to Porto and were looking for an authentic and unique place to have lunch. We found it!!! Tiny place offering personal service, delicious fresh dishes, local beer and local wine.

    Soup of the day and the lemonade

    I lucked out and caught them at a moment there was no line and a table available. The line quickly formed and it's well worth the wait. They are cash only so bring cash with you for lunch. The lunch special is 11 euro and I had soup, sandwich and a drink for the cost. Staff is friendly and although busy does an amazing job. Food was delicious. It's small inside but has a cozy feel.

    This little hole-in-the-wall is my favorite place in Porto. It's tiny, but so charming! Definitely worth the wait for a place to sit inside. Picture strings of origami birds hung on the wall, fairy lights, and wooden paneled walls. The owner is quick on her feet, efficient, and polite. We went two separate times. The first time, we ordered a Vitória sandwich to-go the first time (prosciutto, brie, and mango) and I devoured it before I even thought about taking a photo. The second time, we dined in and ordered the fried potatoes and the lunch special: a Ribeira salad, vegetable soup, and mint ginger lemonade. My boyfriend didn't like the lemonade as he said it wasn't sweet enough, but I thought that the more bitter taste paired well with the salad. Everything is super fresh and a gorgeous, vibrant mix of colors. It felt so authentic and local, unlike some of the more touristy places we visited previously.

    Super small place. Really yummy sandwiches. Cash only. Would go back for sure. Lots of vegetarian options.

    What a little gem, only sits about 20 people but sure worth the wait, quick to order and it didn't take long to deliver the goods, super light and fresh great break from all the meats, it's good to see these two young ladies making such a difference in the cuisine culture of Porto and really highlighting the local fresh ingredients.

    Sâo Joáo

    I would come back to Porto for a layover just so I could have the Sâo Joáo sandwich again. It comes with tomato, peppers, house-made salsa, and sardines, all enclosed in freshly baked bread. After days of eating heavy meats and seafood, this was an extremely refreshing break. I also tried our dad's Vitória sandwich, which came with smoked ham, brie, and mango, and was just as delicious. Their soup of the day when we visited was curry leek, and it was so good that I almost asked for the recipe. Each sandwich cost 6.50 euros at the time of writing, and a weekday lunch special lets you have a soup and sandwich for 9.00 euros.

    I typically never crave sandwiches (except for banh mi), but this sandwich spot was a hidden gem! I ordered the sardines sandwich and everything about it was so fresh - from the bread which was super soft to the sardines, sauce, and all the veggies inside. We also got the soup of the day which was a carrot and beet soup and it was a perfect balance of flavors. I saw someone post below about the mango and Brie sandwich - didn't see that on the menu but might have to go back for it to double check!

    Vitória
    Lea G.

    Such an awesome spot! It's super tiny and cash only. One woman was serving everyone (and I think only two women were making sandwiches). We loved our sandwiches. I had the vitória with mango (prosciutto and Brie) and it was really good! Check this place out if you can.

    Sardine sandwich
    Haley S.

    A must-stop lunch spot as you wander your way through Porto. Absolutely incredible sandwiches. Don't miss the ham, brie and date combo. The sardine sammy was also so delicious and light. The bread is airy yet crispy. Try some of the local Portuguese beers while you're at it. Cash only. Worth being late for your train. 1000/10 stars.

    Smoked Ham (prosciutto), Brie, and mango sandwich.
    Aileen P.

    Oh. My. Goodness. First off, the food is freaking awesome! I got a smoked ham (prosciutto), Brie, and mango sandwich and zero regrets! The bread was crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside. My husband got the same sandwich except he had dates instead of mango and it was just as good. We also had the tomato, cheese, and olive appetizer, which was delicious. On a side note: it's a super small restaurant and the tables are right next to each other but totally worth the claustrophobia.

    The cheese, olive and tomato appetizer. Awesome.
    Jason L.

    Teeny, tiny, claustrophobic place but worth sardine-ing yourself. Sandwiches served on fresh, crunchy multigrain bread with top notch ingredients. We had: - cheese, olive and tomato appetizer - the Vitoria; prosciutto, brie and mango sandwich - the D. Luis; prosciutto, brie and dates sandwich All were delicious. Oh, and they make a mean mojito too. CASH ONLY.

As I came in on my own I opted for the one open stool at the counter. The restaurant was busy on a Monday early evening, about 5:30-6:00 pm-ish, with what felt like mostly locals. They have a regular menu, a daily menu printed on the counter top, and they also do Take-Away. Their specialty is definitely their roasted chicken, which one can see cooking on spits at the entrance of the restatruant, conjuring such amazing smells that truly open up the appetite. The staff is sweet and did their best to serve me, with my English/Spanish and no Portugese self. Everything I ate was top-tier without being fancy. Simple and flavorful. I ordered a 1/2 chicken (way too much for me by myself) that came with batatas (french fries- which I didnt love), so I ordered a side of white rice and a salad, as well as what I would call a carafe of wine (it was definitely either two very healthy pours or 3 regular ones). All in all, I paid $15 euros, which I thought was a great value for all that I was given and how tasty everything was.

My SO ordered a half order francesinha which Brasao is rumored to make the best one in Portugal. Our server did not ask us how we wanted the steak and it came out pretty much still moo-ing. Way too rare even for our usual medium rare taste. We ate it anyway, but would have been better if it had been cooked a bit longer. All the meats and the sauce intermingled surprisingly well and didn't taste too heavy, although I don't know how anyone can eat more than this half order, it is so filling. I think this dish traditionally comes with fries, but here it did not and we ordered fries as a side. I kind of liked it that way, as they were still crunchy. I asked for some ketchup and received the skimpiest 1/3 filled small ramekin. The lemon pie was refreshing and tart. A perfect little dessert to cut the heaviness of the francesinha. Reservations are a very good idea if you can score one, otherwise you'll be in for a wait.
