Two of us split the grilled octopus, fried cod and the oven roasted veal. The octopus was very delicious and could cut it with a fork it was so tender. Veal was second best - meat was super tender and tasted great but didn't have that in depth flavor some restaurants have. The fried cod was good but I just don't love when I'm having to worry about a bone being in my food possibly because I can't fully enjoy it. All 3 portions were very large and we couldn't finish it all. Overall a great restaurant but nothing I'd go back for

I guess it is not the taste that I preferred. Restaurant atmosphere is comfortable and surrounding is comfortable.

As most places in Porto, it doesn't open till later in the evening so be prepared to eat out late every night when visiting. It took a while to get service but they were pretty busy and it was nice to relax for a moment after walking up those hills. Their menu changes a lot and it's tapas style so it's nice to order a couple of dishes to share with the whole table. They had some gluten free options which was really nice and I had no ill effects afterward which was great as well! My group got the clams with garlic, roasted chicken sausage (not gluten free), mushroom with beans, plain white rice and roasted sweet potato. The clams with garlic were really nice! Very light and fairly small clams. You get a decent amount of them to eat. The mushroom with beans was probably the best dish I had that night. I ate it with some of the white rice and it was delicious! It reminded me a little bit of a stew and was very filling. I could have come back and ordered just this with some rice and been good. It was so good that I was kind of sad to have to share it. I used the garlic clam sauce to pour over the sweet potato and it added this yummy savory note to it. I wasn't sure what to expect since none of the meat dishes like the chicken were gluten free. I usually need some kind of protein to feel full but the food we got was really good and fulfilling. Everything we had was gluten free except the chicken sausage and the bread. Service was pretty good if not a litttle slow. The staff was very friendly and helpful in pointing out what I could eat as well. Overall: gluten free and vegetarian options + really yummy, full filling food + tapas style so you get to try different things and share = I highly recommend this place for celiacs and any other foodie out there looking for a great spot to eat in Porto!

I came here ordering pork belly (pork in holiday), it was sooooo tough, I have never had such a tough pork belly that was like beef jerky, and also very dry. Second, it's my first meal in Porto, I was shocked that their white rice was only half cooked, and they told me that's how Portuguese eats. Really? I mean, half of the rice was hard, and I'm a big foodie, I definitely know it wasn't cooked through at all, maybe just 50%. Maybe they just have a bad night, and I hate to be a difficult customer.

I really wanted to try the cod fish braga style Nevada I heard northern Portugal was famous for it. But when I got my dish I was highly disappointed. It was TOO SALTY. I'm sure the dish Is not normally that salty, I felt bad to send it back. I feel like the staff was tired and wanted to go home and didn't do a good job on my meal. However the front of house staff was not rushing me in any way. So that's why I'm giving this a 3.

Its nearest cousin is the Croque Madame only more gluttonous with multiple kinds of meat and an excess of melted cheese. Bourdain went to O Afonso to try his first Francesinha when he visited Porto. However, current consensus motivated us to come here after we watched more recent YouTube travel videos from Jamie Oliver and others. This looked like a more classic, retro-style diner like Mel's Drive-In, but there was no mistaking what everyone was ordering here whether they were tourists or locals. Tables were pretty snug, but we managed to squeeze ourselves in against the wall. We knew we had to get the 13,2€ Francesinha Santiago because it was the classic rendition (Photo 8). Fortunately they allowed us to share an order because our tablemates let us know other places around town don't allow you to do that. It was quite a sight with the fried egg on top of a monstrous sandwich covered by multiple, overlapping slices of a Portuguese cheese called queijo flamengo. The sandwich itself consisted of two thick slices of white bread toasted to golden brown. Inside was Portuguese wet-cured ham, bologna, grilled sirloin steak, fresh sausage, linguiça, and mortadella. It was all doused with their house francesinha sauce made of beef gravy, tomato paste, onion, garlic, piri piri chiles, beer, brandy, and port wine. A pile of fries surrounded the sandwich (Photo 10). Wow, I just spent two paragraphs describing the francesinha and didn't mention whether I liked it or not. I did - but I also realized it was one-and-done for me. We managed to have a couple of the 2,7€ bowls of soup. Jamie had the Caldo Verde (Spinach Soup) (Photo 9), and I had the Canja de Galinha (Chicken Soup) (Photo 7). Both were satisfying, and mine had orzo. Yes, that was enough food. FOOD - 4 stars...that was quite a mountain of a sandwich AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...very popular spot with seating squeezed together SERVICE - 4.5 stars...a veteran server treated us very well TOTAL - 4 stars...come hungry and enjoy RELATED - Exploring Porto?

Definitely a lot of protein but I also didn't really taste the protein much. We ordered one sandwich to split and they asked us if we wanted it cut in half and we said sure. Saw the bill and saw that we were charged 2.5 EUR. We could've just honestly just shared the plate. We also enjoyed sitting at the counter, but unfortunately we noticed that the staff were handling food while touching other surfaces (like rags or parts of their body) with the same gloves. At that point, the gloves don't really serve their purpose. It might be something worth paying attention to, especially since guests at the counter can clearly see the food preparation.
