Both were very soft and creamy and delicious. I can see why people feel. This is the best place in Porto. In fact, I overheard someone in line saying that they also heard that this was the very best gelato in town.

Our server was very attentive and helped outline the various options and what came with it. We ended up ordering a board for two and a sausage dish. Everything was tasty. The dessert, Chocolate Salami, isn't what it sounds like and was an absolute showstopper. Give this place a try.

We then ordered one of the type of sausages that they serve and it was good as well but not as good as the meat and cheese board. The owner was our host and server. She was great, Attentive, and helpful.

We were craving gelato after having dinner at Praça de Parada near the Clerigos Tower and were…read moredelighted to find this gelato shop just a few minutes walk away. I was initially attracted to this place due to the reviews mentioning fruity gelato flavors like watermelon, coconut and white grape but they must be seasonal because I was slightly disappointed to discover only 3-4 basic fruit sorbet flavors out of 12 flavors they were currently offering. My boyfriend opted instead for a scoop of pistachio, and after one lick I was enlightened. It tasted equally as good as the gelato that I've had in Italy and suddenly it made sense to me why everyone loves pistachio as I've never really been a big fan. Rich and nutty with a creamy, velvety texture that gives it just the right mouth-feel... and for less than 4 euros?? I only wish that we hadn't discovered this spot on our last night in Porto because I definitely would have been tempted to revisit.

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?
