This place has been getting love from YouTubers, trip advisor, and yelp. We decided to try this place out and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is intimate and isn't too big but that doesn't take away from its charm. The folks that work there speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Everyone was super friendly. The wife and I came in around 6pm. For those who don't know, the Portuguese typically eat later like at 730 or 8pm. We were able to swoop in but the line definitely got longer and they started to turn folks away. We ordered the cheeseboard, traditional sandwich and the Picanha. Holy criminy was it good...like all of it was good. Good flavor, good seasoning, good portions...I've got no complaints. The traditional was tender and just a heads up, it comes out seared on the outside and rare on the inside so if you wanted it cooked a little longer you may want to ask them. Sometimes you get sucked into these places by fake reviews and influencers upselling a store. I can reassure you that this place is legit. I wish we were staying a couple more days in Porto so I could come back.

I hate sandwiches. But this, this I can everyday for the rest of my life. Portuguese steak sandwich. Heaven. Pregar is a small cute bar - a variety of pregos (I got garlic) and burgers, with a great selection of beer, wines, including ports.

Serra prego

This place was awesome. Had our first meal in Porto here and it was a great way to start, the sangria was delicious, and the steak sandwiches were phenomenal. We got the classic and I believe the Serra with the soft cheese and both were divine. The service was fast and friendly. If we had stayed in the city longer, we would definitely be back again!

This restaurant specializes in steak sandwiches and there is an endless option to choose from. I started with their apple cider and it was super refreshing and crisp. For an appetizer, we got the mini zucchini rolls with salmon and ricotta - the zucchini tasted super fresh and mustard paired with it perfectly. I got the garlic sandwich and loved how tender the meat and crunchy the bread was. The restaurant was not too large but it was decently packed during lunch and the servers were making sure we were attended for the whole time. It is worth checking out if you want a steak sandwich or check out the Francesinha - a popular sandwich that was created in Porto!

The Francesinha was very delicious here! I recommend ordering fries to soak up the sauce with. The service was also excellent and the staff made some very good recommendations for drinks.

OMG, one of the best steak sandwiches of my life. This place seems to get really busy so I suggest going at off eating times - we went at 6pm for dinner and luckily there were 2 tables left. We ordered the garlic and the cheese, steaks were cooked medium rare and seasoned perfectly on a soft bun. The garlic was very garlicky and there was a little bit of veggies inside which was nice. Our waiter said that was the best one! The cheese he said was second best so we ordered that. As a cheese lover it was so delicious - perfectly melted and stringy Portuguese cheese. We had our sandwiches with a side of green wine and fries. They gave us lots of choices for sauces to go with our fries which was nice. Friendly and helpful staff. Not much seating on the first floor, wasn't sure if there was a second. It does feel a little cramped inside, FYI.

Food was okay, tasted good but not great. $11 for a plain sandwich without a side was kind of too much. Service was very good, our waiter Ruth was awesome. Place was nice and they play lovely music.

Pragar! Porto My fave cozy bistro Nextdoor to my airbnb. Friendly service from all the team- you look up and someone will assist. Had a few tastes of port and for lunch a steak sandwich with fries. Fresh, hot and tasty! Glad I found this place. Came by twice. Second time it was packed so I took it to go- it was suggested to call for a reservation. Great service both times!

My wife was feeling a bit under the weather and was wanting some soup and fries and instead of going to the golden arches I found this place. I thought a burger was sounding pretty good tonight as well after a week of eating local in Portugal. Very small place but efficient use of space. Nicely decorated with these old food trays all over the ceiling. Service was very good and not overwhelming or too un-attentive either. I ordered the classic burger and fries and my wife got the vegetable soup. She said the soup was just ok, mostly beans and cabbage. But I cannot believe I am about to say this, but the burger was the best burger I have had in a longtime anywhere and I am in the middle of Porto in Portugal! Cooked perfectly, just the way I asked (pink in the middle) and the tomatoes, bacon, lettuce, mayonnaise and a super soft brioche bun. It was just a fantastic burger, and the fries were great as well. If we make it back I will try either the cod sandwich or one of their steak sandwiches. Highly recommend if you are looking for something not quite as Portugal as most restaurants in Portugal.

This beef sandwich (francesinha) is pretty big so consider sharing it between two people! The steak is pretty tender but a mouthful. I expected the sauce to be like tomato soup but it tasted much more flavorful and complex than a simple tomato-based sauce. It was a little salty and became a little much for me towards the end. The rest of the menu also houses some gems: salad and tuna tataki. These really helped to balance out some of the sandwich. They also have Super Bock on tap to round out your meal!

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had, anywhere! Prégar is known for traditional Portuguese steak sandwiches - it's a small place with a friendly, casual atmosphere. I had a classic sandwich and was blown away - this wasn't chewy, gristly thinly sliced steak. At all. This was a thick, premium cut of meat with no fat or gristle. It was served perfectly medium rare on a beautiful crusty roll and was so delicious and tender. We also had fries which came with 4 tasty dipping sauces (horseradish Mayo was my favorite) and the gents had big beers. They serve all day, the prices are really reasonable (under €10) and staff is really nice. We are a lot of great food in Portugal and this ranks up there as one of my favorite stops.

Now why would I bother to review a McDonald's in a foreign country that offers far more satisfying…read moreculinary pleasures? It was because this one was identified as "the world's most beautiful McDonald's". Just by whom, I was not clear, but it certainly piqued Jamie W's and my interest. Luckily, it was on the route between the tourist-centric Ribeira riverfront and our hotel. In other words, it was unavoidable. Opened in 1995, the so-called Imperial McDonald's is located in a renovated space previously occupied by Cafe Imperial, a famous Art Deco-style coffee shop since the 1930s. For no practical reason, McDonald's retained most of the main architectural features when it took over the location. This included crystal chandeliers, stained glass windows, and a giant bronze eagle above the entrance. Despite the historical decor, the ordering process reflects the current touch-activated menu process (Photo 7). While there are some Portuguese-specific items and even Sagres beer, the rest is typical McDonald's with American-styled fast food like the Miami Burger. Since we were between meals, we ended up getting the 2,3€ McFlurry Oreo and the 1,9€ Caramel Sundae (Photo 10). Nothing special.

You can't miss the giant bronze eagle above the entrance or the ornate glass panes & chandelier above the main counter that harkens back to the past. The restaurant is spacious with kiosks leading to the counter and seating along both sides along with a lower level. This spot was obviously packed when we first visited in the mid-day for photos, but were pleasantly surprised by the quiet vibes at the morning opening hour. We ordered several of McDonald's terrific local breakfast sets. The set included either espresso or juice to go with chocolate pancake or ham & cheese toast. I can't say enough about how fresh the orange juice tastes in this sun-kissed region! Skip it or hit it? We only discovered its morning charm on our last day in Porto, but it's definitely worth an early visit.

The best bifana sandwich in town…read more Conga in Porto is renowned for their bifana sandwich. This is a classic pork sandwich with thin slices of marinated pork served in warm Portuguese roll bread. This introductory dine-in meal was coincidentally the most memorable meal of our trip. We came on a weekday for lunch and was seated shortly on their busy 2nd floor interior. The shredded pork slices were so tender and flavorful having been simmered to soak up all of the spice seasoning the marinade in the large pan for staff to pose with at the storefront. You can watch as the staff skewer out the meat in between the bread. The soft pillowy papo seco bread melted with the meat and was dunked in the spicy pork sauce for extra flavour. We paired this bifana sandwich (3.60 EUR) with their refreshing iced tea and a classic papas stew (3.50 EUR). The stew mixed minced pork & chicken in cornmeal thickened with pork blood. The seasoning made this surprisingly appetizing without much gamey flavour. Our only regret was not ordering more bifana sandwich instead while assuming other shops could be comparable. Simply put, this bifana sandwich was so savoury and none of the other famous shops we visited later ended up coming close. In fact even a Porto local whom we bumped into at a famous bifana sandwich spot in Lisbon flat out said Conga was better and she was right. You're not here for the service but a quick tasty bite. Skip it or hit it? Conga is worth the hype and you have to dine-in or takeout this sandwich!

This location has upstairs seating and some seating downstairs, but for some reason they had their doors and windows open on a rather hot day. It was close to 30 celsius with minimal cloud cover. I am not sure why they did that. This place is good for a pretty quick bite to eat and you can rest assured things here are clean and well made.

It's one of those incredibly soulful spots that I feel are, low-key, becoming extinct in big cities, where everything is starting to look homogenized. We queued for about 15 minutes and grabbed seats at the bar. This was with awful weather and before peak tourist season, so I imagine the lines can get quite long. Pro tip: don't head inside just because you see someone leave. I made that mistake and was told to wait for someone to call me over. The people working here have zero sense of urgency, and that's part of the magic. You're in Portugal. Relax. The cachorrinhos were great, but we also had a steak sandwich that was phenomenal. Think greasy street food in a compact, hole-in-the-wall spot. Pair it with a beer and fries, and you've got the perfect lunch. They take cards!

It had closed. I then walked over to O Campo, since it looked like the same formula, but they didn't take plastic. On the street, I spotted one of those food delivery guys on a Vespa. He was from Venezuela, so I was able to more easily get some insights from him. I walked a ways further and arrived at Madureira's. I went in and explained that I wanted to use the restroom before settling in. The apparent owner or manager told me where to go - I mean actual directions to the restroom! After coming back into the dining room, I was seated and, while one waiter was the principal one, there were two of them helping out. They, too, had the standard white shirts and black slacks. And, much like the owner, they were patient and detailed as I tried to decide what I wanted, providing good explanations. Madureira's is a medium-sized locale, with a woodsy interior. They were busy. It is a popular eatery and many customers are locals. They had a lot of fish options, but I wanted meat or chicken. They had this small cut of beef presented with potatoes on top of it. When it arrived, it was fairly pink and I was worried. There was nothing to worry about. It was very easy to work with and it was delicious. I asked him about the color and if it could be cooked in other ways - for future reference. We arrived at the verbiage "mais cocido/a." I usually order meat medium-well. I was in a good mood owing to this pleasant experience. I thus summoned some opinions for dessert and settled on a slice of chocolate cake that incorporated Nutella. I devoured it. It was excellent. It goes without saying that the service at Madureira's was very good across the board. I asked for the bill and the P.O.S. (point of sale) arrived. When the credit card was tapped on top of it, I looked at the display screen and it ran in Euro. It didn't even require that I push any buttons. There is a lot to try here, as is the case at so many good traditional Portuguese restaurants. I would return. It's about a 5 minute walk from the Campo 24 de Agosto Metro station, heading east of the central Trindade hub toward the main train station at Campanha.

Simple, but great. The clams were nice and fresh. The crab had a nice size, but we've had some better crabs before. Solid, but not great. The White Wine - while pretty moderately priced - was excellent (Planalto - Douro). Staff/Service was very friendly and helpful. Had some tips on what to see and visit for ur. All in all a pleasant evening with good food. Not the very best dinner we've had in Portugal, but enjoyable.
