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.

So funny enough, on our trip to Porto, now roughly 6 months ago, which I'm *still* clearing all my…read morereview drafts of (though after this, there will be one left, lol) - I did have this specific location on my list. I also had the place next door to this place on my list, but when we got there, the line to get in was basically out the door and around the corner, so I crossed them off and went here, leaving an opening for us to go somewhere else. Then the next morning, I discovered, Casa Guedes had just recently opened a second location in Vila Nova de Gaia, down the street from where we were staying, with the same name and menu and prices and everything, so I was there for dinner the next day too. Having now been to both, I can say the quality of the food was of pretty similar quality at both locations, so from here on, the rest of this review is going to be of food I had at either location. Great service at both, too, though their offshoot, at least at the time, was much less busy than this location, but the service was great anyway, regardless of them being busy. Between the two locations, and between two people sharing, we tried: A green soup that was, as I wrote in my notes, "omg". Croquettes that were also, again from my notes from January, "omg". A pernil with cheese sandwich I also just wrote down "omg" to, lol. A francesinha that was a *bit* understated compared to the one I'd had the previous day, but had, I wrote down, "excellent sauce". (I also wrote down that dipping the pernil with cheese sandwich *into* the sauce from the francesinha equaled, quote myself, "super omg".) A pork rissol with onion and port that I called "great but not amazing" (i.e. compared to everything else.) A sandwich with "soft cow cheese" (so... brie) and arugula that I wrote down as "excellent and a half" :D. And of course, being me, a note that, on request, they also had, at least as of January, great hot pepper oil (always a huge bonus.) Also had a solid pork spritz, and of course, port by itself (when in Rome, or in this case, Port), as well as a beer, cause the beer was super cheap. Just wish Superbock were a better beer (I also wrote that in my notes, specifically.) Sort of funny that their *cocktail* cocktails were fairly expensive, but that didn't matter, since their port prices, including port cocktails, i.e. spritzes, were very reasonably priced. Would definitely come back here if I were back in Porto, which I wish I were right now, lol.

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!

Great local spot for Bifanas, fries, and beer! They also have grilled quail which we tried and…read morereally liked, they are small so I would order at least one for each person if you want to try. Service is great. Ambiance is lively with most people watching sports on the TVs. Prices are very affordable, highly recommend this place to try Bifanas.

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!
