A local tour guide recommended this area to purchase the famous francesinha sandwich. There were several cafes/restaurants all around this circular block. I chose this one by random. I had just completed a 3 hours waking tour in thr hot sun and was tired and hungry. lol
There were a few empty tables and chairs inside because most customers were sitting outside enjoying the views. I ordered the "very special francesinha" which includes ham, sliced ham, mortadella, sausage, veal steak, smoked bacon, sliced bread with cheese, egg and a sauce on top of the sandwich. When i first looked at my sandwich i said omg will I eat this huge thing. I wa wearing braces so I couldn't just open wide and bite which i what I wanted to do. However, I took a knife and went to town. That everything sandwich was so Flavorful and delicious. It was huge too and cane with fries and some type of soup I didn't like. I was able to save some of the sandwich the following day and it tasted even better.
I definitely recommend this spot. The staff were sweet and helped me with directions back to my Airbnb. read more
