Great selection - Edit
I am very surprised to see such a low rating. Yes, it's not the best francesinha in the world, but it has an amazing variety and the desserts are actually really good! Def advise

Not worth it - Edit
The Francesinha is terrible! The worst I've eaten, as someone born and raised in Porto who grew up eating francesinhas I can say the vegan francesinhas here are just not worth it.
Read moreThey do have a full vegan menu with many options, and the appetizers and desserts are good.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good desserts and appetizers

Vegan menu - Edit
They have a vegan menu and that's great. I tried the vegan tempeh francesinha, it wasn't bad but not so special as I thought

Banging vegan francesinha - Edit
Had a great vegan selection, and although the francesinha could be too heavy for some, I loved their vegan version of it. Would definitely return to try their other versions.

Comida tradicional vegana! - Edit
Sitio perfecto para probar las típicas francesinhas portuguesas pero en versión vegana, especialmente si se va acopañado de personas no veganas! Es una porción muy grande, y forma parte de menú vegano muy amplio.

They have a full vegan menu with several different francesinha options, hot dogs, entries and desserts. I had the tempeh francesinha and a cheesecake. The francesinha was tasty and filling, the cheese of the cheesecake had a mousse texture, more like a tiramisu.

Best Franceshina I had in porto! - Edit
I had the seitan Francesinha and it was delicious, with some spice to it I really enjoyed it. We arrived early around 7, and were seated immediately with no queue.

It was great to try some local Francesinhas! Although perhaps not very authentic, we enjoyed their curry francesinha a lot- tasted a bit like a katsu sauce. Just fyi, the house hot dog is also a francesinha haha

A pesar de no ser un sitio vegano o vegetariano, tienen una carta amplia con platos 100% vegetales. Hay varias francesinhas entre las que elegir (todas ellas con carne vegetal), además de pizzas y otros platos.

Nice - Edit
The Francesinhas were quite nice and they were big. We had the tofu one and it was tasty. Wouldn’t recommend to have the mushroom starter, the mushrooms were soggy. Not pet friendly

Not a fran - Edit
Like everyone, I knew what I was signing up for when I went to this place to try the francesinha. While I’m glad I tried it, I did not enjoy the dish. I’d be interested to know if it’s better at other restaurants (I was keen to try Casanova but it was closed). This place served us the most awful cold and stale fries (and I’ve seen other people say that here) that it makes suspicious that they actually care about making their food good. If you’re ok serving up visibly old Fries then how can you trust the food (particularly vegan food). Each of the individual components of the dish just tasted bad and chewy. We especially did not like the curry dish. Tofu was marginally better.
Read moreService is also slow and mediocre as others have commented. Almost impossible to get someone to let us have the honor of paying our bill and leaving.
Pros: Nice to have options and be included
Cons: Does not taste good, Slow and mediocre service

Casanova's francesinha is definitely better!

Best francesinha in Porto - Edit
Best francesinha I've ever had but a little bit pricey. The francesinha costs 10,70€ without the usual portion of fries (wich they charge 2€). The pint was also very expensive for 4€.
Read moreThe service is very slow, took almost 10 minutes for someone to give us the menu and another 30 minutes for our order to come. Nice place to go with a big group when you are the only vegan one.
Pros: Francesinha is really good, Full separate vegan menu
Cons: Overpriced , Service very slow

Good vegan Francesinha - Edit
Three or four different “meat” options for the vegan francesinha (tofu, Seitan etc). Price totally okay! Always full when we went so must be good for non-vegans as well

Hay muchos sitios con francesinhas veganas pero aquí tienen varias opciones. Yo me decanté por la de seitán y fue un acierto, aunque no sé si repetiría (no por el local, sino por el plato en sí).

The francesinhas here are something you must try. I had the curry version, my wife had the tofu version. I intend to return until I've tried them all.

The restaurant is beautiful, and in a rustic downtown area, and the staff is warm, friendly and helpful.
Do yourself a huge favor. Try it. You'll love it.

Lots of vegan choices - Edit
My favourite thing was the amount of choice - they have a whole vegan menu. I lovedddd my pizza it was really delicious. My partner on the other hand did not really enjoy the curry francesinhas because of the taste so personal choice.
Read moreThey also had vegan desserts which are generally rare, so I was impressed!

Glad I tried it - Edit
I’m glad I tried it as it’s a speciality of the region but not sure I’d have one again. The sauce was interesting and the smoked tofu was nice but the fries were stale and service very slow, but friendly.
