Better than expected - Edit
I had the tempeh Francesinha and it was honestly amazing. Cheese was melty, fries were great, and very substantial portion size. Would definitely go back.

Tasty and affordable - Edit
We ordered to takeaway and were impressed with the range of vegan options.
Read moreUnlike others we were impressed with the vegan francesinha (tofu) and thought it better than others we'd tried in Portugal. The hotdog was a little plain, with just lettuce and tomato, but it was affordable at around €6. Pizza was a very thin base, which might not be everyone's preference, with good tomato sauce and plentiful cheese.
Overall, a good option for a late night bite and cheap for the area with a francesinha, hotdog and pizza for under €24.
Pros: Separate vegan menu, Cheap, Central

Bleh. - Edit
This places is lacking flavor and atmosphere. We tried the vegan francesinha and it was super boring. I appreciate their commitment to offering vegan items (they have a whole menu) but the place feels super commercial. Maybe the pizza is better?

Francesinha & Pizza - Edit
Wir waren mit vier Kindern hier und wurden beim ersten Versuch, dieses Lokal zu betreten recht rüde abgewiesen. Uns wurde gesagt, es hätte geschlossen (was nicht gestimmt hat) und man würde nur mit Reservierung reinkommen. Ich habe dann für den nächsten Tag per App reserviert. Gleiches Spiel, ich musste mehrmals sagen, dass wir reserviert haben. Schlussendlich durften wir dann dort essen. Das vegane Francesinha war ok, die Pizza war dafür wirklich sehr gut. Die Bedienung wollte uns dann noch ein Dessert empfehlen. Gut, dass wir es nicht genommen haben, denn es war die tierische Variante. Wurde auch erst nach mehrmaligem Nachfragen bestätigt.
Read morePros: Pizza sehr lecker!
Cons: Mit Kindern schwierig, Vegan muss öfter wiederholt werden, Unfreundlicher "Türsteher"

The worst francesinha I've ever had!! - Edit
I have to say this place is super overrated and was a major disappointment. I had been there once with friends but only had dessert while they had dinner so I went back for a meal when I had the chance.
Read moreMe and my gf both chose the vegan tofu francesinhas. The vegan cheese was not good and it was greasy, the sauce was bitter and watery, the fries were clearly frozen and not well fried. It had an overall bad taste. We couldn't even finish the meal and went somewhere else.
Before leaving the staff asked us if we enjoyed the food but once we said we weren't satisfied and had better francesinhas in Guimarães, the floor manager spoke in a condescending tone. I wouldn't go back even if the food was free.

Ok Francesinha, good cheesecake - Edit
I had the Francesinha with tempeh, it was ok, the tempeh was plain, not preprared at all. I had better Francesinha at fully vegan places.
Read moreThe cheesecake was good though, almost like a mousse, very light.

Fancy tavern vibe place, with many vegan traditional Portuguese food options, pizzas and desserts. The portions are quite filling and the staff is very friendly and they accept debt/credit international cards (some places only take PT cards or cash).
Read morePros: Traditional PT food veganized, Friendly staff, Cozy atmosphere

We had a really nice convo with the hostess and she is very aware of GMO and knows alot about the products they serve.

The place to get a vegan francesinha! - Edit
They have an entire vegan menu, which includes not only francesinhas, but also other sort of dishes (such as vegan sausages or pizza), but the business is focused mostly on francesinhas, so it is a perfect place to try traditional food of Porto. As to the francesinhas, I am not a big fan, but I could compare the vegan one to a traditional one and can guarantee it was not missing anything. Moreover, they offer vegan desserts too, which is not common to non vegan restaurants. For me is a must visit for every tourist in Porto and I would give them 5 stars if I could.
Read morePros: plenty of vegan options, vegan desserts
Cons: none!

The chili’s of Porto? - Edit
Three star restaurant service at a sports bar? The food was kind of…fast foodie… no green veggies or anything. Sticks to your ribs kind of food. Extensive vegan menu. Tv was showing the Olympics and the music was fairly loud pop. Great for the right mood.

Disappointing but okay - Edit
Overall we were a tad disappointed by the experience, the fries were hard and stale, the tempeh francesinhas was not very flavorful/tasty, and the cheesecake also was just okay. We wouldn't come back again but I will say we were impressed by the separate full vegan menu they had, and the number of options. The servers were also very friendly and nice.
Read morePros: Surprising number of vegan options
Cons: Food was not very good
