Great vegan francesinha - Edit
From someone that used to eat these religiously as an omnivore growing up, i found the francesinhas pretty great. Sauce is good, cheeky chips on the side, and of course a (few) imperiais! 🍻

Eu comi francesinha de seitan e achei ok, não é a melhor que já comi e nem a pior.

Francesinhas deliciosas - Edit
Tem muitas opções vegan (vários tipos de francesinhas com queijo vegan, cachorros, alheiras...) e todas as que provei estavam deliciosas. Ambiente simpático e tradicional.

Simply the best 💋 - Edit
First time trying a Vegan Francesinha and it was an amazing experience! I had the Seitan Francesinha and it was delicious, it fills you up very quickly but is so worth it! The staff were so friendly and happy, always making us laugh. The place is very calm and has lots of space. You definitely need to check it out!!

Good option when travelling in a group - Edit
We came here as two of us were vegan and two not in our group and we all wanted to try the Francesinha. The vegan version was good, I feel they could have taken a bit more time to melt the cheese (vegan cheese takes a bit longer to get the melt you would want for this dish), we tried the tofu version but I think I would try for the seitan version next time, I think it would go better rather than slices of tofu. Overall good experience, friendly staff, the starter and the vegan cheesecake was also very nice.

Best Vegan Francesinha and Pica Pau - Edit
We visited Al Forno last week during the afternoon and were glad to see that there was a variety of vegan francesinhas and also a couple of vegan starters and desserts.
Read moreThe place is a bit dark, no music and football on TV so it probably has a better atmosphere at night.
We had a tofu francesinha, pica pau, fries and cheesecake for dessert. The francesinha was delicious, probably the best we had so far, because of it's simplicity and lightness. The pica pau was also well prepared and the mix of sweet, sour and spicy sauce was perfect.
The cheesecake was nice but it was more of a mousse because of the whipped cream I suppose.
Overall, it was a good experience and we'll surely recommend and revisit when we can.

Decepcionante - Edit
Entramos en el local y de inmediato vienen a tomarnos nota, sin dejarnos un minuto para consultar la carta.
Read morePedimos dos francesinhas (una de ellas con seitán) y patatas fritas. Nos supo a plato preparado y descongelado en el momento, con sabor a sopa picante. Las patatas parecían también congeladas pero sí tenían algo de sabor.
No fue una gran experiencia con las francesinhas.
Pros: Opciones vegetarianas
Cons: Platos congelados, Sabor de los platos

Surprisingly good francesinha - Edit
I didn’t think that I would like this dish (francesinha) but I did. It was fresh out of the oven. I got the tempeh version. I also had the wild berry vegan cheesecake which was also awesome
Read morePros: Option of tofu, tempeh, or wheat gluten versions

I always find myself returning to this restaurant. The sassyness of the waitstaff, the tasty francesinha, the tasty drinks. I just dont love their deserts and looks like since it was re-purchased it changed in quality.

Rico - Edit
Buscábamos otro y acabamos cenando en este restaurante. Trato amable, rápido de servir y rico. No especialmente bonito. Tienen unas cuantas opciones veganas (incluyendo la francesinha obviamente). La tarta de queso vegano muy rica, pero más que queso era nata (vegana).

didn’t love it, but would probably recommend - Edit
first things first - i’ve never tried the “real”, non-vegan francesinhas, so it could be that i just don’t love the taste in general.
Read morewhile i found my tempeh francesinha lacking in flavour, the tempeh itself banged.
the service is good if you’re ready to spend a lot of money, but they did treat us visibly differently since we only wanted a francesinha each + fries.
however, they do have a very decent selection of vegan options. good place to eat with omni companions
Pros: vegan menu, location
Cons: food wasn’t amazing, service

No words - Edit
A truly disappointing meal. Greacy, overly salted. And on top of that flies around our table. This is a tourist grab. Definitely a regrettable stop, I felt nauseous after two bites.The olives were good so thats one thing

Très bonne adresse ! - Edit
Avant de parler de la carte, nous ne pouvons que saluer et apprécier l’accueil que nous avons reçu du début à la fin. Nous nous sommes mêmes vu proposés de goûter gratuitement un petit verre de Porto à la fin par la serveuse.
Read moreLa Francesinha est un plat incontournable et là-bas, vous pourrez la goûter en version végane, de façon « classique » ou « revisitée ». Du choix donc. Pour couronner notre repas, nous avons opté pour la mousse au chocolat et ce fut un régal !

Amazing! - Edit
It’s the most tasty vegan francesinha that I ever had ! I choosed the tempeh francesinha and it was a blast. The vegan menu offers you a lots of options, also we order first the “the cogumelos à bulhão pato” it was also good but it was missing a little bit more of flavor. The rest was perfect!

Amazing francesinhas - Edit
This restaurant has an amazing venue in the centro of Oporto.
Read moreEverything is amazing, specially the bread, the olives and the francesinha.
They have a full vegan menu, with starters, dishes and desserts.
The tempeh francesinha is heaven sent.
The mushrooms and the cheesecake are so remarkable, even if not so incredible as the main dish.
It is not expensive at all, unless you ask for Oporto wine sangria (but it’s so worthy).
Pros: Francesinha, Full vegan menu , Venue and location

The place to try the vegan Francesinha - Edit
Take the suggestion from this local Porto guide: this is the place to try the vegan Francesinha. I've been around most places that serve vegetarian / vegan francesinhas (I'm from here and I loved Francesinhas before changing my diet) and this is the best at the moment. There are other options, but in my opinion this is the version that is most respectful to the original meat version. It serves the meat version as well so it's a good place to take a mixed group of people.
Read morePros: Best vegan Francesinha in town, Room for bigger groups, Well priced
