"Friendly cafe where my family and I found the best Francesinha! The sauce was delicious and full of flavour. The staff were super friendly and helpful - they also made these delicious burgers for the kids (burger, ham, cheese and egg) and took into consideration my son’s sesame allergy. And not to mention their homemade hand cut fries! Deliciously fresh and crispy. A must try if you’re in Porto :)"

"Um dos últimos sítios da cidade onde se sente tudo o que faz do Porto a cidade incrível que sempre foi. Pessoas simpáticas, uma francesinha de uma qualidade incrível e o melhor atendimento e dedicação dos donos que se pode pedir. Desde o momento em que reservámos, em que referiram que não conseguiriam servir um grupo de 11 pessoas, não por falta de espaço, mas porque tinham receio de não conseguir atender todos ao mesmo tempo (e mesmo assim atenderam!), o que demonstra a qualidade do serviço desde o início! Muito obrigado Filipe e Cristina, ficaram com fãs e clientes para uma próxima! E viva o grande Porto!!"
