“ We found the place we went to a few years ago! Now this is where you go for the Francesinha sandwich! We had the Afrodisiaca, the spicy one! It was delicious. Don’t go anywhere else, and it beats the Santiago cafe one by far! The full order is enough for 2 people! Located down by river. ”
“ Oh my God. This sandwich is the best. Verso does not lie when they say that their francesinha is the best. So yummy. Great service. Nice place. We went at 6pm and it was empty. I had the traditional with normal sauce but got some spicy sauce on the side. It was not overly hot! Also for non Portuguese, bring cash. Their machines don't work with outside CC. ”
“ The food here is phenomenal! We were surprised by the taste, quality and size of dishes, comparing to many other locations in Porto. Highly recommended - quality/price ratio is extremely good! ”
“ The franceschina was super tasty. But the location and atmosphere of the resto was very meh. They force you to buy whole and cannot share. Very very pushy waiters. Attitude like bruno fernandes/antony/bernado silva if you watch footie. ”
