The time has come. It’s Francesinha time!
But before, we have São João! I wish all of you a great celebration! For sure the best night of the year for anyone living in Porto! On my end, I want to make sure that I eat farturas from “Mário das Farturas” at some point during the night! Highly recommended!
But let’s go back to Francesinha! This is a hard newsletter to write. First, because it’s very easy to find good francesinha in Porto. But also because this is a very dividing topic among the people that live in Porto. I’ll try my best and share some of my favorite options! Feel free to share your favorites in the comments.
So, here are my favorite francesinhas in Porto:
Taberna Londrina
Taberninha do Manel
Cervejaria Brasão
YUKO
Here are some other options that were shared with me:
Barcarola Alameda (vegetarian francesinha)
Casanova (vegetarian francesinha)
Bufete Fase
Café Santiago
Lots of great options! After making this list, I really want to have another francesinha. And for some reason, YUKO is calling me. Haven’t been there in a while and have great memories! Should I go?!
After 20 weeks and 20 editions of this newsletter, I am taking a break for the Summer. Wish you a great Summer, full of activity, sun, and great food! Will be back in September with more ideas for your weekends!
Enjoy São João!
