📖

Full description

Bufete Fase is a casual Portuguese restaurant in Porto built around the francesinha, the city's layered meat sandwich smothered in sauce. Reviewers single out the sauce as the real attraction, with one visitor calling it the best of all the top-rated francesinhas they sampled.

Staff come across as warm and attentive, checking in on tables, and one first-timer noted that the kitchen split their portion onto two plates without being asked. The medium spicy sauce is mentioned by name.

With a 4.5 rating, low prices and a typical stay of around 45 minutes, it suits a quick, filling lunch or dinner for solo travellers and pairs.

Reviews

Bufete Fase was a fantastic first experience trying a Franceshina, we got the medium spicy sauce and they even portioned it onto 2 plates for us which was really appreciated. A must try! Take note however they only accept cash. We will definitely be back!
