Step into Café Restaurante O Afonso, the Porto institution that has barely changed in years. Tuck into the classic beef francesinha in a plain, honest dining room built around one famous dish.

📖

Full description

Café Restaurante O Afonso is a casual, budget-friendly restaurant that built its reputation on the francesinha, though the menu also covers grilled meats, omelettes and wine. Reviewers say it fills up fast, so arriving early matters, and one visitor noted the room looks much as it did when Anthony Bourdain ate there.

Opinions on the sauce vary, with some finding it spicy and slightly bitter and others calling it among the best francesinhas they have eaten. The classic beef version is the one most guests recommend.

Service is described as kind, fast and quiet, and visits tend to last around 75 minutes.

Reviews

It was one of the best Francisinhas that I have eaten in my life. This place is dedicated for this meal and don’t go and try something different. I had classical beef version. Very tasty and very good service. Make sure you have batatas as well. Lots of drinking options. Prices are more than fair. Service is very good…
