📖

Full description

Casa de Presuntos "O Xico" is a budget-friendly sandwich spot in Porto with a modest 76 reviews but a 4.8 rating and a reputation among those who find it. The headline is the presunto sandwich, stuffed so generously with good-quality cured ham and cheese that one reviewer struggled to finish it.

The bifana, a pork sandwich, gets its own recommendation, while the rissois draw a more mixed reaction. Visits are short, around 30 minutes, and it is only open from midday to early evening on Saturdays and closed on Mondays, so it works best as a daytime lunch stop for solo travellers and anyone chasing local food.

Reviews

It's almost cartoonish how much presunto you get in a bread. I was almost not able to eat the thing. Very good quality meat though and the cheese really goes very well. The rissois I got there though, tasted like nothing. So I recommend to stick with the presunto.
