Full description

Lado B Café sits by the Coliseu and has become a go-to for francesinha, the layered meat sandwich smothered in sauce that Porto is known for. Reviewers describe the portions as very filling and the taste as distinctive, and mention that local staff from other taverns point visitors here.

It takes no reservations and is popular with locals, so arriving early helps avoid a wait. With over 5,000 reviews, mid-range pricing and long opening hours covering both lunch and dinner, it works as a reliable, unfussy stop for a hearty meal.

Service is quick and polite despite the crowds.

Reviews

We were here as a family of four, two adults and two children and ordered four francesinhas for €60. They were very tasty and well prepared. The only downside was the price, which could have been a little more affordable. Overall, a very good experience!
