Portuguese comfort food - Edit
After sleeping off serious jet lag we landed here. The staff was very nice. The food was absolutely delicious and comforting. I ordered the Francesinha curry with fries. It was very flavorful. The closest comparison, to an American, is like an open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy, eaten with fork and knife. The vegan items on the menu were clearly marked. The Francesinha is local to Porto, so not to miss!

Traditional vegan Francesinha! - Edit
There were 4 options for a vegan Francesinha and one extra with puff pastry!
Read moreI ordered the tofu and it was tasty but the sauce and chips was my favourite bit. It's not healthy food at all and you'll feel full for a while afterwards but nice to try something traditional.

Fabulous local eatery with a full vegan menu - Edit
There is a full vegan menu offering 5 different types of francesinhas, the local Porto dish. I really wanted to try this dish but couldn’t as it’s heavy on the meat, so super happy to find this place. For vegetarians you can add cheese or egg.

Multiple vegan options! - Edit
This was a great spot to find multiple vegan options, especially for francesinha. We appreciated having multiple proteins and base combinations to choose from for our vegan dishes, including tofu, seitan, and tempeh. The tofu with soyrizo was tasty and very filling. The tempeh one did have raw tempeh, rather than grilled or smoked, however, and that flavor came through a bit more, despite the flavorful sauce. Next time, we would probably choose the tofu and/or seitan options for this reason. It's a really heavy and flavorful dish.
Read morePros: Multiple vegan options , Vegan menu clearly labeled
Cons: Raw tempeh made the dish a little weird, Use of wonderbread rather than quality bread

Nice one, true flavour made vegan - Edit
We went here a bit afraid of being on a tourist trap. It is turisty, theres not much charm, and we had to wait for 1,5h to get to food at the table - that being said, the vegan variety and the quality is veeeery nice comparing to other places. Juicy bread, umami filling (we ordered the seitan and the tofu one) and they were worth the wait.
Read moreVery Big and nice french fries on the side. I wont miss It for a nice and filling lunch yo try the traditional flavour and vibe of the francesinha.
Pros: Big portion, Nice flavour, Nice side
Cons: Very turisty, Crowded

A must - Edit
I went with meat eaters and a vegetarian and we got a classic francesinha and a vegan one and they were amazing. We also got the cheescake of frutos rojos and the nata do séu and they were incredible, especially the nata do séu. The staff was really friendly and they had menus in different languages. I really recommend it, we'll probably go again before leaving Oporto.

Separate vegan menu! - Edit
This was my first time to have Francesinhas, a traditional Portuguese dish. This vegan version had seitan, soy chorizo, vegan sausages, and vegetables inside toasted bread covered in melted vegan cheese then covered again with sauce. It was tasty and filling!

delicious but very filling francesinha! - Edit
here all the francesinhas have vegetables and are not so heavy on mock meats, which i dont usually like bc makes it less similar to the real version. but i was pleasently suprised with my tofu francesinha, the mushrooms and tomato werent ruining it and it still had that meaty part from the spicy chorizo. the cheese and sauce were so on point, they made the dish. and theyre generous on the sauce bc i didnt feel like i needed to ask for more by the end. but yes, i felt almost sick 3/4 through it bc its so much food😁sadly didnt have space to try the vegan desserts
Read morePros: typical, tasty
Cons: fries are extra

So many options - Edit
This place deserves four stars purely for the many options for Francesinhas and the entire vegan menu. It’s so good to come into a place where you can have so many things, and not be confined to one version of a dish.

Amazing vegan options - Edit
A great place to try Francesinhas as a vegan, super clearly labelled options. Really well thought out alternative, super tasty! I had the tempeh one and the spicy “chorizo” was a highlight.

Excellent clearly labelled vegan options - Edit
Plenty of vegan options on their own vegan section of the menu - an excellent way to try the traditional Portuguese francesinha sandwich, veganised. Not a vegan place so ideal to visit with a non-vegan

Decent vegan menu - Edit
They have a decent vegan menu with many options and the staff is very polite and helpful, but I just think Francesinhas aren’t for me. It’s worth trying if you’ve never had them before though.

Great options of a Porto classic - Edit
I didn't necessarily like this "sandwich", but to no fault of it. I highly recommend any vegan to come and try it. So many options to choose from and it's a Porto classic.

Great place to try a francesinhas - Edit
This place has 5 different vegan Francesinhas. We tried two, Tempeh and Seitan, we enjoyed them both but Tempeh was our favourite.
Read moreFrancesinha is an traditional yet unusual dish. A "meaty" sandwich soaked in a sauce/tomato soup. We have tried it elsewhere and felt the tempeh one was the best we had.
The atmosphere is casual, it's a big open restaurant, pleasant but lacking ambiance.
Great if you want to try Francesinha. Especially if with Omni's.
Pros: Good service , Clear vegan labelling , Tempeh Francesinha - best yet in Portugal
Cons: Big open restaurant lacks ambiance

Muito bom 😊 - Edit
It's worth trying both the traditional "francesinha" and a vegan 🌱 pizza from this establishment. While the francesinha wasn't quite to my taste, it's definitely an experience worth having.

Loved it in 2022. Not so much in 2023 - Edit
The francesinhas here are something you must try. I had the curry version, my wife had the tofu version. I intend to return until I've tried them all.
Read moreThey are among the most delicious dishes I've ever had.
The restaurant is beautiful, and in a rustic downtown area, and the staff is warm, friendly and helpful.
Do yourself a huge favor. Try it. You'll love it.
2024 edit: A few elements have diminished in quality. There is less cheese with a slightly grainy texture. The bread was overly dry and slightly burned. The seitan had a stale flavor, and while the sauce was as delicious as ever, there was less of it, and overall, the francesinha was dry.
Sadly, I won't bother coming back.
The pineapple desert was luscious, though, and we really enjoyed it!
Deducting a star over the diminished quality.
