Tasty - Edit
Offer choices of vegan francesinha sandwiches which is amazing as not found this anywhere else. Highly recommend. A bit hard to find but worth looking for! The sandwiches were tasty and I’m not usually a fan of vegan cheese but it worked. We had tempeh and seitan and both were good.

4 vegetarian/vegan francesinhas! - Edit
4 diferent types of francesinhas, you have to ask for it to be vegan so they´ll put vegan cheese on it and no egg. They are all really good! Although they are a bit inconsistente and service can be slow on busy nights such as during the weekend.
Read moreThe vegan desert is no good though!
Good prices.

Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals - Edit
This is a large, friendly and professional establishment which specialises in the big brother of the croque monsieur known as the Francesinha. A Porto delicacy. Quite a remarkable dish, loosely comparable to the Middlesborough Parmo, which has been duly veganised here. Or should that be spelt with a 'z'? I'm not sure. The meat free menu is extensive, offering no less than 6 mouth watering versions of the Francesinha with combinations of tofu, seitan, cured tofu and tempeh all drenched in the delicious house sauce. At only €8.50 each they are a bargain and you can wash them down with a large Super Bock and (here's the best bit) watch Champions League Football on the big screen at the back! Fantastic location too by the way, right in the heart of the Baixa. We had the curry seitan and the regular seitan Francesihnas served with a portion of fries to help mop up the sauce. The staff fully confirmed that all cheeses and sauces used are vegan and are proud of the fact that they get a lot of vegan customers coming through their doors.

tasty - Edit
I really liked this restaurant, it's traditional and smart inside but not pretentious and there was a good atmosphere when we visited. The staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgable and informative about the vegetarian options which were confirmed as fully vegan to us by 2 members of staff. The food was very good, I opted for the curry francesinha which included seitan, sausage and cheese, all of excellent quality. Very reasonable prices. I would definitely return.

Low quality food but gives you the chance to try a Francesinha if you are vegan! - Edit
As some of us are vegetarian, we wanted a chance to try the Portuguese specially the Francesinha and decided to try this restaurant. There was clearly no locals and it seems the place is just meant for tourist as there is also a fado experience available.
Read moreThe staff was absolutely lovely but the vegetarian Francesinha we had were very heavy and the bread wasn´t really nice.
Our father who tried other meat Francesinha in Porto mentioned that there was no comparaison. Quite a low quality meal but it's great to have the chance to try a vegan Francesinha! :)
Pros: Chance to try a Francesinha, Friendly staff
Cons: A bit scruffy, Low value

Vege francescinhas - Edit
Touristy restaurant with vegetarian and vegan dishes. It's your chance to get a francescinhas. However I was with someone who had a regular one before and who said that the one he had here was quite bland compared to the other one.

very tasty experience - Edit
comparing with the traditional, for me the vegan one is better,. The menu says vegetarian but is strictly vegetarian, in other words vegan. The weird thing was having tomato inside the francesinha, if it was zuquini it would be better. the violife cheese, the mozarella one is amazing and the sauce was amazing too. the tempeh could be tastier but it was ok
Read morethe waiters were really nice and knew what vegan means,

Tasty - Edit
I had lunch in this restaurant last week and the staff was really friendly. They have a vegetarian menu which is labeled as 100% vegetarian. I had the tofu francesinha and double checked if it had vegan cheese and the waitress corfirmed and said that if we wanted the other cheese we had to ask, otherwise it was vegan.
Read moreIn the beggining of the meal we were offered the mushrooms with sauce as an entree which were really tasty and resembled traditional portuguese food.
The main dish (tofu francesinha) was tasty but I didn't felt like the flavour was to similar to the original francesinha which was good for me as I don't like tasting vegan food which has the same flavour as the animal product ones. For the francesinha I paid about 8 euros.
For dessert I had the wild fruit cheesecake which is also vegan and it was really well presented and tasty.

Super lecker Francesinha - Edit
Das Francesinha hier ist der Wahnsinn. Der Käse ist zu 100% vegan (simply V) - meine omnoivore Begleitung konnte das im direkten Vergleich bestätigen. Ihr könnt also aufhören zu spekulieren und einfach eine portugiesische Spezialität für wenig Geld ( Francesinha de Seitan, 8,50€) genießen.

Was definitely vegan - Edit
After seeing comments I triple asked and checked that they have vegan cheese. Was reassured by the manager that the cheese they use is coconut oil based. Menu has vegetarian section but the manager says everything on it is vegan unless customer asks otherwise. We had one francesinhas with tofu and one with seitan. Both were solid and I'd recommend either to get a taste of the francesinhas.

great place to try a dish only found in Porto - Edit
Has several all vegan Frencesinhas and they're labeled as such on the menu - tofu, seitan, and tempeh. I got the seitan and it was delicious. I think they use violife cheese but I did not ask.
