Argentine Restaurants near Porto, PT

“Casanova is a true hidden gem in Porto. While not fully vegan, their dedicated plant-based menu is packed with local classics, thoughtfully veganized. We went for a celebration and couldn’t skip two staples: the pica-pau and the francesinha—both were excellent. The francesinha easily lands in my top 3. Built with vegan sausages and marinated seitan, it had the perfect texture and richness. The sauce could be slightly more flavorful, but overall it was spot on. The pica-pau was another win, full of variety and bold taste thanks to the mix of seitan and sausages. To top it off, we shared all the vegan desserts on the menu—yes, all of them! Highlights were definitely the bolo de bolacha and doce da casa. Both were creamy, nostalgic, and the perfect sweet ending. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Porto through a vegan lens, this place is a must.“

“Authentically Portuguese. One of the best francesinhas I've ever had. The bread is traditional (not industrialized). It comes with a good amount of cheese. The sauce is just perfect, the best one in my opinion.
And it is cheap.“

“Our waiter, Bruno, was great - very nice and attentive! Food was okay. It wasn't the most flavorful, but the quantities were good and the presentation lovely. Chef provided a free tapas taster and a Beirao taster after the meal...yum! Dessert was delicious. We were in town during a busy time and were happy to get a reservation on short notice.“

“If you go to Porto, take tram 1 to see the Felgueiras lighthouse, don't forget to have a coffee on the terrace of this bar, they serve some very good sweets, which together with the coffee and the atmosphere, you will almost like it more than the lighthouseAnd the waiters are super nice.“

“Stopped here after a full day excursion for a bite & beer. Loved the atmosphere, service, food and beers! It definitely felt more local and less touristy even being close enough to the busy part of the Ribiera. Would for sure stop again if we come back.“

“Because the food is so good, we went twice for breakfast and gelatos. The inside is small but they have wonderful outdoor seating. Rebeca waited on us both days for breakfast, she is a sweet doll. We had smoothies, lemon pancakes, nutella/banana pancakes. Highly recommend a visit or two to this little cafe.“

“We saw great recommendations for this place so we had to come.

The “prego” is perfect! Very tasty meat.
The pica-pau sauce is to die for ?

We also had the little hot dog, I didn’t like it much, maybe the sauce.

Real French fries ☺️
We will return and we want to try the mixed toast.“

“I only went there once, and my rating goes to the francesinhas, as they are excellent. For those who don't like very spicy sauce, I don't advise it, because they are potent. Well served, with a large platter of fries to go with it. The service is excellent, always asking if it was good and if we wanted anything else. The atmosphere is very peaceful, a place to go with friends to chat and have fun eating and drinking. Rest of the food I don't know how it will be, because as I said it was the 1st time.“

“The food is wonderful and the staff is very helpful. Excellent quality-price ratio. There are always several meal options for lunch, and you can always take food outside (in this case, I recommend bringing your own containers).
I recommend trying the francesinha on Fridays.“
