Casanova is a small family restaurant in Porto that serves excellent food at a democratic price. The menu features a variety of options, with a dedicated plant-based section packed with local classics, including the highly-acclaimed vegan francesinha and the pica-pau, both of which are excellent choices. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and helpful team that makes customers feel like family. The restaurant is clean, with separate men's and women's toilets. The outdoor seating area is charming, allowing guests to enjoy their meals on the terrace. The staff is always available to fulfill requests and speak perfect English, making it accessible for everyone. For dessert, all options are vegan, with highlights like the bolo de bolacha and doce da casa, providing a nostalgic and sweet ending to the meal. Casanova is a true hidden gem that offers an authentic taste of Porto through a vegan lens, making it a must-visit for those looking for a casual dining experience. Recent reviews highlight the delicious vegan francesinha and vegan Hotdog, both praised for their flavorful sauces, good plant-based alternatives, and perfect melting cheese. Customers also enjoyed the vegan cheesecake, describing it as impressive. The friendly staff and cozy, casual atmosphere add to the positive experience. The restaurant is also recommended for visits with non-vegan friends or family, offering multiple vegan options of typical Porto dishes. The staff's knowledge about vegan products and certification by ProVeg ensure quality and authenticity. While the francesinha was tasty, some found it less flavorful than other places, but appreciated the use of high-protein alternatives that resemble the original dish. Overall, Casanova provides a very satisfying and welcoming experience for all diners.
