Santiago da Praça is a recommended French restaurant in Porto, known for its delicious francesinha dish priced at €13-14. The restaurant, linked to the famous Café Santiago, offers friendly service and a satisfying dining experience. The francesinha is a dense and large portion, filled with a lot of cheese, medium-rare sirloin steak, smoky and salty chorizo, and melting mortadella. The sauce has a perfect balance of sweetness from port, spice, creaminess, savory tomato flavor, and a slight bitterness from beer. The egg on top is ideally runny, the bread is lightly crispy, and the cheese is thick and creamy. The chips are crispy, salty, and excellent for soaking up the sauce. The Pasteis de bacalhau are incredibly creamy with a lightly crusted exterior, made from potato, dried cod, onion, garlic, olive oil, and parsley, with a subtle nutmeg flavor. Despite some waiting due to the restaurant's popularity, the generous portions and friendly service make it a worthwhile visit for those wanting to enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine.
