Barril Avenida (francesinha da Pita) offers a unique take on the traditional francesinha, featuring pieces of kebab-style chicken meat and a thick layer of cheese with a touch of béchamel. The homemade potatoes are a highlight, and the house has gained some fame, which may explain why prices are becoming less attractive. The space is pleasant, with good decoration, and the staff are friendly. The pita francesinha without egg costs €13.50, with egg €13.90, and the sauce is very good, with an option to add more sauce in a mug. The fries are especially good when dipped in the sauce. The starters, such as tuna pate and shrimp with spicy sauce, are wonderful, and the dessert petit-gateau, priced at €4, is highly recommended, especially with vanilla ice cream and chocolate inside. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options, including a vegetarian francesinha for €9.50, and a vegetarian menu with various dishes between €2.50 and €9. Additionally, there is a vegan dish for €10. Kid-friendly choices include Mini prego and Mini salchicha, both for €5.50. The space is well located, with excellent service and good decoration, but interior lighting is poor, and the francesinha sauce is somewhat sweet. Drinks, especially beers and coffees, are quite expensive, with a recent coffee costing €1.50. Overall, the prices are high, with two people, starters, a pita francesinha, two beers, and two coffees totaling around €50.
