Café Santiago
No. 23The one to order
The francesinha with an egg on top and fries to soak up the beer and tomato sauce
Porto's knife-and-fork sandwich of ham, sausage and steak under melted cheese and a hot spiced sauce; Santiago's is the one locals name first.
Make it at home
Francesinha (Porto's meat sandwich in beer sauce)
1 hr · 2 (very generous). Porto's most famous plate: a stacked sandwich of steak, ham and sausages, sealed in melted cheese and drowned in a spiced tomato and beer sauce, often with a fried egg on top. Make the sauce first; it's the soul of it.
