Francesinha is a hearty Portuguese sandwich, originating from the city of Porto. Its name translates to “little Frenchie,” reflecting its French influences, particularly from the croque-monsieur. The dish is known for its rich flavors and indulgent ingredients.

A traditional francesinha typically consists of layers of cured meats, such as ham, linguiça (smoked sausage), and steak, all piled between slices of bread. The sandwich is then generously topped with a spicy and savory tomato and beer sauce, which is often infused with a variety of spices. After being smothered in the sauce, the sandwich is usually baked and covered with melted cheese, creating a gooey and decadent topping.

Francesinhas are often served with a side of French fries and sometimes topped with a fried egg. The dish is particularly popular in Porto and is considered a comfort food, enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike. Each restaurant may have its own variation, with some adding unique ingredients or twists to the traditional recipe, making it a versatile and beloved staple of Portuguese cuisine.

Francesinha is a twentieth-century creation attributed to Daniel David de Silva, who upon returning to Portugal from time spent in France and Belgium, tried to adapt the croque-monsieur to Portuguese tastes. In 1953 he introduced a sandwich with local meats and a custom beer-and-tomato sauce at A Regaleira, a restaurant in Rua do Bonjardim in Porto. The francesinha quickly became a popular dish, and while it remains associated with the city, it can now be found throughout Portugal.

Available here made from scratch for lunch and dinner upon reservation made at least 48 hours in advance.

Roasted potatoes and beer are sold apart.
