"Smaller than most spots in Little Portugal, Velho Portugal more than makes up for it in charm, from the brick walls to repurposed wine barrel furniture. Portion sizes are gigantic, and this is the place to bring a group of friends (book ahead), order a bunch of petiscos, and see where the night takes you. Of those petiscos, the enormous pile of clams in white wine sauce is superb, while juicy, plump prawns in a Dracula-repelling garlic sauce and grilled sardines are on point. Go for the francesinha too: Porto’s outlandish ham, sausage, steak, cheese, and fried egg sandwich doused in rich sauce. It’s heavy but delicious, and comes with excellent fries.
