A Regaleira

This place was recommended by our bolt driver in Lagoa and it was the best food we had on our trip here. We had made a reservation that day and arrived at 18:00 right when they opened and were shown to our seats quickly. The food was absolutely delicious, the fish was grilled to perfection and the seafood rice was sizzling in the pot and filled with wonderful ingredients like mussels, prawns, and crab. The flavour of the rice in its stew was simply amazing. Since we sat outside, there were constantly flies, but the waiter noticed right away and immediately brought us a fly fan. We really appreciated the quick response, such an excellent observation and truly top-notch service. If our stay in Lagoa were to be longer, we would have definitely returned for another meal.

Lovely place to try francesinha. Very polite and prompt service from the staff. It was a nice way to end my travels in Portugal, however would recommend either doing a walk before or after the dish given it is quite heavy feeling.

We didn’t have any reservation but were given a table at the basement. All the tables were occupied at the first floor. Service is top notch (one of the best). We got a veal and a fish dish. We enjoyed the food.

A Regaleira is a historical and authentic restaurant in Porto with a long tradition in making Franchesinha. One of the earliest places to serve this iconic dish, their recipe offers a truly original and authentic taste of Porto’s Franchesinha. The food is delicious, the staff are kind and welcoming, and the location is perfect for enjoying a genuine local experience. A must-visit for anyone who wants to taste history on a plate.

Lovely historic spot for ye original Franceshina. Very filling. We also had a local Rose which was fab and reasonably priced, and my wife bravely tried another local delicacy, tripe. Not my fav to be honest. A must visit spot while in Porto.

The Francesinha 1952 was great! The cod with mash was superb too! Great service staff!

Excellent restaurant and food been here several times over 10 days - Angelo is a fantastic ambassador and a credit to A Regaleira. Great meal with salmon fillet & puddings - best restaurant in Porto - we shall visit again.

Home of the Francesinha, this place is rich with history. The service was really good and the food was excellent. Price was incredible and you get full value for your dollar.
