Lado B Café (Coliseu)

Tried the Franchesinha here. It's a must try dish in Porto. Unfortunately it wasn't to my taste but that isn't a reflection on the restaurant. The service was really good and the atmosphere was great. It's a really nice cafe. Modern. It's a shame I didn't like the famous dish. But from other reviews, this is the place to try it.

I think they’re using the same potato chips for different tables. As soon as I sat down, they placed a small bowl of potato chips on the table. After my main dish arrived, the waiter took it without saying anything (it was full). Another waiter noticed the suprised look on my face and brought it back. But then it happened again- twice during the same meal. I ordered the vegetarian francesinha with french fries, not my flavor but the sauce was good.

We tried the famous Francesinha, along with fries and a cold Super Bock. The service was fast and friendly, and the food arrived hot – served on a nicely warmed plate, which was a great touch. While the Francesinha wasn’t quite to my personal taste, that’s purely a matter of preference and not a reflection on the restaurant itself. Everything was well prepared and presented. A great spot with solid service – definitely worth a visit if you're curious to try a local classic!

We shuffled up into this mother to try the famous francesinha of Portugal. I have not marked the restaurant down despite me not enjoying the dish. The food was all cooked well and having vegan alternatives is always great. There’s beers and food was very reasonably priced. I just find the dish to be weird.

Known as the best Francesinha in Porto, right next door to their direct competition, but you can't go wrong either way, try them both! We also had the hot dog sandwich, forgot what its called but it was delicious as well :)

I recommend this cozy place. Fast service, nice staff, good food. We had to wait for only about 10 min to get a table. Great atmosphere too :)

The place looks modern and it lacks that vibe of a traditional “homely” environment, as it mostly resembles a place that local employees would visit on their lunch break. They patented the “best … in the world” slogan for their Francesinha and their chocolate cake, and I decided to try both. I never had a francesinha before, but my experience was positive, and I’ve noticed local people did order it as well. The cake was really good, but far from deserving the title of “best in the world”. Service was a bit slow, but I would recommend this place as it’s also a bit far away from more crowded areas which is great

Very tasty and affordable. Much better than the neighbours. We had francesinha,hot dog, soup, apple crumble (just from the oven, very tasty)
