Lado B Café (Coliseu)

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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 :)

Found this place through a blog. The recommendation was to try the Francesinha, so we did. My partner and I shared a whole serving of the sandwich and I thought that was enough. It was very flavorful, the meat tastes stood out and the sauce was very complimentary of the whole dish. It didn’t overpower it as some of the other places tended to do. We also tried some of the desserts: the chocolate cake was rich but not the main attraction, so was the apple crumble. I would come here again and would recommend the Francesinha for those who want to try the sandwhich for the first time and not be overwhelmed by it.
