Fulfilling Francesinha in Porto

Francesinha is the signature dish originated from Porto and is a must try if you are in town. It consists of two slices of bread, with beef steak, cured ham, and cheese in between, then top with a sumptuous beer and cheese sauce. The portion is actually quite big, so we ordered one to be shared, and adding the crispy onion ring which is beautifully presented like a flower! As suggested by the locals, it is best to be enjoyed with the local beer - Super Bock. Francesinha is served in many restaurants in Porto and the one that we visited - Bassaio Aliado- is said to be one of the best in town. Do give it a try! #urbanexplorer #foodie #portugal #porto
