    (Translated by Google) Before this new owner it was in fact a good reference for francesinhas, however under this new management NEVER ORDER FRANCESINHAS BECAUSE DESPITE THE NEW OWNER'S PREPOTENCE IN PLACING AN ADVERTISING SAYING THE BEST FRANCESINHAS IN PORTO ARE SIMPLY THE WORST I HAVE EVER HAD, and believe me that I've eaten many in different places, I paid well I ate badly. It is my opinion that the owner doesn't even know what a francesinha is. Burnt bread, horrible sauce, water, salt and oil and the cheese used, not even my cat eats. I've had bad francesinhas but never this bad (Original) Antes deste novo dono era de facto uma boa referencia para as francesinhas , porém nesta nova gerência NUNCA PEÇAM FRANCESINHA PORQUE APESAR DA PREPOTÊNCIA DO NOVO DONO AO COLOCAR UMA PUBLICIDADE A DIZER AS MELHORES FRANCESINHAS DO PORTO SÃO SIMPLESMENTE DAS PIORES QUE JÁ COMI, e acreditem que já comi muitas em variados sitios, paguei bem comi mal. é de minha opinião que o dono nem sequer sabe o que é uma francesinha.Pão queimado, molho horrivel agua sal e oleo e o queijo usado nem o meu gato come.e atenção ao conteudo diz que traz mas não traz . já comi más francesinhas mas nunca tão más

    The food was good despite the francesinha sauce being a little weak, excellent service, what's better is that there is only one waitress on the ground floor serving the tables and also having to attend to the games part

    Que bom tentar devolver a alma ao Mon Ami, um dos marcos importantes da nossa cidade. O atendimento foi excelente. A comida estava muito boa. Adorei as papas de sarrabulho!

    Noutros tempos foi um café emblemático. Sempre cheio, conhecido pelos petiscos e pelas francesinhas. Depois de muitas obras e remodelações perdeu tudo o que lhe era característico. No presente preparar-se para fachar uns tempos para ser reabilitado ea ideia e ser como era antigamente. Vamos esperar. O atual pessoal é muito simpático.

    Good food and a pleasant atmosphere. It's worth trying the francesinha which, as mentioned in other comments, is made with a house recipe.

    35 years later I returned, although with a different layout and different management, the experience was positive and I recommend both the floured tripe starter and the francesinha.

    Almoço rápido. Escolhi o prato do dia petinga com arroz de tomate. Estava bom mas a petinga era grande para o meu gosto. Prefiro quando é da pequenina, mas tirando isso, estava tudo bom. A sopa com uma excelente apresentação. Simpatia e rapidez. Gostei. Já lá fui comer francesinhas e tb recomendo.

    Gostei da francesinha acompanhada com molho ligeiramente picante. Os pratos do dia também são bem servidos, com boa apresentação.

    Pedi um cachorro que não consegui comer na totalidade era puro sal tão salgado que fiquei com a boca a arder , a caminho de regresso ao hotel ate me senti.mal disposto e zonzo ... A senhora que atendeu inicialmente muito simpática o serviço foi acabado por uma outra funcionária bastante arrogante e antipática que fez o pagamento e nem sequer agradeceu no fim simplesmente virou às costas ... Não volto .

    The best Frenchie. After the renovation it looks fantastic. Dream balcony and first floor. Worth the visit. 5 star service.

    Once a really great restaurant it is now a shell of what it was. Service was terrible, food never came after 1 hour, no explanations on why other tables that arrived later got theirs besides a "It's not our fault". The owner/manager was very unpleasant and rude. A friend of mine actually got to taste the food on another occasion and said that it wasn't anything special or good which in Porto and Gaia with so many more good places makes thia place not worth going. I'll miss you but your prime time is gone.
