Stopped
in
for
a
semi
late
lunch
on
a
Monday
at
around
2
pm.
Maybe
that's
the
normal
lunch
hour
around
here
because
there
were
a
good
amount
of
people
still
dining/coming
in
around
that
time.
I
randomly
found
this
spot
because
I
saw
it
on
Google
Maps
and
it
was
right
by
the
hotel
we
were
staying
at.
It
had
great
reviews
so
we
decided
to
come
check
it
out.
We
sat
at
the
rooftop,
which
is
kind
of
enclosed
but
luckily
it
wasn't
too
cold
anyway.
It
had
a
nice
chill
vibe.
For
drinks,
I
had
the
green
wine.
I
wasn't
really
sure
what
that
was
but
decided
to
try
it.
It's
kind
of
like
a
white
wine,
which
I
don't
even
normally
like.
But
this
green
wine
was
very
good.
It
was
light,
crisp,
and
refreshing.
Hubby
had
come
kind
of
spicy
chili
cocktail,
which
was
interesting
because
it
had
a
kick
to
it.
He
enjoyed
it.
Their
most
popular
sandwich
seems
to
be
the
pernil
with
sheep's
head
cheese
and
I
can
see
why.
The
4
stars
here
are
really
just
for
this
sandwich
and
the
drinks.
The
pork
is
tender
and
the
cheese
is
perfectly
melty.
It's
also
the
perfect
sized
sandwich
if
you're
not
that
hungry
and
don't
want
something
massive,
but
want
more
than
just
a
little
snack.
You
definitely
need
to
eat
this
fresh
while
you're
there
though.
We
got
one
to
go
on
a
separate
day
to
bring
back
to
the
hotel
and
the
meat
was
a
little
dried
out,
and
the
bread
was
soggy.
The
cheese
was
still
good
though.
Hubby
had
the
Guedes
Francesinha
(house
bread,
roasted
pork,
egg,
mortadella,
chorizo,
fresh
sausage,
ham,
gouda
cheese,
and
special
sauce).
This
was
our
first
time
trying
a
francesinha.
Looking
at
photos
online,
we
already
knew
it
would
be
too
heavy,
and
it
was.
I
also
don't
like
my
sandwiches
covered
in
sauce
because
I
hate
soggy
bread.
But
still,
we
wanted
to
try
one
since
we
were
just
visiting
Portugal.
This
came
with
a
pretty
big
plate
of
fries.
We
almost
ordered
a
side
of
aioli
to
go
with
the
fries
but
our
waiter
suggested
against
it
because
the
francesinha
already
comes
with
a
bunch
of
sauce
and
it
would
be
too
heavy.
Glad
we
listened
to
him.
The
fries
were
kind
of
soggy,
matching
the
theme
of
the
heavy
sandwich.
Overall,
I
would
say
stick
to
the
simple
dishes
(like
the
roasted
pork
and
sheep's
cheese)
and
maybe
a
few
tapas
and
drinks
and
you'll
have
a
great
experience.
