    Extremely mediocre vegetarian Francesinha, basically vegetables heated in the middle of the bread. I couldn't even taste the cheese, and the fries were cold and dry. The sauce is basically tomato pulp/tomato sauce without anything else. The prices are extremely high for the standard of food they serve. Unfortunately for the name and renown that this restaurant had in francesinhas and the like, I can say that it was the worst vegetarian francesinha I have ever eaten.

    A prego on a plate of around 150 to 200 gr with French fries and a bowl of rice. High prices vs average quality. The steak was tender and the fries were crispy and hot, while the rice was a little salty for my taste. Otherwise, the intention was to eat quickly. Adequate service.

    (Translated by Google) Super bad service. Although the food was good, the service was very bad. It does not encourage the customer to choose things from the menu. It just seems like you're just here to get paid at the end of the month. Recommended food but terrible service (Original) Atendimento super péssimo. Embora a comida fosse boa, o atendimento foi super péssimo. Não incentiva o cliente a escolher as coisas do menu. Apenas parece que está aqui só para receber ao final do mês. Comida recomendada,mas atendimento péssimo

    (Translated by Google) Horrible employee service, bordering on arrogance, unfriendly, and with a lack of listening, she doesn't even know how to listen. Because that's why "you're on the right track" I'm being ironic, of course. Please provide training in KNOWLEDGE TO RECEIVE, as the success of any Company is an Appropriate Training. Smiling, creates empathy, knowing how to serve, makes the customer come back. Never here again and I will advise anyone. Sincerely (Original) Atendimento da colaboradora horrível, a roçar a arrogância, antipática, e com uma falta de escuta, nem sabe ouvir. Pois por isso " estão no bom caminho " estou a ser irónico, claro. Por favor dêem formação de SABER RECEBER, pois o êxito de qualquer Empresa é um a Formação Adequada. Sorrir, cria empatia, saber atender, faz com que o cliente volte. Aqui nunca mais e aconselharei a ninguém. Cordialmente

    It was once A Francesinha do Cascata!! Now it's just another simple Frenchie... I was really disconsolate... the only good thing... was my company at the table!!

    (Translated by Google) This place has a very unpatient employee, she had a face of few friends and when I went to the cashier she told me that.... I quote You have to sit down and wait for my colleague to answer you. To which I replied that I did not know because in the rest of the restoration it is not like that I was treated with great arrogance. That said, I asked for the complaints book and was denied. The employee went into the kitchen without a cap, and honestly I even suspected what I was doing. I asked for her name and she said she wouldn't give it to me because I was insulting her. I had to call security in order to exercise my right as a citizen This house I came never to return. (Original) Este local tem a funcionária muito pouco paciente estava com uma cara de poucos amigos e quando me dirigi á caixa disse-me que.... Passo a citar A senhora tem de se sentar e aguardar que o meu colega a atenda. Ao qual respondi que não sabia porque na restante rrestauração não é assim Fui atendida com muita arrogância. Posto isto pedi o livro de reclamações e foi-me negado. A funcionária meteu-se na cozinha sem touca, e sinceramente até desconfiei do que estaria a fazer. Pedi-lhe o nome disse-me que não me dava porque eu a estava a insultar. Tive de chamar a segurança para poder exercer o meu direito como cidadã Esta casa vim para nunca mais voltar.

    (Translated by Google) I don't give more stars because I ordered a dog as I always did for many years that I frequented this restaurant and the lady who was serving me instead of making me the menu which is much cheaper, made the order separately. I didn't speak at the time because I thought the prices had gone up, but then I realized they hadn't! I don't know why I want the customer to pay more, I didn't like it! And I'll think if I come back. (Original) Não dou mais estrelas porque eu pedi um cachorro como sempre fiz durante muitos anos que frequentei este restaurante e a senhora que estava a atender em vez de me fazer o menu que fica bem mais barato, fez o pedido a parte. Não falei na hora porque pensei que os preços tivessem aumentado, mas depois reparei que não! Não sei qual o motivo de querer que o cliente pague mais, não gostei! E vou pensar se volto.

    (Translated by Google) Terrible service. Order made by Uber... Most of the paid products didn't arrive... We tried to get in touch by phone, they didn't answer a single time and they even hung up. We went to the store, they were rude and rude, and we were left burning with loss of money since not even the products were given to the customer, after we complained. I do not recommend! (Original) Serviço péssimo. Pedido feito pela Uber... Não veio maioria dos produtos pagos... Tentou-se entrar em contacto, via telefónica, não atenderam uma única vez e ainda desligaram o telefone. Deslocamo-nos até à loja, foram rudes e mal educados, e nós ficamos a arder com perda de dinheiro uma vez que nem os produtos foram dados ao cliente, depois de nos queixamos. Não recomendo!

    (Translated by Google) What a disappointment! I just ordered a francesinha by glovo, the food arrived cold. The portion of potatoes (paid separately) was mediocre, cold and hard, the size of the portion is not even mentioned, not even for a child. The sauce was the same, cold and halfway through the francesinha. I don't recommend it to anyone, I wasted my money. (Original) Que decepção! Acabei de pedir uma francesinha pelo glovo, a comida chegou fria. A porção de batatas (pagas a parte) medíocre, frias e duras, o tamanho da porção nem se fala, nem pra uma criança dava. O molho a mesma coisa, frio e na metade da francesinha já tinha acabado. Não recomendo a ninguém, joguei meu dinheiro fora.

    Péssimo. Há muito tempo que não me lembro de comer tão mal. Bife duro, arroz sem sabor e não faltaram as batatas fritas congeladas. Para um prato próximo dos 10€ muito fraco mesmo.

    This isn't the first time I've had terrible service, but this time it was too much. My daughter can't have dinner at the family table, because her menu wasn't from the waterfall. That is inadmissible!!!!

  • 1/5 Pedro G. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Terrible, terrible quality at an exorbitant price. I rarely do reviews but this one couldn't go through. I no longer remember eating so badly and paying what I paid for lunch. I don't know how it's possible for them to continue to work. (Original) Terrível, qualidade terrível a um preço exorbitante. Raramente, faço avaliações mas esta não podia passar. Já não me lembrava de comer tão mal e pagar o que paguei num almoço. Não sei como é possível continuarem a funcionar.

    Desloquei-me ao estabelecimento para jantar e após me sentar com a minha esposa fui logo abordado por um funcionário a ordenar que trocasse de mesa para uma de dois lugares, quando estávamos à espera de um casal. De acrescentar que a sala estava com metade da lotação. Contudo no final ficamos a beneficiar pois saímos e optamos pelo restaurante ao lado, Sr.Frango da Guia, onde encontramos funcionários extremamente simpáticos!

  • 1/5 sara s. 1 year ago on Google
    Só não dou menos de uma estrela, porque não é possível. Das piores francesinhas que já comi na vida! Pedimos rissóis como entrada e para além de minúsculos, estavam frios e possivelmente seriam do dia anterior. Como prato principal pedimos francesinha. O molho era de frasco e tinha salsicha que nunca mais acabava. Quanto ás batatas, eram ressequidas e pareciam aquecidas no microondas. Para quem quer comer uma boa francesinha no Porto, não recomendo. A não repetir, de certeza.

    Pedi francesinha com batata fritas e quando pedi que não viessem já com molho disseram que não era possível. fraquíssima qualidade. não recomendo a ninguem.

    Não existe variedade no menu. Os preços praticados são caros tendo em conta a qualidade dos produtos. Os empregados são arrogantes e malcriados. Fechem mas é o restaurante porque qualidade e variedade não tem nenhuma. Não recomendo. E também não lamentaria os pedidos entregues via uber e glovo onde os produtos estão em falta mas são pagos e não devolvem dinheiro nem dão o produto pago. Isto só prova que a vossa dita "formação" a jovens falha redondamente. Dêem preferência a empregados de restauração mais velhos e com maior experiência. O pior restaurante que já vi. Em TUDO. É mesmo de lamentar. A ASAE deveria fechar este lugar na minha opinião.ZERO EXTRELAS PELA QUALIDADE ZERO DOS VOSSOS COLABORADORES E PRODUTOS APRESENTADOS NO MENU SEM QUALQUER VARIEDADE

    Yesterday, 29-05-2023, I went to the cascade restaurant at Gaia Shopping and I have to say that there were 4 of us and two of them ate steak and the other two had francesinhas. The sausage was completely sour, the cold francesinhas. Tough steaks with no flavor whatsoever. The service is terrible. I do not recommend this restaurant. And it's a shame there isn't control in these places.

    Let's say I just went to Cascade and I was waiting for 15 minutes without customers inside the establishment. After those 15 minutes, an employee comes and says that the food will take around 25 to 30 minutes, considering that I'm a logistician and I only have 1 hour for lunch. I will never go back there again if it continues like this

    My family and I have been Cascata customers at Gaia shopping for a good 20 years. Today, at 6:25 pm, I went to the restaurant with my mother to eat waffles. Before we even sat down, the girl told us that her colleague was having dinner and would therefore take a while. I asked if he wouldn't help us and the answer was "my colleague is having dinner"... There were 3 employees inside the restaurant, we thanked them and left, probably never to return. Maybe they don't need customers, but education has to fit everywhere and the "new" employees have a lot to do in this regard. After some bad experiences with this new team, this incident was the final straw...and we are very sorry.

    Bad food. My wife and I ordered the picanha dish, rice, fries, beans and pineapple. The beans were hard, the rice was unseasoned and the meat was not picanha. We were deceived in the flesh, it was clearly another flesh. Absurd because the picanha is unmistakable in appearance and flavor. I will never go back and would never recommend it.

👍👍 Delicious food, live music. Here you can see how the dish is prepared. The interior is decorated in red. €15 per set in the photo. The price is a little high for me, but I'm glad I visited this place. They give you a glass and a board. It wasn't crowded. I enjoyed this place!
