  • The Francesinha was invented in the 1950s at a Porto restaurant called A Regaleira, when a French customer asked for a croque monsieur. This indulgent sandwich now has many variations, but they all include a stack of ham, steak, sausage, and cheese, covered in a tangy tomato sauce. We visited Cafe Santiago, who makes Francesinhas beloved by locals and tourists alike, to see how the iconic sandwich is made.

    I am from Braga, a city next to Porto. We have a lot of places here that do the "francesinha" and the sauce is what i like to call, the soul of the francesinha because every different restaraunt/cafe has a different recipe.

    Speaking as a local, Santiago is definetly NOT the locals' favorite to eat a francesinha. If you ask most people in the city they will name a lot of different places, and Santiago is hardly ever mentioned. That restaurant has become mostly directed to serving tourists, but any person who has only ever eaten a francesinha from Santiago hasn't really tasted a true francesinha.
    a little side note: they mention that they took out the spiciness of the sauce which is basically killing the dish; a good francesinha has to have a little bit of spice in it, otherwise might as well be simply called a wet sandwich

    I thoroughly enjoyed trying one of these on holiday in Faro. If you are ok with assaulting your liver and cardiac health it's the king of sandwiches

      Make it yourself.
      Instead of the bread use "cloud bread".
      And skip the fries.
      You won't get fat.
