I saw a lot of people recommending this popular brunch shop in the guide. When I arrived at around 11 o'clock, there was already a queue. There are seats inside and outside. Generally, they accept sharing tables to be faster. I waited for about 20 minutes and was arranged in the store. I ordered the signature Egg Zenith. Although the presentation was a bit rough, the portion was very large and filled the whole plate. It was really good. The fried egg was crispy on the outside and felt very thick. The egg yolk inside was still half-cooked and tasted just right. The big slices of cured ham were a little hard, but they tasted good with a little salty and fragrant taste, which was just right for vegetables and eggs. The daily juice was also very delicious, with a mixture of various fruits, sour and sweet, delicious and healthy. Recommended!

Unexpectedly, my understanding of Porto started with such a Francesinha. It was already late when we arrived in Porto. When we arranged everything with the landlord and asked about the delicious restaurants nearby, the landlord strongly recommended trying Francesinha, and it would be best to go to CAFE SANTIAGO. It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant was full. We waited for more than ten minutes before we got a seat. I took the time to read the introduction at the door. It really has won numerous awards. It has been the No. 1 in Porto for many years. I think the affirmation of so many diners over the years is definitely not groundless. Francesinha is a special sandwich from Porto. It uses local pickled sausages, bread, ham, and beef. A layer of heated cheese is covered on the surface of the meat, served with tomato slices, poured with special beer sauce, and a circle of French fries around it. This kind of fast food has been selected as one of the ten most delicious sandwiches in the world, and is also considered to be one of the ten best flavors in Europe, and even became the representative of Porto cuisine, which just proves a truth that simple food can be very complicated. SANTIAGO can become the recognized number one, and naturally there is a secret of hard work. First of all, because a lot of meat is used, the selection of ingredients is very particular, and the real ingredients are real. You can tell at a try that the steak is fat-free and has a different taste when stacked with salami and sausage in an orderly manner. The bread is cut very appropriately, and its structure is very important for the overall stability. The thickness of the cheese layer wrapped in the bread is precisely calculated to ensure that it can maintain its shape when served at room temperature, but it can also melt quickly under the heat transfer of the lower round ham after being baked. You can choose to have the egg on the top or not, it's only 0.25 euros, and I personally think it's a must. Imagine the fresh, uncured egg, as the cheese melts, gradually blending with the bread below, mixed with the tempting aroma of cheese, and when you cut it open, you'll be greeted by a rich sense of visual, olfactory and taste... By the way, you can also see a spectacular beverage menu at SANTIAGO, with many uncommon beverages. For example, I finally ordered my favorite cola beer, so much so that I could only savor it later in the trip.

Thank you for a wonderful dinner with my uncle that I haven't seen in over 10 years. Everything was great, but the service could show some improvement if some of the staff could be more friendly with more smiles and courtesy. We had a great time overall.
Authentic food in a lovely restaurant. Service was great. Lots of table side service for the meals. Seafood Catapalana was amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant.

The environment is not bad, you can find Porto's specialties
🥇Abadia do Porto 【Must-order dishes】 🐮 Beef tripe rice The ingredients are overflowing! The soft and rotten beef tripe has no fishy smell at all With the luxurious combination of pig's trotters + sausage + smoked ham + baked beans The soup is so rich that you want to lick the plate. The taste of returning home in a second😭 🌰 Pork neck stewed with chestnuts The biggest dark horse of this issue!! The pork is so tender that it melts in your mouth With the milky aroma of butter, the chestnuts and potatoes are full of gravy A must-order for every table. The seasonal vegetables are also super fresh~ 🦑 Grilled squid Full score for freshness💯 The heat is just right The outer layer is slightly charred, the inside is tender and tender, and the sea salt is sprinkled on it. It's amazing We ordered another portion immediately after eating it!! Hidden benefits: main dishes come with side dishes/rice, and the portions are very generous 📍Tips: • You have to queue up at mealtime, so it is recommended to avoid peak hours • The waiter will enthusiastically recommend the special dishes of the day I never thought that I could eat such Chinese food in Porto! The beef tripe rice is fragrant and healing, the grilled squid is so fresh that it makes your eyebrows fall off, and the average price per person is 20 euros. I have been eating until I leaned against the wall... It has been included in my top 3 European food! " #Local food #Eat a seafood feast #Food Festival #My late night canteen #Porto

Generous, fresh, delicious seafood. Beautifully presented with great service. Did not expect t.v displaying football at high quality restaurant, but understand local passion for sport. Did not retract from our wedding anniversary experience.
This place is clearly an institution in Porto. Just outside the center of town in a nice modern space. The seafood is top notch. We had the platter for two that was delicious

The food is delicious, the environment is nice, and the service is friendly.
This delicacy is quite special. A pair of meat legs is enough to satisfy the foodie's desire. It's amazing.
