Incredible Bifanas & House-Made Delights! If you’re in Porto, definitely check out A Bifana Portuguesa! The bifanas are absolutely amazing—super tender pork, full of flavour, and soaked in this garlicky, winey, slightly spicy sauce that’s just unreal. Served in a crusty roll, it’s simple but SO good!! What makes it even better is that they use their own olive oil from their farm (Lavandeira)! Own produce! So fresh, smooth, and packed with flavour. And the house wine? Also they produce it, and it comes directly from their farm, and it goes perfectly with the food. We have picked Elmo, it's like a white chardonnay, super fresh, young and fruity, and the owner told us all about Elmo, their house 💜 The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were lovely— the owner was marvelous and truly passionate about his business, what they do and how providing such an extraordinary experience means to him and his family. It’s affordable, local, and honestly one of the tastiest meals I had in Porto. Can’t wait to go back! Proper Bifana Spot –...

This place was absolutely stunning. We shared the charcuterie that came with olives and bread. The bread came warm and was a variety of different kinds. My friend hates olives and she loved the olives. They were very garlic forward. We were a party of 3 and 2 of us shared a bottle of the Lavandeira Elmo wine which was a Chardonnay. It was so good. Very light and smooth. Victor suggested us to get three bifanas and share so that is what we did. He gave us the red wine braised (the meat was like literal butter), the veal (super tender and flavorful), and the pork neck (my favorite. So juicy, so tender, and chunks of garlic in it). The bread is just outstanding. One friend also got the gizzard pot and loved them. Gizzards are repulsive to me. I’ve never tried them and never wanted to. I tried one here and I have to say it didn’t taste like I was eating an organ. It was incredibly tender. Highly recommend this place and I will recommend it to...
