Bó tá quente — Restaurant in Porto

If you’re looking for authentic Portuguese flavor in the heart of Porto, Bo Ta Quente is the place to be. Their Bifana sandwich is absolutely outstanding.

Let’s start with the bread – super fresh, slightly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. It soaks up the sauce just enough without falling apart. Perfect texture.

The meat is the real star – tender, juicy, and fresh, thinly sliced pork marinated in a rich blend of spices. It practically melts in your mouth, with just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the flavor without overpowering it.

Altogether, this is a simple but brilliant combination – everything works in harmony. You can tell it’s made with care and experience.

Verdict: The Bifana at Bo Ta Quente is a must-try in Porto. Delicious, fresh, and satisfying – ideal for a quick lunch or a late-night bite with a glass...

This was the best and most traditional bifana we have had. Went t to another 5 star spot and we felt that this was actually better.

The pork was sliced instead of shredded and so tender and flavorful. No cheese! The bread was so fresh and delicious. Perfect textures. I fight to ask for mustard and peri peri because it was so good! Some of the best calo verdé too.

Our server, Simran, was very sweet and helpful. Her English was very good too! We are grateful because our Portuguese, we are still working on 😅

We sat outside and got a great street view. The bifana was originally a street food so this was perfect.
