October 12, 2023. Thursday. Dinner. Our first night in Porto and we decided to visit this joint. It was directly across from our hotel and seemed to be packed with locals. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated and every table looked to be full. Even the dining counters were full. This place reminded me of an American diner. Every waiter bustled to and fro and I think all of them were guys. Our waiter recommended a red wine blend (17 euros) called Quinta Crasto which turned out to be exceptionally delicious. The only problem was that the wine did NOT pair well with the heavy food. I ate a caldo verde (5 euros) a hearty, thick Portuguese soup with kale, chorizo, and potatoes. The soup tasted good, though I wished they included more chorizo. My wife ordered with the traditional Francesinha with egg and fries (14 euros). It looked like most people in the restaurant were ordering this. Her dish had lots of fries and was piled high. They are very generous with the food here and she left a few fries on her plate. I couldn't help her because I barely finished my bacalhau braga (23 euros). My dish came with fried cod buried in brown gravy, carrots and cauliflower, and lots of potato chips on the side. Basically a Portuguese take on fish and chips. The cod tasted light and amazing but the very filling, heavy food and wine didn't go well. I think a light, carbonated drink would go well with this food. Service was fast, food piled high and very generous, and the other diners were very comforting to see. Prices were low, so we visited here once more before leaving Porto.

This Portuguese restaurant is probably the best one in the town. They have really great service and friendly staff, however, none of them speak English. So, try to practice your Portuguese or use a translator if you can't speak the local Language. The food was worth the price!!!!! Try their Franceshinha and the desert! 💕☺️ we had two dinner meals with a big portion (but it was normal for them), two fancy beers and one jar of Sangria cost us 44 euros. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately :( This restaurant has so many customers, please avoid coming in the peak hours or you should wait to be seated. I love the atmosphere in the restaurants. They also have a bar 🍻 Hope you enjoy the restaurant as much as I did 😊

Freaking dope francesinha. I was intimidated by this place at first because at 3pm on a Monday it was packed with people waiting in the lobby for a table. We waited a few minutes for someone to come back to put our name in, but the guy running the names and seating people is organized. Once we put our name in it was only another five or ten minutes before got a table because the place is big and the service is fast. We got 2 francesinhas with batatas and some of the beers they brew themselves. The beers were pretty good too. But the standout was obviously the francesinhas which everybody was ordering. Toasted bread, tasty meats, good sauce. Loved it. Bread, butter, and cheese are complimentary.

I went back to Capa Negra II during this 2nd visit to Porto and still found it amazing. Their "francesinhas" are absolutely delicious, my family's chicken salad and beef was also very tasty. Dessert was yummy too. We had a great visit. The only thing that we did not appreciate was that even though we had a late lunch and they wanted to close, mind you we were not the only ones in the restaurant, someone went and turned off the TV's near us and would stand behind looking at us all as though to hurry us off. I fully understand the hours but if you have paying clients that are almost done it wouldn't hurt to wait a bit. It's called Respect. Overall service and food was great.. will go back.

This is very popular and busy restaurant so be prepared to wait as there is often a long queue. The food is of high quality and the portions are very large, so much so that a single serving is enough for two people. The waiters are very helpful and will advise on the size of dishes. We Started with Prawns served with salad and mayonnaise which was delicious (see photo). We followed with grilled Grouper served with rice and vedge. This was also delicious. All this was accompanied by a bottle of local red wine and followed by coffes and brandy. The staff are friendly and efficient. The prices are very reasonable and represent great value.

We ordered two francesihna and asked for the Bavarian weis beer. We were told that it's sold out and so we were offered the super Bock. We have received the food without napkins which is hardly working out with this kind of food. Later on, we saw people inside drinking dark beer so we asked for it but the waiter told us again that all this beer is sold out "solo super Bock". So we asked him what the people inside the restaurant were drinking and all of a Siddon we have received it as well. So the food and the location is just fine and famous - people were waiting for free tables outside - but the waiter was just awful.
