Review scoring: 3 as expected based on price, quality and reputation, ie as expected. 4 better than expected and 2 lower quality than expected. 5 absolutely outstanding in all respects against expectations; food quality and presentation, staff, decor and atmosphere. I tried the Portuguese speciality along with a beer. Despite being a little visually “challenging”, a sandwich covered in gravel, it was excellent! Steak, sausage and ham with a cheese topping, topped by an egg…. Who would have thought? Apparent it emanates from the napoleonic soldiers meal on the march….. put as much protein as possible between a carb carrier and smother that in sauce, presumably to soften stale bread……. Either way, whatever the original, Lado B is the place. Really good and found through a recommendation. Easy to eat, filling very tasty and…. A pile of protein wrapped in carbs and covered in gravy. 🤣

Our first taste of Porto. Went for dinner on a recommendation from a friend. The place was bustling and had a great atmosphere. It is decorated in a retro music themed style. The staff were friendly and gave great service. Food was delivered to the table promptly, impressive as the place was so busy. There was plenty to choose from on the menu, but nearly everyone was eating Francesinha. Many people seem to say this is the best Francesinha in Porto, and it is good, but others I tasted elsewhere were better, I felt. The other meals we had, including chicken, were also good but lacking a bit of flavour. The chocolate cake was more of a mouse than a solid cake, but it was OK. Overall, it was a good place to visit, reasonably priced with a great atmosphere, but for me, the food was just not quite as good as some of the other cafes I tried.

Tried Francesinha first time. There's some choice to adjust the amount(half size, w/wo chips). The taste was very nice, I imagined more like junk food taste, but actually not fully.I could finish full size without getting tired. Spicy sause and herb flavor(I guess from sausage..) helped that. Remarkably there's many craft beer choice(not very common in Porto), IPA(letra f) was very nice. Only one thing to be improved, no explanation for those beer in the menu(even the type!), it's very difficult to choose. I googled "letra""craft beer" and checked in brewery's site. It will help a lot if there's some explanation(at least the type! IPA, Belgian white, Red beer..,)

We had to wait about 10 minutes to get in, it was busy but there were also 2 big tables that just needed to be cleared, I think they were just understaffed. We went for the francesinah on a recommendation from a tour guide, I got the normal one and my girlfriend got the vegetarian version. Both were really good, although it was my first and only one, it was delicious. There were a decent amount of locals as well as tourists. We did have to wait about 10 minutes for our bill and seemed to be ignored by our waitress until a manager finally saw us waiting and sent over the waiter. Besides the service just being okay the food was good

Had an amazing dinner here. Definitely try the “melhor francesinha do mundo” - best francesinha in the world. The sauce tastes great and the size of the francesinha is just right. We had the passion fruit lemonade and fresh orange juice, both were fantastic! As desert, we order the chocolate mousse to share which was absolutely fantastic!! Definitely homemade one, and it was enough for the two of us to share. The decoration is really nice and the staff was extremely nice and the service was very good, and considering how busy the place was that night, that really is something! Definitely recommend!

Best? Who can say? Anyone who claims to have extensively reviewed francesinha in Porto is either lying or dead. As far as a gut busting meal goes, Lado B’s take on a francesinha with fries will leave you curled up in a ball - there’s 5 meats here, remember - plus a slathering of cheese. And a piri-piri/ ketchup sauce that leaves you a little sweaty (on top of the meat sweats you’re gonna encounter too) - for under 12 € with a beer you can’t go far wrong here - and the egg is optional on top - and free too if you choose to hasten your proximity to artery clogging death
