In Francesinhas — Restaurant in Viana do Castelo

Very close to the main avenue, but still quiet. They have both internal and external seating. Staff spoke very good English and were really polite and attentive on the day I visited. I went for the Francesinha in Picante, which is the spicy version. It was really tasty and the spicy sauce went really well with it. I was offered more sauce by one of the staff during my meal. Fries were freshly cooked and crispy, definitely not from frozen. The portion was a really good size, I almost struggled to finish it all, luckily I skipped breakfast that morning. They have desert options as well which I didn't try on this occasion. Their coffee is superb, and I have to say special thanks to the man looking after me as I have accidentally spilled all my coffee just right after I got it and he cleaned my mess up and gave me another coffee free or charge. I really enjoyed the meal and the treatment I got, if I visit the town again I will definitely return for...

We happened upon this wonderful spot after a few days in Viana, while searching for the francesinha dish. Very generous portions here. Highly recommend the white sangria as it was the best we had of any restaurant in the town, very refreshing. The staff (owner/operators?) were extremely friendly and welcoming to all of their guests. The great food, excellent sangria, and comfortable atmosphere kept us visiting throughout our stay....

I would recommend this restaurant to visitors if you want a nice outdoor atmosphere and a tasty meal for a decent price, especially the chicken salad was really great. if you are on the camino and not always eating well, it feels good to eat a salad with proteins. The fries were fresh and hot, too. The waiter who speaks English like an American was really cute and friendly and he helped me get the wifi password, as well....
