Vegan francesinha

I tried their vegan version with vegan cheese and it was good, but no flavor extravaganza! Happy to have tried it though. Friendly staff too!

Veggie Francesinha

Portugiesisches Fleischsandwich in komplett veggie.
Alle Zutaten wurden mit Ersatzprodukten ersetzt, dadurch ist es wirklich sehr na am originalem Francesinha dran. Super lecker! Aber auch echt sehr viel!

Trotzdem: ein MUSS, wenn man in Porto ist!😄

Pros: Ersatzprodukte, Service, Nicht zu überlaufen

Francesinha vegetariana mediana

Não é ruim, mas também não é bom. Pra mim faltou tempero/sabor na francesinha vegetariana. Esperava um molho com mais gosto de cerveja, uma salsicha artesanal bem temperada e um tofu saboroso, mas tudo era muito suave beirando o sem sabor.

Além disso, o atendimento não foi dos melhores. Esperamos quase 30min para conseguir pedir a conta e pagá-la.

Pros: Preço, Ambiente

Cons: Atendimento, Sabor

Good vegan francesinha

Nice place and friendly staff. The vegan francesinha was really good, although the sauce was a little meh, more like a spicy broth. But the "meats" inside were incredible, super flavorful! And the melted cheese on top made everything even better. It's a big and super filling dish, so I wouldn't recommend ordering the fries together unless you have a big appetite.

Pros: Really tasty, Fair prices

Cons: Sauce was a little flavorless

Review Lado B

Francesinha vegan muito boa!! Ambiente geralmente com bastante azáfama. Excelente para entrar um pouco no espírito gastronómico portuense.

Francesinha vegetariana é aqui!

Quem é do Porto sabe que para comer francesinha vegetariana é no lado B. Um balanço perfeito de sabores, assim como o molho impecável.
O serviço é muito rápido e o espaço agradável.

A melhor

A melhor francesinha vegetariana (ou vegana se pedirem esta versão) que já provei!! Tentei muitas mas esta é de longe a melhor. Para quem comia carne e era amante de francesinha, esta é a melhor opção! O serviço é sempre 5 estrelas e o preço é o normal de uma francesinha.

Francesinha

Aunque aparezca como vegetariana la típica francesinha te la adaptan a versión vegana, muy rica, toda una experiencia, nada caro y da la opción de probar el sándwich tan típico de Oporto. Los trabajadores de lo más agradables!

Vegan Francesinha possible

They have vegan cheese, so you can ask for vegan Francesinha instead of Vegetarian. On the menu is only vegetarian so you have to ask. 3 stars because the food was okay and there are not much vegetarian or vegan options on the menu. But if you want to try Francesinha it is worth a visit because there was not other restaurants in center of porto at the time of january 2020 (i think, we did not find other Restaurants with vegan Francesinha option)

Vegan?

I have to agree with MissRadish, somehow the old reviews do not match what I have recently experienced in Lado B. They offer vegetarian Francesinha but I was not given the choice of vegan cheese, only with or without regular cheese. The "vegan pineapple burger" which was mentioned in a previous review does not seem to exist anymore, their pineapple burger includes ham and cheese. Although I'm happy to have found a vegetarian Francesinha I was not impressed. The filling was a mix of different kinds of tofu, veggie sausages and eggplant (I think) without much or any seasoning. It was confusing and in my opinion it didn't taste good.

Pros: Big portions

Cons: Lacks flavour

Don’t bother

I don’t know if they’ve changed their menu recently as others in the past seem to have been more successful here but there were no vegan options at all but two veggie ones. I asked a waiter if anything could be vegan and was told ‘no’.

Best vegan francesinha in town.

The vegan francesinha is delicious. The staff is competent and the delivery is fast. They're only missing a decent vegan dessert. Other then that, it's an awesome place.

Pros: Vegan Francesinha

Cons: No vegan desserts

Excellent veggie francesinha

Right in the center of the city, you can go here for a quick meal. They have salads, a vegan burger (made with grilled pineapple) and sandwiches. You can get the famous portuguese dish, francesinha, with both a vegetarian and vegan versions - you can switch the regular cheese for vegan cheese.

Pros: The spaceThe francesinhaThe fries

Cons: Service was a little slowVery few vegan options

I don't know if they have recently changed their menu, but there is no vegan burger. The pineapple burger has fiambre (ham) and cheese.

Went for Francesinha

We were told by several people to try the local dish so as this place is very popular for the dish and they offer a vegan version we thought we’d try. I don’t know what the dish is supposed to taste like so hard to judge but it looked exactly the same as the non vegans. Cheese was nice and melted, lots of sauce. Waiter was helpful and nice. It’s a very busy place with everyone pretty much ordering this dish. I wouldn’t likely eat it again but I definitely think it’s worth trying. The sausage is a little spicy so I would have preferred it without and would more likely eat it again without it. It’s very filling!

Pros: Vegan Francesinha, Helpful waiters , Free wifi

Cons: Vegan cheese is €2 extra
