Portugal's Most Iconic Sandwich Is Smothered In Cheese And Sauce | Legendary Eats

The Francesinha was invented in the 1950s at a Porto restaurant called A Regaleira, when a French customer asked for a croque monsieur. This indulgent sandwich now has many variations, but they all include a stack of ham, steak, sausage, and cheese, covered in a tangy tomato sauce. We visited Cafe Santiago, who makes Francesinhas beloved by locals and tourists alike, to see how the iconic sandwich is made.

    I am from Braga, a city next to Porto. We have a lot of places here that do the "francesinha" and the sauce is what i like to call, the soul of the francesinha because every different restaraunt/cafe has a different recipe. I like mine a little more spicier. this ones sauce looks too yellowish for me. But when you find the right place for you, there is no other food that will make you more happy than this one.

    Speaking as a local, Santiago is definetly NOT the locals' favorite to eat a francesinha. If you ask most people in the city they will name a lot of different places, and Santiago is hardly ever mentioned. That restaurant has become mostly directed to serving tourists, but any person who has only ever eaten a francesinha from Santiago hasn't really tasted a true francesinha. a little side note: they mention that they took out the spiciness of the sauce which is basically killing the dish; a good francesinha has to have a little bit of spice in it, otherwise might as well be simply called a wet sandwich

    Make it yourself. Instead of the bread use "cloud bread". And skip the fries. You won't get fat.

    Não é uma sandwich e a versão que é confeccionada em Braga - infelizmente conheço várias (taberna inglesa, belga, taberna real, etc) - é uma imitação azeiteira da verdadeira francesinha do Porto. Se os bracarenses algum dia experimentassem uma francesinha do Bufete Fase certamente iriam ter uma surpresa.
