Melhor francesinha

Excelente francesinha vegan. Mesmo muito saborosa. O molho é delicioso, com a quantidade ideal de picante.
Serviço muito simpático.
Esplanada muito agradável nas traseiras.
A 20 minutos a pé da Av dos aliados.

Pros: Várias opções vegan, Ótimo serviço , Bom preço/qualidade

Amazing Selection

We went here 3 times while we stayed in Porto. The francesinha and pica pau are amazing and we also tried the cachorro, tosta mista, and the prego em pão which were all great as well. The service was fab and it’s so nice to finally find somewhere with vegan tradicional portuguese food!

Pros: Lots of great tasting options, Well priced, Good, fast service

Cons: A little out of the centre but not too far

Worth the trip

My boyfriend and I came here to try the vegan Francesinha (and also be able to get the regular one for him). It wasn’t something I would want to eat again, but that’s not due to the restaurant! It’s just very salty and heavy, about what you’d expect knowing what’s in it.
Service was great and desert good too!

Pros: Lots of options, Great service

Many vegan options

A carta é muito variada, com os tradicionais pratos de snack bar portugueses na versão vegan. Tem um menu vegan separado, bem identificado. Há três entradas vegan, vários pratos e algumas sobremesas, incluindo bolo de bolacha (igualzinho ao tradicional) e gelado. A francesinha é parecida com a tradicional, com seitan e enchidos veganos. O molho é bem picante! Provei também o paté como entrada e é delicioso.

Pros: Muitas opções vegan, Sobremesas vegan tradicionais e saborosas, Simpatia dos funcionários

Fully separate vegan menu

Tasty traditional Porto meals but veganised. Very tasty. There is a proper separate vegan menu so no need to look around for options.

Pros: Vegan menu, Tasty, Traditional meals

Vegan Francesinha

Considering this was my first Francesinha, and vegan at that, this is the benchmark I will measure all vegan Francesinhas against. It was very tasty as I had to confirm it was vegan because of the textures. If I ever return to Oporto (I'm hoping so) I'll return here if I'm ever in the mood for a Francesinha. I'm glad I got there shortly after they opened at 1900. It's very popular with the locals and for delivery. Don't forget your euro, they don't take credit cards.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Euro only, no credit cards

Great francesinha

I eat at Casanova each time I pass through Porto. Their francesinha is great, including the sauce and fries. And the best part is the dessert with an amazing "bolo de bolacha" a cake made with maria cookies and cream. Highly recommend!

Pros: Multiple vegan options, Veganizes some tradicional recipes

Best vegan francesinha, hands down

The vegan Francesinha here is soooo good, my favourite by far. I always come here when I crave one. Plus, they offer a vegan menu, with desserts too! And they're very friendly. I'd rate 5 if I could😄

Best vegan Francesinha in town!

Casanova was recommended to us by a local vegan we met and she was right. Best vegan francesinha in Porto! Seems to be more of a local place run by a family. Make sure you have room in your stomach, food is a lot and to amazing to leave something behind. We will definitely come back once we are in Porto again!

Affordable spot to try vegan francesinhas

If we hadn't been told to go here I would not have guessed it would be so vegan friendly. Casanova is a little local cafe with a whole separate vegan menu (it's written vegetarian but the waiter told us the list was all vegan). A friend and I shared a francesinhas with fries and enjoyed the experience. The sauce was really nice, it was cool to get to try this traditional dish veganized. Not something I would eat everyday as it's really heavy but if you want to try this Porto classic I'd highly recommend this cafe. We tried in another restaurant as well and this one was by far better.

Boas opções vegan

Visitamos o Casanova pela primeira vez e, felizmente, pudemos usufruir do pequeno pátio exterior que é muito agradável.
Pedimos uma francesinha e um cachorro e estavam ambos bons. Os ingredientes eram simples e o molho muito cremoso e picante, como gostamos. Para terminar pedimos uma sobremesa da casa que consiste em camadas de natas, leite condensado e bolacha, tudo vegetal claro, uma sobremesa muito pouco elaborada mas bastante saborosa. Também levámos uma fatia de bolo de bolacha e ficámos rendidos porque foi simplesmente o melhor de sempre, as proporções de café e creme de 'manteiga' estavam simplesmente perfeitas!

Pros: Várias opções vegan disponíveis

Um dos meus sítios preferidos no Porto para jantar

Restaurante com imensas opções veganas, quer para prato principal quer para sobremesa, preços acessíveis e empregados muito simpáticos. Deve marcar-se mesa antes de ir porque é pequeno e está normalmente cheio. A comida é muito boa; a primeira vez que fui fiquei chocada com o quão parecida era a francesinha vegan com a de carne. Recomendo!

Pros: Muitas opções veganas, barato, esplanada, staff

Cons: O interior pode ser bastante barulhento
