As we mentioned, it’s easy to eat low cost in Porto. The fame of its big wineries, its historical coffee shops or its cultural corners extends to a typical gastronomy of the city that can be found in many places in the tripeira city. Some of the inevitable dishes are:
· Francesinha: this is certainly the most famous dish in the city. It’s a delicious sandwich – not approved by WHO – stuffed with beef steak, ham, cheese, sausage or mortadella, grated and bathed in a sauce of vegetables and slightly spicy meat. That’s quite a thing. Some time it has a fried egg on the top, and if it’s not enough, you can also have some fries. You will find it in places throughout the city, but there are restaurants that have made it a speciality that transcends outside the city. We will see it below.
· Tripas à moda do Porto: it’s linked to the history of Porto and is a very typical dish of the city (known as tripeira).
