Best Francesinhas in Porto


Francesinha means “little French woman” or simply “Frenchie” in Portuguese. this dish was created by Portuguese emigrants to France. They encountered the french snack, the croque monsieur, and decided to take it to a whole new level, making it bigger, better, and generally more delicious! Et voilà: this is how Francesinha was born!
