Food and going out · Note
Francesinha is easier as a late lunch than a late dinner
Portion size, queues and the nap afterwards — a practical note for first-timers in Porto.

A francesinha is a full meal wearing a sandwich costume. First-timers who book it at 21:30 often regret the timing more than the sauce.
Go late lunch, share fries if you can, and leave space for a walk. Classic rooms still queue; walk-ins wait.
