Brasão Coliseu in Porto

May 30 2022

We were recommended this place from our airbnb host and from a friend, so we HAD TO CHECK IT OUT.


Bread Portion, smoked ham butter, spicy rice chips, olives and capers

Spiced sausage meat with cheese rissole and meat, mushroom and truffle rissole

Inside of the croquettes

Francesinha in the oven with eggs

what is inside the Francesinha, sausage, ham and even more meat

ananas for dessert


we came for the francesinha, it is what you need to eat in Porto and we were told that this place has one of the better versions of it. it is a Portuguese sandwich originating from Porto, with Layers of meat like ham, sausage, or steak all covered with melted cheese and a spiced tomato and beer sauce. it was good but it was also very rich, all that meat with cheese and thick sauce. i wouldn’t eat that everyday but good to try and share. besides the francesinha we also tried some rissoles and the bread platter. the food was delicious, the service was good, can’t ask for a better way to start of trip in porto.
