The Best Oporto Francesinhas
It was in 2011 that has born one of the most modern and nice taverns in the northern area of Portugal.
It’s called Trásca and was originated in an old tavern by the desire of two friends, Luis Violas and Paulo Villas-Boas.
With an incredibly nice and welcoming environment, further enriched by the background music, this modern tavern offers, beyond space conducive to socializing, food and drinks worthy of reference.
On the menu we can find: little burgers, little steaks, tortilla, sausage, gold camembert, padron peppers, sandwiches and varied toast, between so many other things.
With it, all good options: sangria, wine and international beers.
Prices for dishes range from € 1.20 to € 6.
This is a place that deserves your visit.

This looks like a little neighborhood snack bar, but it is much more. I had the roasted pork and cheese sandwich. The bread was fresh, and the pork and cheese were very tasty.

Drinks & Nightlife
Social and nightlife revolve around three streets in central Porto : Galeria de Paris, Cândido dos Reis and Conde de Vizela. You are bound to find a bar to your liking.
The atmosphere and the crowds don’t wake up until 11 at night though, and the main ambiance is in the streets, not in the bars.
