Officially founded in 1959, Café Santiago had opened doors before as a grazing house and tavern. Francesinha Santiago has always been the main reference of the establishment, having emerged as a result of the refining of typical Francesinha do Porto by members of the Pereira family. Its carefully selected ingredients, 100% artisanal cooking processes and the well-known special sauce whose recipe is a family secret, give Francesinha Santiago the highest reference status in national cuisine. Santiago F emerged in 2011 from the need to expand the business in light of the remarkable demand felt in the original space.

A French-Portuguese couple came to Porto, with the will to participate in the evolution, dynamism and culinary diversity of the city. They changed their lives and careers and opened Porto Express, to propose original flavours and promote the products of the north of Portugal, in a welcoming space, where everyone can get together and feel at ease, in conviviality and sharing food. It is a tapas bar, of drinks, of hamburgers, of homemade cakes and brunch, serving local and artisan products, with a modern and original touch, with vegan and vegetarian options. They also have artistic and cultural events (workshops, concerts, thematic dinners); they are pet-friendly; and they focus on the satisfaction of each client.

Café S. Lázaro stands out for being a familiar, pleasant and welcoming space with background music. It is a great place for a quick break, whether for a coffee, cream or snack, like a sandwich or one of its many delicious snacks. Every day offers several alternatives of daily dishes at reduced prices. There are always several choices of meat and fish dishes. In addition to the catering service, you can come to Café S. Lázaro to play “luck games” or use the Payshop service.

The name of the restaurant announces seven original Francesinhas (a sandwich from the city of Porto, consisting of sausage, fresh sausage, ham, cold meats and beef steak, covered with cheese later melted; it is garnished with a tomato, beer and piri-piri sauce and can be served with French fries as a side dish) for you to try. The idea was to try to create versions of the well-known delicacy of the city of Porto. So, you can try the Francesinha Tropical, with pineapple and red fruits, the tuna one, the loin one, the turkey one, the cod one and the house special one, with shrimp, besides the traditional one. They are all cooked in the wood oven, as well as the pizzas, Bolognese lasagne or veal chop, soaked in the Francesinha sauce. There is also a variety of traditional Portuguese dishes to choose from, as well as desserts and drinks for all tastes. There are several competitively priced menus, with drink, soup, bread, olives and coffee included.
