Officially founded in 1959, Café Santiago will have opened its doors long before, in the 1930s, as a pasture and tavern house. In 1978, Mr. Fernando Pereira and D. Isabel Ferreira, current owners, began their connection to Café Santiago by exploring the tobacco shop that existed there. Francesinha Santiago has always been the main reference, having emerged as a result of the development and improvement of the typical Francesinha do Porto. Carefully selected ingredients, unique 100% handcrafted cooking processes and the well-known special sauce, whose recipe is a closely guarded family secret, give Francesinha Santiago the reference status in Porto.
