Restaurante Capa Negra I

Capa Negra I says it has kept its Rua de Barros Lima address since 1968. Francesinha gives the place its character: bread, ham, linguiça sausage and steak beneath melted cheese and a sauce made in house. Sitting down in this Bonfim dining room introduces you to a dish strongly associated with Porto at a restaurant that has made it a specialty for decades.

The menu offers the classic version, a Capa Negra variation with bacon and one topped with a fried egg. There are also hot dogs, steak sandwiches and grilled meats; meat, seafood or suckling-pig rissóis make appetizers to share. Not everyone at the table has to order francesinha, even if that is the main reason to visit. The restaurant describes a room suited to both a long lunch and a mid-afternoon pause.

Google Maps shows customer-reported spending of EUR 15–20 per person; the official website does not list individual prices on its menu. The restaurant is at number 487 on Barros Lima, a useful address for combining francesinha with a walk through this part of Bonfim. The house offers a landline and a WhatsApp reservation channel.
