First time trying Francesinha — completely converted

I had never tried Francesinha before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The sweet and eggy in pastries taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. egg yolks is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a tascas lunch counter setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. My server recommended Port wine alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Francesinha. Outstanding first encounter.
