bsolutely spotless. Friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices. Didn't have to wait too long for food either. Quite a few local people so you know it is good.

Achei um espaço agradável limpo mas pequeno Como uma francesinha um pouco pequena para a minha fome mas pode ser suficiente para quem come menos do que eu achei o molho muito doce mas de resto estava tudo bom

Para mim a melhor francesinha de Penafiel. Molho “forte” e saboroso exatamente como o molho de uma francesinha tem de ser. O atendimento é 5 estrelas.. simpatia e eficiência.

O molho não é mau, é diferente do que habitualmente comemos em casas típicas como o Santiago. É em menor quantidade, mais espesso, mas muito saboroso. Não é a minha favorita mas merece uma oportunidade.

O Egas & Francesinhas é um espaço moderno, muito agradável, calmo e muito acolhedor. Tem uma excelente carta de Snacks e uma grande variedade de Cervejas. O Prego em Pão e a Francesinha Especial, são os ex-líbris da casa. Excelente confeção, qualidade dos ingredientes e sabor. Provavelmente a melhor Francesinha de Penafiel. Bom atendimento, sempre com grande disponibilidade e muita Simpatia. Recomendo vivamente
