The bifana here is the Porto version: thin pork shank braised in a spicy red sauce, not grilled, stuffed into a crusty roll with enough sauce to guarantee sticky fingers. This old-school snack bar across from Campanhã station has been doing it longer than most regulars can remember, and a cold draft beer is the assumed companion. Caldo verde and papas de sarrabulho keep things honest for anyone who wanders past a sandwich.
