Casa Guedes, Portuguese sandwich restaurant in Praça dos Poveiros, Porto.
Casa Guedes is a sandwich shop at Praça dos Poveiros that specializes in roasted pork. The small establishment features indoor seating and an outdoor area facing the plaza where customers can watch the foot traffic.
The Correia family took over this location in 1987 and transformed a modest snack bar into a recognized destination for traditional Portuguese sandwiches. The place became established in the neighborhood through consistent service over many years.
The place serves as a gathering spot where locals experience a tradition of roasted pork sandwiches that has shaped eating habits in the neighborhood for decades. People come here to eat the way their families have eaten in Porto for generations.
The shop operates Monday through Saturday on a first-come-first-served basis with no table reservations possible. Visiting during off-peak hours helps you avoid waiting in line during busy times.
The signature sandwich pairs tender roasted pork with a regional cheese from the Serra mountains and fresh Portuguese bread in a way that highlights local ingredients. This particular combination creates something that tastes different from most other sandwich shops.
