Very often, on our delicious Food Tours, we tell our guests that they cannot leave Porto without trying Bifanas<\/a>. And almost always they reply \u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d Hence, we have decided to share with you everything that a bifana is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in any other cuisine…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We too like to snack, and so various dishes were created to fulfill this important part of one\u2019s life. In Portugal, especially in the Porto region, there are many sandwiches designed for a quick meal, sometimes paired with just a bowl of soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you discover the Best Sandwiches in Porto, you’ll learn that one of the main sandwiches in the country is the Bifana<\/a> – enjoyed from north to south. Simply put, it\u2019s a steak sandwich. A pork steak, to be more specific, seasoned with garlic and spices, then put inside a bread roll. Sounds straightforward, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, each one you try will taste different and that’s the beauty of it! How is it possible that a piece of steak can fit so perfectly in a bread roll and present you with a mix of flavors that will make your taste buds spin?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
