The name given to this place means dirty/slutty woman; seems like a deterrent for clients, but it is a detail that made this place infamous. It is far from dirty but when you see your sandwich being made it is the closest thing to food porn, turning you into a local food pervert. Rumours about the name´s true origin say that in 1965, when it had different owners, the sandwiches were served on newspaper and the floor was covered in codfish skin and bones.
Unquestionably one of the best “presunto” cured ham in Porto, this place is famous for its love for ham; you can buy “Presunto” slicedit for €20,00/Kg. They also have other snacks, this healthy cholesterol includes, “Rojões” pork chunks in a stew sauce, “Iscas” cod fish cakes, “Fígado” liver with onion, “Carne Assada” pork loin, “Papas” blood soup and “Morcela” blood sausage. To drink, the speciality is “Espadal”, a sparkling rosé. A detail worth noting is about the bread, it is always fresh, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, supplied by the bakery close by; a perfect combination with the specialties served.
The sharp tongue, witty comebacks and dedication of “Dona Lurdes”, one of the proprietors and main cook gives this place a traditional charm. This authentically traditional snack bar is a good pit stop before going for a stroll on the beaches close by and even “Parque da Cidade”, Porto´s biggest park.
