The name means bring another 5, they are known for their “Prego em Pão” steak sandwich. The rumour is that they import the steak from Brazil, so quality ingredients are key to their success among locals.
The sandwich is comprised of a thick slab of steak, which is coated in thick salt and grilled, leaving the middle slightly rare. It comes standard with a thick slice of “Queijo da Serra” mountain sheep cheese. You can ask not to have cheese and in turn the sandwich is actually cheaper, but this combination is divine, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.Due to the place´s popularity and traffic, sometimes they tend to be a bit slack with the steak, serving you a worst cut. The way I get round this is by telling them that if the steak is not thick enough I will send it back, “don’t tell me I didn’t warn you”. You also have the option of asking for it on a plate “Prego em Prato”. They also have good home-made desserts, they vary on a daily basis, but the speciality and my personal favourite is the chocolate cake, it is like nothing you have tried before. The slices are huge, share if you can; you can also spray them with whiskey, just ask.
Congratulations to “Venham Mais 5” for this sandwich, a classic example that if you use quality ingredients and innovate on a simple classic dish you can quickly gain fame and establish a good customer base, while at the same time establishing your business as the “Prego” King of Porto.
