Porto's pernil
Casa Guedes was born in the centre of Porto and its star is the pernil, the sliced roast pork served in a bread roll. The most requested version also has melted Serra da Estrela cheese. The original house, the Tradicional, is on Praça dos Poveiros, five minutes' walk from São Bento station along Rua de Santa Catarina or Passos Manuel.
When to go
It opens every day: Sunday to Thursday from 11:00 to 23:00, and Friday and Saturday until 23:30. It is one of the few fast, local meals you can count on on a Sunday in the centre. You cannot book: it serves people in order of arrival, so at peak times there is a queue.
The other houses
On the same square, at number 76, is the Casa Guedes Rooftop, with a terrace; there are others on Rua das Oliveiras, in Progresso and one on the Gaia bank, at Avenida de Diogo Leite 56, beside the cellars, which opens at 10:00 on Sunday.
What to order: the pernil sandwich with Serra da Estrela cheese, standing up or on the square.
