Mare Baixa Cafe - Vila Nova de Gaia

Wow.. Delicious Francesinha for a good price, and very charming hosts. A real asset to the Ribiera. Thank you so much! Dan

Great location across from the river. The service was quick . The cheeseburger was decent that my husband got . I however was very disappointed in my Francesinha. They gravy type stuff on it was so thin and flavorless. So don’t let this place be where you try your first one or you will be disappointed.

Had a stroll along the river and called at this cafe for a snack. It is a limited menu but we had the steak, egg and chips and I must say that for the money the food was not bad. We had the meal, a soft drink and a coffee all for 7.5 euros. It is not a big cafe but the inside has a great tiled staircase. I would have no hesitation is recommending this for simple fare at a great price.

Cracking wee place to have something to eat at a reasonable price without leaving feeling that you’ve been robbed. We had the steak sandwiches with fries, they were lovely! It is a busy little place and you might have to wait up to 30 mins or so for the food to be servers, it is worth the wait. We went and ordered inside to save a little time. The food was good for a lunch, enjoyed throughly by both my wife and I.

Called in here for some lunch after our river cruise. Was a busy little place with 2 staff members working who were zooming about. We ordered steak sandwiches and they were lovely and a great price too €7 which included a drink also! Bargain. Staff were very friendly also.
