Capa Negra II has a history of over forty years and is known as one of most bustling restaurants in the Oporto area. The reason for that is one of the Oporto's typical dish called Francesinha, and the way this restaurants perfectly honors it.

Placed at Campo Alegre, Capa Negra II is on the top 10 best national restaurants, all due to the Francesinha. Though for those who don't know it, the doubt persists: What is Francesinha? This emblematic dish from the Invicta city is a mix of roasted meat and sausages with other meat, all between two slices of toasted loaf bread with cheese on top. The perfect combination goes along with french fries to help savor Francesinha's sauce.

Capa Negra II has a very prolonged serving period during the week, opening at 12 am and closing at 1:45 pm. The prices range 10€ to 30€, depending on the meal and the clients can always use the take-away service.

If you would like to try this typical northern dish, we recommend that you visit Capa Negra II. Forty years of history and constant buslting cannot be wrong. Our best advice is that you arrive early so that you guarantee you won't have to wait too long.
