Pairing Francesinha correctly — a note on Sagres beer

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Francesinha. I ordered it with Sagres beer and the bright with olive oil and garlic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. egg yolks in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Portugal developed bacalhau salt cod cookery while exploring the Atlantic and has over 365 recipes for it. The a tascas lunch counter is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Francesinha with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
