Sandes de pernil · Porto
Slow-roasted pork leg in a bread roll, with ham, sheep's cheese or caramelised onion in port wine: the sandwich Casa Guedes serves on Praça dos Poveiros.
In 1987 the Correia brothers bought the Snack Bar Guedes on Praça dos Poveiros, whose menu then ran to cheap meals, roast pork leg, hot dogs and francesinhas. The pernil grew popular with Porto diners, though the 2001 works on the square hurt trade. In 2006 the owner Sr. César began supplying the sandwiches to the club Maus Hábitos on weekend nights, a Time Out article in 2008 or 2009 brought wider attention, and a new space opened on the same square in 2019.
