About Tasquinha do Tio Júlio
The best prego in Guimarães is a claim locals make about Tio Júlio without hesitation, and the meat lives up to it — tender, tucked into bread, the kind of thing people cross the city for. This is a proper Portuguese tavern, unhurried and unpretentious, where the francesinha and caldo verde round out a short menu that does exactly what it needs to. The staff are attentive in the way that only comes from a place that knows its regulars, and the welcome is warm even when the table is full. No English spoken, which tells you something about who this place is actually for.
