About Casa Augusto
Casa Augusto is a neighbourhood fixture in Afurada that trades in authentic Portuguese comfort food and legendary ham sandwiches. The kitchen delivers reliable daily specials—tripas, prego no pão, sandes de presunto—at prices that feel like a throwback to an earlier Porto. The room itself is modest and familial, run by a warm local family who treat regulars and first-timers with equal care. Reviewers consistently highlight the speed of service, the genuine atmosphere (no tourist gloss), and the quality-to-price ratio that keeps both locals and visiting food-seekers returning. It's the kind of place where a quick drink becomes a meal, and where the simplicity is the point.
