This end of March, as Newark welcomes visitors for one of the biggest weekends in college basketball, SolMar Restaurant invites you to experience a different kind of excitement—through food!
Introducing the Francesinha Flavor Fest, a celebration of Portugal’s most iconic and indulgent sandwich. Originating from Porto, the Francesinha is a bold, savory creation layered with cured meats, melted cheese, and smothered in a rich, beer-infused tomato sauce. At SolMar, it’s served the traditional way: sizzling hot in a handcrafted Portuguese clay pot, honoring both flavor and cultural heritage.
Whether you’re a basketball fan in town for the games or a local foodie looking for something new, this dish is not to be missed. It’s hearty, comforting, and uniquely Portuguese—a perfect pre- or post-game experience just minutes from the Prudential Center.
