Specialising in Algarvian-style chicken frango, cooked over charcoal, this effortless shabby chic restaurant (think brick walls, scraped paint job and glass-ceilinged roof), has a suitable inside-out vibe - and inspired by Lisbon's famous trams from the 1900s. Prop yourself up and knock back something typically Portuguese, whether it's a traditional Port and Tonic or Vinho Verde (‘green wine’) before tucking into wood-fired piri piri chicken - butterflied, and smothered with one of their three signature sauces (oregano, lemon & garlic, or piri piri) by Algarvian ‘pitmaster’, Lucidio da Fonseca Monteiro. There’s plenty for non-frango fans too, from beer-battered whitebait to chargrilled cauliflower and grilled chorizo.
Authentic Portuguese flavours, takes two to frango.
