A CHURRASQUEIRA

BEST FOR Dependable Portuguese cooking with a serious kick if you like it spicy. FOOD Portuguese stalwarts abound: think chicken livers, rissoles, flaming chorizo and a saucy prego trinchado for starters. For mains, choose a generously portioned dish from the house specialities. The crab curry is a messy yet popular choice. Try Lisbon’s traditional prawns, fried in a beer sauce, or the Churrasqueira steak, grilled with ham and cheese and served with a fried egg and ‘granny’s special sauce’. DRINKS There’s a menu of classic cocktails. Wine and beer are also available; however, there is no list for these. SERVICE The space is large and busy, but staff are fast and friendly. AMBIENCE Relaxed and full of families, as it has a safe outdoor play area. (KK)
