Great little place, nice food, proper chip's, Great Chicken, Great Fish, The entry, main course, Drink and coffee all included in the price, the only problem here was that you had to go on a mission to the bathroom 🚻 and don't forget to ask for the key and the lock is reversed, so to open it turn it like you would be locking it lol 🤣😂👌

The grilled dishes are amazing and affordable at euro 8.50. A bottle of 1.5L water costs euro 1.00. All meal comes with salad, bread, olives and a small fruit plate for dessert.
The service can be slow as the place is packed with local customers. But you can’t be fast when being in Portugal. Just take your time and enjoy a beer instead.

**Review based on the visit to Portugal in Dec 2018***
What a find!! We visited the Silves Castle and was looking for a lunch spot. We just accidentally stumbled into this place. I saw a huge smoking BBQ loaded with chicken close to the sidewalk, lots of tables spilling out to the sidewalk from the restaurant and a lot of locals sitting shoulder to shoulder having a meal!! What more can you ask for to know that this can't go wrong!!

We got a table in few minutes and then the food arrived. First it was bread, olives and a mix of carrot and bell pepper drizzled with olive oil.. then in a little while came 2 plates of tomato, onion and lettuce salad with a lovely dressing..

Then came the fries and finally, 2 full plates of mouth watering, piri piri chicken!! Wow !! What a treat.. my son and I finished almost 80% of the chicken as my wife and daughter enjoyed the rest:).. The chicken was very nicely done and dabbed with piri piri sauce which gives a very nice taste. The owner came to me and gave me 2 more sauce bottles with one having 3 chilli spiciness and the other having 5 !! YES I did try the 5 chilli and it WAS spicy even for my standards !! When they saw me try this it really brought a wide smile to their faces !!

The atmosphere was amazing, sitting next to locals and having a Portuguese meal!! We finished all the food and then more food came in the form of fruits and a piece of almond cake.. That is it!! I couldn't eat anything else as I was soooooooo full!!!

Off to the next destination ... Albufeira....

Fast service, great chicken, friendly service. Try the caramel mousse dessert, it is fantastic! Hard to find anywhere else and it’s very unique Portuguese. Outside seating only, however they have canopies with side walls which prevent cold/wind.

What can I say…I’m still dreaming about the piri piri chicken! Very simple set up, friendly service, simple menu of meat and fish all chargrilled outside. Fresh salad , bread and olives included. Lovely cold beer , but the main event of piri piri chicken is what dreams are made of. I’m hoping to re…

If you want piri piri chicken in the Algarve then look no further. The food here is fantastic and the price exceptional. Bread and olives to start with some grilled peppers. Then a whole charcoal grilled chicken between two accompanied by chips and a lovely fresh salad. I would recommend asking for…

Here’s a natural-sounding review you can use: I had a great experience at this restaurant. The grilled chicken was the highlight — perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside with a nicely charred, smoky flavour on the outside. It was well-seasoned without being overpowering, and you could tell the qual…

We visited here some years ago and it was great. The restaurant has the theatre of an outside grill for the chicken & meat . Service was not the best and paying was hard work. So we were two couples … one meat grill and three chicken. And that’s how it was served which was incorrect as our friends …
