An airy, foliage-filled homage to the Algarve that elevates piri-piri chicken from fast food to a convivial, buzzy feast.
Ordering Strategy
Order half a chicken per person (Piri-Piri is the classic, though Oregano exists for milder palates) and share the African Rice, which is portioned generously.
What to order
Piri-Piri Chicken
The 'main event' is wood-charcoal grilled and described by critics as 'salty and spicy in all the right places' with a crisp, lightly charred, fiery skin that elevates it far above high-street chains.
African Rice
A substantial and 'rich' side dish that is 'planted with shards of crisp chicken skin,' making it what Jay Rayner calls 'a great night out' on a plate.
Gazpacho
Hailed as the 'star' of the small plates, this version is a 'thick, rustic stew roughly blitzed and full of garlic astringency and sunshine.'
Grilled Chorizo
This 'right kind' of charred sausage is served with vinegary pickled peppers and a distinctive black olive mayo, offering a deep, smoky flavour profile.

Good to know
The London Bridge and Mayfair locations feature hidden speakeasy bars (The Green Room) worth visiting. It gets loud and busy, so book ahead.
