Casa do Frango, the Portuguese grilled chicken connoisseurs, have brought a pocket of the sun-soaked Algarve to East London, with the opening of a new restaurant in Shoreditch. Casa do Frango Shoreditch will shine a light on the f lavours of authentic Algarvian cuisine, with influences from other regions of Portugal. As with its first London Bridge site, charcoal- grilled piri piri chicken will take centre stage, with the restaurant upholding Algarvian cooking traditions and preserving the age- old techniques of the region’s grill masters. The drinks menu will feature an exclusively Portuguese wine offering as well as a cocktail list utilising special Portuguese spirits and three special Casa do Frango beers, created in collaboration with an Algarvian brewery.

Designed by A- nrd studio, the overall tone of the restaurant is channelling the country ’s treasured café culture, with the ground floor housing a bespoke dark oak bar, where customers will be able to enjoy a menu of petiscos – the Portuguese equivalent of tapas. Walking through, a focal point of the room is the open plan Pasteleria (Bakery), where several varieties of pastéis de nata – Portugal’s lauded custard tarts – are served from behind the three meter height glazed facade.
