If you’re close by Póvoa de Varzim, this place is definitely a must. The best rotisserie chicken you’ll ever taste. The service is pretty quick and the place always has a line up. There are other chicken restaurants very close by but this place seems to always be favourited by the locals. When I say the locals I don’t only mean people from Póvoa, but from everywhere in Portugal, specially the Northern Portugal. The line ups go quickly and there’s seating for nearly 1000 people. The parking lot is quite large and with some patience you’ll find a parking spot. You’re greeted by someone just outside of the restaurant and they’re checking to make sure you’re fully vaccinated against Covid 19. As I write this review masks are still a requirement. It may be a little difficult to see in my photos but all the holes you see in the stainless steel are for the spits that turn to make your chicken. You could choose other items from the menu, however, the specialty, and people come from far and wide to have their chicken. The sauce is supposed to be spicy, I didn’t find it spicy but I have a very high tolerance for spicy food. The company that I was with all agreed that the sauce was spicy. So, ya I travel with a bunch of wussies. The chicken was served with French fries, but you could order salad as well. I noticed the bathrooms were down a set of stairs and I didn’t see a ramp so if you have mobility issues you might want to be aware of this. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone planning on visiting Northern Portugal. Sejam bem servidos!

I live in Canada, I have some portugues coworkers and they would always talk about this restaurant, so when i visited Portugal i knew i needed to visit. Everything they would stay about this place.l was completely right. I ordered half a chicken with fries and ended up having 1 1/2 chickens. It was incredible, its not fancy. But its convenient. And the price was really good too.

No seré yo quien contradiga tantas opiniones positivas que tiene este sitio pero me gustaría dar mi opinión. Empiezo por el resumen. Si puedes llevarte el pollo a casa, perfecto. Lo hacen bien, muy bien, pero no vas a sufrir un síndrome de Stendhal al probarlo, los hay mucho mejores en Portugal. El resto, batalla, batalla y batalla. Obviamente vas a un sitio barato, pero hasta una mesa de ikea puede ser barata y ser fantástica. El local es como un restaurante de mega área de servicio. La atención roza lo correcto, no esperes más. Las raciones no son taaaan enormes, de hecho casi me obligaron a pedir media y yo, que tampoco soy de comer como un animal, pedí otra media. Las patatas, congeladas (lo siento, no puedo con esto, jamás entenderé que si no eres un McDonald's o un Burger King, estropees un plato poniendo patatas congeladas), la ensalada nadaba en aceite bastante turbio. El café bien. Total, 15€ por una de pollo, una ensalada, dos cervezas, pan y un café. Tampoco es la panacea. Resumiendo. Hay sitios mucho mejores donde puedes cenar, tanto si buscas calidad como cantidad.

This is without a doubt the best grilled chicken you can have! The flavour of the meat is unmatched and the skin on the chicken is also incredible! I recommend asking for extra sauce to drizzle on the chicken. 12 eur for one chicken and it comes with fries. The rice was a bit underwhelming, so maybe skip the rice. But who cares, it's the best chicken

Um local de visita obrigatória na Póvoa de Varzim (e arredores). O que é que se come aqui? Bem, o nome do restaurante é auto-explicativo: o frango assado aqui é rei e senhor nos pedidos. Aquela pele crocante é qualquer coisa de extraordinário. Até mesmo para aquelas pessoas que não são grandes fãs de frango. A batata frita que vem a acompanhar é mesmo batata, muito saborosa. Talvez um senão será o óleo que fica no fundo da travessa, a embeber as batatas mais resistentes aos apetites, mas para isso terão de chegar lá. Tenham em atenção que as doses são aceitáveis (1 dose para 2 pessoas é mais que suficiente, mesmo que tenham fome). Bacalhau ou lulas? Nunca provei mas já vi passar. Talvez na próxima visita. Sobremesas? Nunca cheguei lá. O serviço é sempre atento e simpático. A atmosfera é um bocadinho barulhenta, mas aguenta-se bem, própria de um local em que por mais mesas que tenham (e são bastantes), há normalmente pessoas à espera, por isso convém irem cedo (12h ao almoço). Mais ainda nesta altura de férias.
