A Caseirinha — Restaurant in Peniche

I only ever use google reviews to give negative feedback but this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to leave a positive review. This restaurant is perfection. Me and two friends have grown up in London and eaten at a few chicken restaurants. We universally agree this is the best chicken we’ve all eaten ever. And one of us is a vegetarian. We ate here 4 times in one month of living in Baleal.

If your give the chicken a mini chest compression, you can see the delicious moisture reaching up to you as if the say ‘Im juicy and powerful’.

They serve the chicken with insanely good plain rice (I know it doesn’t make sense) and it comes with the perfect amount of fries.

The salad is unstoppable. The tomato is the perfect ripeness. It was slightly green and firm. Could tear it with your hand.

The staff are like long lost cousins. Alexandra has been our guardian angel this month and it’s a shame she wouldn’t let us buy her uniform of her back.

Almost forgot the desert. We tried every dessert and we’re never let down. But you have to order the Dolce De La Casa....

4/5*

The Frango was lightly smoked with a beautiful golden crust and charcoal flavours. The meat was mostly succulent and tender, with a minuscule amount of dry breast. More spice or Piri Piri flavour would have been further appreciated.

Served alongside the Frango was the essential explosion of carbohydrates; Chips, rice and bread. There’s nothing better to soak up all the excess oils from the Frango. The rice was lightly fried in olive oil and the chips had a very neutral potato flavour.

The olives were a good touch, with slightly spicy and garlicky flavours. The salad had a light vinaigrette, white wine vinegar, olive oil,...

This restaurant deserves 5 stars without a doubt. The staff are very friendly and helpful (and speak English). One thing, you must like meat! There aren’t many vegetarian options on the menu and they have only one fish option, the rest are steaks, ribs and chicken. Chicken and ribs especially are really nicely done. I’ve been a few times during our stay and was always satisfied. Note it gets quite busy in the evenings. The prices are priceless...
