A very good "churrasqueira" where you can buy the famous portuguese roasted chicken - take away only.
The traditional way is to order a chicken either with lemon or piri-piri sauce, a serving of chips and buy a "litrosa" which is a 1lt beer bottle very, very, cold. Ah, and you eat with your hands! 😊
