Just a stone's throw away from the bustling Gran Vía of Madrid lies Piri Piri Frango. Specializing in authentic Portuguese-style grilled chicken, this spot offers a focused menu that speaks volumes about their dedication to mastering the art of poultry perfection.
At the heart of their offerings is the legendary piri piri sauce – a spicy, tangy concoction that elevates the succulent grilled chicken to a whole new level. Each bite tingles with a delightful mix of heat and flavor, a true testament to the rich culinary traditions of Portugal. The simplicity of their menu ensures that every dish is executed with precision and passion, making the chicken the undisputed star of the show.
But it's not just the flavors that make Piri Piri Frango stand out. Its proximity to the iconic Gran Vía makes it a convenient pit stop for tourists and locals alike. Whether on a sightseeing spree or simply craving a hearty meal, this eatery promises a gastronomic experience that's both satisfying and easy on the wallet.
They have two other locations, one in the Lavapiés district and the other, further from the center, in the Prosperidad district.
