Chicken. Fire. Family.
An Algarve favourite built around charcoal-grilled chicken, piri-piri and the kind of welcome people come back for.
FAMILY-RUN SINCE 1975
51 YEARS OF CHICKEN. FIRE. FAMILY.
A genuine Algarve family restaurant since 1975 — not a new concept. Generations of visitors have returned to the same fire, the same welcome. Many first came as children; today they bring their own.
Welcome to Chicken George
On the road between Carvoeiro and Benagil there is a family churrasqueira where chicken is grilled over charcoal the way it always has been. No hurry, no fuss — just simple food, done properly.
Charcoal chicken, done right
Real charcoal, crisp skin, piri-piri to your taste. Served with chips, tomato salad and bread. That is it. And it is more than enough.
A family story
Serving generations of families for decades — people who came on holiday, returned every year, and now bring their children and grandchildren.
