• Portuguese • London Bridge

Booked 8 times today

On the doorstep of the bustling Borough Market, the first Casa do Frango lies within a converted 19th-century industrial warehouse, a building full of character, complete with vaulted ceilings, arched windows and relics of the past. Casa’s menu is inspired by the rich culinary history of Portugal and the wider Mediterranean. True to Portuguese tradition, there is an emphasis on cooking over a wood-charcoal grill. The restaurant has become known for piri-piri chicken, with perfectly caramelised skin and a deep flavour which comes from a brush of Casa’s secret piri-piri blend. The menu offers so much more, with small and large plates all designed to share. Everything at Casa is made fresh in-house, using top quality, locally sourced ingredients. The food is complemented with an all-Portuguese wine list, cocktails, mocktails and Super Bock beer on draught. At Casa London Bridge there is also a speakeasy cocktail bar called the Green Room, perfect for pre and post dinner cocktails…

First off the bar is lovely and i will be going there again. the staff were lovely and very accommodating. the poets in residence were a lovely touch and having poetry to take home was a nice touch. Being gluten free and with a fryer down there were not very many options for food. the menu is pretty small anyway and could do with some expanding. They did try to accomodate me the best the could but with only cheese on the left, we left off eating. The wine choices were great. I will most definitely be back but I will eat first!

Overall an “okay” experience but at over £30 for. Sunday lunch errs on the expensive side . Service charge set at 15% in line with US with no valid justification whatsoever, you do have the option to amend down but only if you ask. We won’t be going back , which is a shame as has the potential to be really great, however the over inflated prices and the US style tipping is a big no no
