About Frango
Frango is a neighbourhood tasca in Campanha where they're grilling meat over charcoal and you can watch them do it from the street. The place is small, simple, and runs like a proper local spot — counter service, quick turnover, full by dinner time. They do half chickens, beef steaks, pork ribs, sausages, and fish of the day, all charred and seasoned properly. One reviewer brought a family of 4 and walked out for €57 with drinks. Another came back three times in a five-night stay because it was 2 minutes from the hotel and the food didn't require thinking after a day of walking. The service is consistently described as friendly and attentive — the staff make you feel at home rather than rushed through. It's the kind of place locals repeat because the price-to-quality ratio doesn't exist anywhere else in the city, and the steak at €14 tastes like they're not making money on it.
What Stands Out
Charcoal grilling done right
Multiple reviewers mention watching the charcoal chicken being made from the street and describe the beef steak as 'sublime, juicy, tender, and with that smoky touch that makes it unforgettable.' One reviewer paid €14 for a steak they called 'ridiculous' value.
Price that doesn't match the quality
A family of 4 ate for €57 with drinks and bread. A solo diner called the steak at €14 'a ridiculous price.' Another group of 4 spent €39 total with drinks included. Reviewers consistently praise the 'price/quality ratio.'
Service that feels like home
Described as 'excelente,' 'very kind and friendly,' and making guests 'feel in casa.' One regular returned multiple times during their stay because the waiter was attentive even when arriving late.
