Founders Marco and Jake have a friendship forged over Frango, with trips to the local Piri-Piri shacks being the highlight of many summers spent at Marco’s home in the Algarve.
After years of unparalleled Piri-Piri perfection, the pair knew that they had to bring this humble dish home and do it justice for thousands of hungry Londoners. They were determined to honour the authentic Algarvian cooking techniques, flavour and experience. And so, Casa do Frango was born.
We believe that the quality of the final product can only be as good as the quality of the ingredients. That’s why we aim to work with the best suppliers in the industry.
From British chicken farmers to Portuguese Piri-Piri growers, to Galician fishermen – we do not discriminate and we will go the extra mile to ensure we have the best produce.
All our chicken comes from a trusted family butcher who supplies high-welfare birds from a hand-picked selection of farms in Norfolk and Shropshire.
Whilst in the Algarve we worked with a legendary grill-master who shared the secrets behind the best Piri-Piri chicken in the world. We always stay true to our roots: we only grill over wood-charcoal, we cook all our chicken from raw, we use smaller 900g birds to ensure beautifully even cooking and we always brush three times, with our secret Piri-Piri blend.
Our menu pays homage to the many delights of the region, with traditional sides and sharing dishes highlighting the variety of Portuguese cuisine, from classics with a twist to seasonal favourites and a range of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Take our Bacalhau Fritters for example; traditionally made with salt cod and potatoes, we’ve swapped in chickpeas for an extra crunch, perfect foil for our tangy lemon aioli.
The dessert menu at Casa continues our love affair with traditional Portuguese dishes, featuring the world-famous Pastel de Nata – made fresh every day at our Shoreditch Pastelaria – a traditional thick Chocolate Mousse, and our Casa Almond Cake, perfect with a scoop of ice cream and a Portuguese Bica Coffee.
The drinks menu is a carefully curated selection of Portuguese wines, innovative cocktails, and Portugal’s favourite drink, a properly chilled Super Bock beer on draught.
Our drinks menu wouldn’t be complete without a selection of Port, and we have options to suit everyone, from aficionados through to first-timers, with our hugely refreshing White Port & Tonic.
For those in the know, we also serve Portugal’s famous Sumol soft drink and Carvalhelhos mineral water.
All of these can be enjoyed in our restaurants, or for those looking for something sultrier, our dedicated cocktail bar, The Green Room at Casa London Bridge.
We’re keeping spirits high throughout October with the launch of our Casa Hour: £5 cocktails from 4-6PM every day! Trade in your late nights for long lunches and join us for Caipirinhas and Sangria galore.
In case you hadn’t heard! We’ve had such an amazing response that we’re extending Eat Out To Help Out on Mondays and Tuesdays in October. Double up with Casa Hour and treat yourself to a trip to the Algarve, back in time for Bake Off.
