A Valenciana

It all begins with an idea.

A Valenciana was founded way back in 1914 and is famed for its Piri Piri Chicken amongst other traditional Portuguese dishes

A Valenciana is a traditional Portuguese restaurant located in Lisbon, well-known for its authentic, hearty, and homestyle dishes, many say are the best in Lisbon. This restaurant, established in 1914, has built a strong reputation over the years, especially for its roast chicken (frango assado), often considered one of the best in the city. The chicken is roasted over charcoal, giving it a smoky and flavorful taste, and typically served with sides like fries, rice, or salad (ask for the Piri Piri Sauce) .
