About Balagan Ericeira
Levantine food is rare enough in Ericeira that Balagan earns its place on the shortlist fast. The hummus, falafel, pita and chicken shawarma are what people keep ordering, and the kitchen handles the whole spread with enough confidence that regulars come back for both brunch and dinner. Staff read the table well — a dog arrives and a water bowl appears before anyone asks — and that kind of attentiveness runs through the whole visit. The room looks out over one of Ericeira's essential beaches, with the ocean sitting right there in the window. For a town where most menus lean firmly Portuguese, this is a genuinely different meal.
