About Cervejaria Mucaba
A lunch or evening at Cervejaria Mucaba is built around the francesinha, and the version here — with its sauce drawing repeat mentions on its own — is the reason most people make the trip to Salgueiros-Miramar. The croquettes and rissois are the right way to start, and the fried chocos are worth knowing about too. The room looks out over the sea, and on a clear day that view does a lot of the work. Order the house-made potatoes alongside whatever you choose: the people who tried them called them addictive, and they were not wrong.
