About Churrasqueira Bons Amigos
Churrasqueira Bons Amigos is a stripped-back grill in Aguda where charcoal-fired chicken, pork ribs, and picanha form the backbone of a menu that rewards simplicity. Reviewers consistently praise the frango assado as "among the best in the region" and note generous portions—a three-person Sunday lunch with grilled chicken, potatoes, rice, salad, drinks, and two desserts costs under €36. The Saturday menu at €8.50 (bread, drink, coffee included) is a local institution. Service is described as practical and quick once seated, though weekend crowds mean 15–20 minute waits are normal. The wine list earns mention alongside excellent coffee and house desserts. Dogs are welcome, high chairs accommodate families, and free parking sits outside. The atmosphere is casual and cosy, occasionally loud on busy days, but the authenticity—genuine Portuguese environment, friendly staff—resonates with both locals and tourists seeking an unpretentious meal.
Churrasqueira Bons Amigos is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
