This tiny, mostly takeaway-only grill (the new location now spares space for two tables) does splendid chicken, ribs, crioula sausage and turkey kebabs worth lining up for. Grab a bird to go along with house-cut potato chips and spiced olives, all of which can make for a wondrously carnivorous picnic in nearby Jardim do Príncipe Real.
