Our Uber driver raved about this place and told us it's his favorite restaurant and where locals liked to eat. We decided to gave it a try during our last night in Lisbon and loved it! We arrived early, around 6:00pm and although it was already busy, were seated immediately. Glad we came early because by the time we left, the place was packed with locals and people were waiting by the entrance. The Piri Piri grilled chicken was fantastic, very peppery and extremely flavorful. My wife and I split the full chicken which is cut and presented in a number of pieces. The meal includes a large and delicious salad, rice and a large plate of French fries. Way too much food for 2 people as we hardly made a dent in the fries. All of this for less than 20 euros! They also have a wide assortment of beers, wine and sangria. Our only regret is not dining here sooner.

This place is amazing. Not only is the chicken delicious but the steak is great too. My go to place. Service is good when they are not busy.

Really great chicken here, I highly recommend! Extremely flavorful, delicious skin, with a bit of a kick to it. The desserts we got were good, our favorite being the almond quindim.

We came here as my friend Mark has made a list of places to try based on eater.com recommendations, and this place was listed as having really good roast chicken with piri-piri. So we made a booking and super glad we did so cause by the time we left the restaurant later that night, there wasn't a single free table and in fact folks were waiting for tables to open up. We didn't get to sit in the main dining area, but rather a side dining room where there was this long table set up for a family get together. Eliza our server was lovely and we really enjoyed all the food! Pro Tip - you get charged individual amounts for the Bread and a variety of spreads (Sardine Pate stood out, and in a good way), those are not freebies, like you get in US. Yelp 2019

High 3s, low 4s. We wanted to try a new piri-piri restaurant, apart from our usual, on our last night in Lisbon. The restaurant is divided into two, a takeout and a sit-down area. Much like the other piri-piri spots we've been to before, we ordered their 1/2 chicken that already came with rice and plenty of fries and I added a whole order of the "grilled bacon" which turned out to be a slab of pork belly. Now I'm a huge sucker for pork belly so while this wasn't the best I've ever tried, I still devoured it. The chicken, though plenty in serving, could be more flavorful. We're also looking for more jus just like a competitor we've tried. Not the best one we've tried in Lisbon though I appreciate the variety in the menu! I also liked the rice so that's a plus point. Don't forget to dab your meat with generous piri-piri sauce!

I love A Valenciana's Roasted Chicken. It was our 2nd time visiting Lisbon, and the first thing we did this time around was head to A Valenciana for our favorite meal. Do yourself a favor and just get the Roasted Chicken and the artisanal bread. Make sure to try the sardine pate with the bread. It's simply the best combination you never knew you needed to try.

Everyone knows that you need to take a ride on Tram 28 when you visit Lisbon, but no one likes the thought of being stuffed inside the tram like sardines. Not everyone knows that you need to get piri piri chicken when you're in Lisbon... or that you can swing by A Valenciana for some of the best chicken in town and then take a short bus ride (the #742) to the Tram 28 terminus at Campo Ourique where you're guaranteed not just a seat, but way shorter lines than at the Martim Moniz terminus. But back to the chicken first. I arrived at around 1:20 PM on a Sunday and was initially discouraged by the line in front, but then I realized that the line was for takeaway. (When locals frequent a place, you know that's always a good sign.) We were immediately seated on the spacious outdoor patio, which I'd recommend any day over the crowded indoor restaurant. For €18, we enjoyed an entire chicken (the meat was super tender) as well as two heaping plates of fries and rice. I think I could've done without the rice because it wasn't very flavorful, but the fries were a nice touch. Free Wi-Fi is also a major plus.

On our first night in Lisbon, my friend and I were craving Piri Piri chicken and so we decided to give this place a try after seeing the high ratings online. The chicken was juicy but average. The best thing we had that night was their sangria! Best we had in Lisbon. Overall, it's a nice spacious restaurant with plenty of seats both indoors and outdoors but it felt like a touristy spot.

This place is famous for their piri piri chicken and they did not disappoint. Their chicken was beautifully cooked, with perfectly crispy skin and juicy meat inside. The rice and fries were pretty good, and the piri piri sauce / spicy sauce help give the sides some extra kick. We also got some bread and olives - note that if they bring out something you don't want, just don't touch it and they'll take it away after for no charge - and the bread was great to mop up the sauce / chicken drippings. The waffle cake was also a nice touch to end the meal. Overall this was a great place for some chicken and I would definitely recommend checking it out.
