Cafe Imperio - Monchique

We have been to this place a few times and it is always good. There is a limited menu, but boy do they do it well. The hand sliced ham is so tasty, the little carrot and olive dish amazing, but then the salad and Piri Piri chicken is to die for. We had been to another Piri Piri place in Portimao the previous week it was good as well but we felt a little rushed. The atmosphere in the old part we find better. But the outdoor is also great and on a clear day the views are stunning. This is a family run business, The prices are very good. Remember that do not take cards. WE LOVE THIS PLACE, SO DID OUR FAMILIY FROM THE USA. 100% worth a visit

We did not have reservations on a Thursday at 1 pm and the inside was full. We chose a table in the covered outdoor patio. The olives and carrot mix w cumin is so flavorful. Choice delicious tomato’s for the salad. The chicken was undeniably the Best we have had in the Algarve!!! Slow grill cooked to order so don’t be in a hurry!! The skin is crispy and the meat is mouthwatering moist. Owned and run by a sweet family-51 years- that’s saying a lot. We will be back for the ham and dessert soon

Just chicken on offer. We just had two galao. 1,30€ each

This is the perfect meal. From the appetizers of ham, cheese and tomato salad to the stove of chickens and perfectly cooked frits, this is the place to go in Monchique. They are closed today Tuesday and Wednesday, and they only accept cash.

Unser Vermieter hat uns das Restaurant empfohlen. Sonst hätten wir hier nicht aufgehört. Aber es war es wert: ausgezeichneter Käse und Schinken, leckerer Tomatensalat und dann das Piri-Piri Huhn mit knusprigen Pommes. Alternative Gerichte? Wenn nicht, müssen Sie nicht!
