Casa do Frango Mayfair

Flame-Grilled Portuguese Charm in the Heart of Mayfair

Just off the buzz of Regent Street, Casa do Frango Mayfair brings the soul of southern Portugal to central London. Tucked away on Heddon Street, this rustic-chic spot is known for its authentic Algarvian cuisine, gorgeous tiled interiors, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Whether you're heading to a gig nearby or just soaking up the city, it’s an ideal stop for flame-grilled piri-piri chicken, sharing plates, and Portuguese wines in a stylish yet laid-back setting.

Why Concert-goers love it

Casa do Frango is a quick stroll from several of London’s major music venues, making it a convenient pre-show destination. The buzzing atmosphere sets the tone for a fun night out, and the efficient service means you won’t be late for the opening act. Plus, the menu is ideal for sharing – think juicy chicken, smoky octopus, and garlic bread – perfect for groups fueling up before the show. Though it’s lively, the ambient noise levels stay comfortably conversational, so it’s a great place to relax before the energy of the concert.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for shareable plates and a buzzy pre-show vibe
• Solo travelers grabbing a bite before checking off a bucket-list gig
• Couples wanting a cozy, flavorful dinner in a charming setting
• Fans who want to kick off the night somewhere lively and stylish
• Budget-conscious music lovers – prices are fair for central London

What People Say

Diners rave about the authentic flavors and especially the succulent piri-piri chicken that’s grilled over wood charcoal. Reviewers consistently mention the friendly, attentive staff and how the food comes out fast – a huge plus for those on a concert schedule. The setting is often described as “atmospheric and beautiful,” with plenty of character and charm. The wine list and Portuguese beers also get high marks for quality and value.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests love the lively vibe, a few note that it can get a touch crowded during peak hours – so arriving a bit early is smart if you're on a tight timeline. Also, the menu is chicken-focused, so vegetarians may find fewer options (though the sides and starters are still delicious).

The Bottom Line

If you're after bold flavors, quick service, and a fun vibe just minutes from your concert, Casa do Frango Mayfair is a winning choice.
