Seafood<\/a> is the real drawcard, think prawns drenched in lemon butter and garlic, towering platters built for sharing, and that unmistakable peri-peri chicken done properly, but there\u2019s also options of spicy chouri\u00e7o, flame-grilled steaks<\/a>, and all the comforting classics you\u2019d expect from a spot that\u2019s been doing this for decades.
