Nando's, Portuguese chicken restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa
Nando's is a restaurant in Cape Town specializing in chicken marinated in PERi-PERi sauce that is grilled over an open flame. The meat comes with a choice of different sides and salads to complete the meal.
This restaurant was founded in 1987 by Robert Brozin and Fernando Duarte in Johannesburg as a single location. It later expanded to become an international chain with locations around the world.
The kitchen blends Portuguese cooking methods with South African spices and local ingredients that reflect the region's diverse culinary heritage. When you eat here, you feel the influence of these two traditions in every dish.
You will find this restaurant on Kloof Street in the Earlgo Building in central Cape Town with daily hours of operation. The kitchen accepts card payments and offers takeaway service if you prefer to eat elsewhere.
Every chicken piece soaks for 24 hours in a special mix of local herbs, spices, garlic, and bird's eye chili before grilling. This long marinating process is what gives each dish its deep and complex flavor.
