O Rei Do Abadejo, Chicken restaurant in Ipiranga District, Brazil.
O Rei Do Abadejo is a chicken restaurant in the Ipiranga District of São Paulo, Brazil, serving poultry dishes prepared with Portuguese-influenced recipes. The dining room features wooden furniture and Brazilian artwork on the walls.
The restaurant was founded in 1972 by Portuguese immigrants from Madeira, starting with a single location in Ribeirão Pires. Over the following decades, it grew into a group of locations across the São Paulo region.
The name of the restaurant refers to cod, a fish deeply rooted in Portuguese cooking. Yet the menu focuses on chicken prepared with Portuguese-influenced recipes that have been passed down through generations in São Paulo.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday and serves dinner until 23:00 on weekends. Coming earlier on weekends is a good idea, as tables fill up quickly on those days.
The name translates from Portuguese as King of Cod, even though no fish appears on the menu. This plays on the founders' origins in Portugal, where cod is a staple ingredient in daily cooking.
