The churrascaria is the default canteen of the Angolan city, and Churrasqueira do Plateau does the format correctly: half a frango grelhado — grilled chicken split and cooked over charcoal — served with a fierce peri-peri sauce, chips, and rice. It is the meal that sustains truck drivers, construction workers, and travellers across the country, and in the right hands it is genuinely very good. The chicken here is properly charred on the outside and still juicy through, and the peri-peri has real heat.
Prices are low, service is quick, and the place is busy at lunch with people who eat here every day — always a good sign. If you are watching your budget in Angola (which is a reasonable thing to do, given the general cost of the country), the churrascaria is where you eat, and this one earns its place as a regular stop.
