The place
The public story of the brand starts with street food around the local beaches and grows into a house that values ingredients, slow fermentation, and a Portuguese take on shared dining. The result is warm, local, and a little unexpected.
Vegetarian options
Many guests consider O Relva the house's best vegetarian burger, with real character and a well-earned place on the menu.

From kitchen to table
These videos show the craft in the kitchen and the energy in the room, with a focus on the burger, the pizza, and the overall mood of Lanchonete Portuguesa.
The moment the grill does the rest: seared meat, crisp edges, and the indulgent side of the house.
Dough shaped with patience, opened by hand, and the kitchen's Neapolitan side in motion.
A reel that captures the energy of Lanchonete Portuguesa between service, atmosphere, and the table itself.
The place, Apúlia
A fishing village with a market and an incredible food culture.



Atmosphere and updates
Instagram and Facebook are the best places to track seasonal hours, event nights, and day-of updates without depending on third-party listings.
The mood lives in long dinners, sangria on the table, and an interior that feels like a Portuguese living room reimagined.
For seasonal hours, events, and day-of updates, Instagram and Facebook remain the most reliable place to check.
Location
Just steps from the beach, with nearby parking and a direct Google Maps link to make arrival easy.
