Adega began in the late 90s when people could meet up and enjoy delicious traditional Portuguese food. Divine seafood, delightful chicken, yummy steaks, and warm hospitality in fantastic upmarket settings are now synonymous with Adega.
Their secret recipes have been passed on from generation to generation. Their dishes are expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Adega is always open and excited to serve you with the warm hospitality you have always remembered.
At Adega, they pride themselves on being the best in seafood, but they are also very much inspired by Portuguese cuisine. They also have an exclusive range of wines, finely crafted to complement their delicious meals – in true Portuguese style.
Try their Prawns drizzled in lemon butter, garlic sauce, spicy Chouriço, delectable Chicken, or famous grilled Portuguese Steak; they’re always ready to serve. At any Adega, they love to bring the taste of Portugal and Mozambique into your kitchen.
After all, they’re your family away from home! Once you have tasted their delicious seafood, you’ll know that the new benchmark for a seafood restaurant will be your local Adega. They proudly introduce Adega’s new kid on the block – Adega Lounge.
The lounge culture has become popular worldwide, as it promotes an intimate experience where one can hang around a classy bar, joining in on existing conversations or sitting down with friends and strangers along the bar.
