Beach and park barbecue workshops need licensing and permissions but they can be a great way to celebrate a team event or offsite in Portugal. We take care of the licensing for each location suitable to do something that is typically Portuguese, Barbecue Portuguese style!

Join Go Discover Portugal on a very typical Portuguese culinary tradition during a beach barbecue where you will learn to barbecue Portuguese style and enjoy this very typical Portuguese outdoor activity.

The barbecue you could say is something in the DNA of the Portuguese and whenever the weather is good, the Portuguese will bring the barbecue out of the garage and onto the garden, street or the official public areas where it is allowed and will grill whatever was good to get on the day. Usually, the entire family, friends or neighbors will join the event and each will bring something to make the occasion even more festive.
Unlike barbecuing in most of the rest of the world, you could consider Portugal’s grills a culinary occaision consisting of delicate fish such as Sea bass, Dourada and Sardins, among others, grilled octopus and piri piri chicken or some of the typical Portuguese sausages.

Portugal has many restaurants that offer charcoal grilled meats and fish, some of which are very good but to get the real experience there is nothing that compares to a barbecue in outdoor on a beach, in a park, or in designated areas for barbecuing that most towns have.

Barbecuing Portuguese style is always done on a charcoal grill, where the charcoal has been perfectly prepared to the point of red hot without flames. Chickens are coated in sauces, fish in rough sea salt and then they are grilled to perfection.
Grills are accompanied by salads, bread, and often roasted potatoes cooked straight in the fire.
