De Baga Chapel Allerton

You're walking down Stainbeck Lane in Chapel Allerton and stumble into De Baga—a proper no-nonsense Portuguese spot that feels like someone's converted a local chapel into somewhere to actually eat well. The room's got character without trying too hard: stripped-back walls, honest lighting, the kind of place where your neighbours are actually eating next to you rather than performing for Instagram. The menu centres on flame-grilled seafood and meat cooked simply and seriously, which means you'll get what you ordered without unnecessary fuss or foam.
