Coco Rico: Portuguese grilled chicken restaurant in Kirchberg

Enjoy your meal

Alert: very, very caliente chicken!

Listen up, chick, now that’s one fine henhouse! We’ve found you the hen that has Kirchberg clucking! With Coco Rico, Mansogroup is unveiling its 13th restaurant concept in Luxembourg, bringing a little taste of the Algarve to the heart of Kirchberg, just a stone’s throw from the Bibliothèque nationale tram stop. The star here is Frango da Guia, a small Portuguese chicken marinated and grilled flat for perfectly golden skin and ultra-juicy meat. At Coco Rico, two marinades take center stage, created around chef Victor Batista Pereira’s recipe. Mild or spicy: choose your side! The mild version: garlic, paprika and just the right amount of heat for maximum flavor. The spicy version: white pepper and Carolina Reaper for those who like it hot! You can order a whole chicken and enjoy it with your fingers, as tradition dictates, or go for a boneless version if your lunch break is a little rushed. Practical and delicious! And what to serve with it? The unmissable batatas a murro, those lightly crushed Portuguese potatoes. Even though the Frango da Guia steals the show, this Portuguese restaurant’s menu doesn’t stop there. On the menu: around fifteen dishes to mix things up. Behind the stoves is Victor Batista Pereira, a chef with Portuguese roots who grew up in a restaurant-owning family in central Portugal. After spending a decade with Mansogroup, notably at Piri Piri and Batucada, he is opening a new chapter with Coco Rico. And we recommend a little sangria to go with it all! Bom apetite!
