Getting friends or family around a table is always good, but it takes a little organising. With a booking made in time and a varied menu, it all runs more smoothly.
Book ahead
For groups, calling ahead helps secure a table and prepare the service.
In busier periods, that head start makes all the difference.
Food to share
Small plates in the middle of the table are ideal for groups, letting everyone taste a bit of everything.
Then each person picks their own prego, burger or bitoque.
A relaxed pace
An informal setting allows long conversations without pressure to free the table.
At Pregaria, in Loule, it is a great backdrop for a group celebration.
