Sonia is the kind of lady who can easily offend the easily offended, but this tough-broad attitude is exactly what makes Frangasqueira Nacional such an iconic Principe Real hole-in-the-wall.
It’s hard to believe that this woman runs a packed churrasqueira entirely by herself, but once she yells commands at you like a boot camp drill sargeant you realize that you’re not dealing with an ordinary local business; this is a community tailor made for thick-skinned foodies eager to devour Sonia’s scrumptious chicken, succulent sausages, and home made spicy sauce.
If you can’t handle her intensity, she doesn’t mind if you take your money elsewhere. Frankly, neither do the dozens of loyal customers waiting for a table in the Frangasqueira Nacional.
