Cozinha da Avó Carminha

Cozinha da Avo Carminha is a takeaway and catering kitchen in Portimao built on the tagline comida caseira como antigamente, home cooking like in the old days. It grew out of Avo Carminha's years of cooking for family, friends and events, which she eventually turned into her own business preparing daily ready-to-eat dishes and full menus. The kitchen focuses on traditional Portuguese home cooking, offering pratos do dia to take away as well as catering for family gatherings, corporate functions and celebrations across the Portimao area. It is based at Rua dos Tres Bicos, close to the town centre, and keeps customers updated on the day's menu through Instagram. As a takeaway rather than a sit-down restaurant, Cozinha da Avo Carminha fills a different niche to Portimao's beachfront and old town dining rooms, giving residents and self-catering visitors a genuine home-cooked alternative to eating out.
