The Shop

The Carrossel restaurant was born in 1990 when José Alberto França Romão, a fisherman´s son, decided to draw a menu of local "Gastronomic Poetry", which, in truth, form an anthropological collection of the traditional gastronomy of Figueira da Foz. The Carrossel has every day, on its menu, dishes that are so typical of the area, namely the “samos de feijoada” (bean stew of cod bladder), “canja de bacalhau” (cod soup), a “chora de línguas de bacalhau” (the crying of codfish), the “feijoada de búzios” (shells bean stew), among others, always in the register of the fish.
Carrossel – “Poesias Gastronómicas” (Gastronomical Poetry) has been a brand since 2015 but the restaurant concept exists and has been improved since 1990.

Shop History

The “Carrossel” restaurant (Carousel Restaurant) is located in Figueira da Foz and has been open since 1990. With its own concept, it is already a reference when we talk about traditional gastronomy in Figueira da Foz. The restaurant’s menu is its greatest, immaterial heritage. However, materially, the representation of Figueira da Foz is also perceived. The collection of prints by the artist Zé Carlos shows "Gente da Nossa Terra"(People of Our Land), with characters as characteristic as "A Varina"(The Varine), "A Vendedeira de pixas"(The very small shrimps saleswoman), "A Mulher das Pevides"(The woman who used to sell pumpkin seeds), "O Pitrolino” (The man who used to sell oil, among other products, at people’s doorsteps) or "Homem da Bolacha Americana "(The American Cookie Man), among many others. There are also other works that allude to the city of Figueira da Foz, with its sea, its monuments, the fishing, the trawlers and also some representations of carousels, which give the restaurant its name.
