Frango Portuguese Charcoal Chicken Grand Opening at Marrickville Metro

Overview

Sydney's iconic Portuguese chicken institution since 1989, Frango has opened its latest outpost in the Marrickville Metro, and to celebrate, it's hosting a Family Fun Fair on Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8.

Frango's first chicken shop was opened in Petersham in 1989 by the Fernandes family, who entranced chicken lovers in the Inner West with their signature hot, rich and creamy chilli sauce. It led to eight other locations — including Sydney's first-ever charcoal chicken drive-thru in Edmondson Park.

Luis Fernandes Jnr, son of the Frango founders, and his wife Rima Fernandes are helming the business growth across Sydney, including this latest location in Marrickville. Luis grew up in the suburb and is passionate about bringing his family's legacy to the local community.

Besides offering lots of parking options and longer opening hours, the Marrickville Metro location will offer all the same menu items as Petersham and is equipped with plenty of al fresco seating. Frango was an instant hit with Sydney chicken lovers over 30 years ago with its fusion of traditional Portuguese charcoal cooking and the rich flavours of the founders' Angolan heritage to produce succulent chicken.

At the grand opening on Saturday, October 7, there'll be chicken slathered in the signature chilli sauce, of course, as well as face painting, balloons for kids and lots of freebies to take home.

Two more stores are confirmed to be opening soon, and the family have said they are scouting more drive-thru locations so Sydneysiders all over the city can enjoy some charcoal chicken.

Frango Portuguese Charcoal Chicken at Marrickville Metro is open from 10.30am–9pm from Monday to Saturday and 10.30am–8pm on Sunday. The Family Fun Fair is happening all day on Saturday, October 7.
