Do convívio de rua a um dos restaurantes mais famosos da cidade de Faro
Grelhados de carvão são a grande especialidade
Ao final de cada dia os pescadores juntavam-se na rua Infante Dom Henrique e ali assavam, num pequeno fogareiro, o que tinha restado da faina. Conviviam, comiam e partilhavam com quem aparecesse. Um conceito familiar que esteve na origem da abertura do Chalavar há mais de 25 anos e que se mantém até aos dias de hoje.
No centro do restaurante existe um grande grelhador onde Jorge Fernando prepara de forma única os grelhados (peixe e carne), que continuam a ser a grande especialidade da casa. O restaurante dispõe de duas salas, uma de homenagem ao fado e outra dedicada ao músico Zeca Afonso.
“Comer neste restaurante é como estar em casa, na nossa própria cozinha, entre família e amigos.”
Peixe e marisco de qualidade escolhidos por um verdadeiro homem do mar
Vitor Manuel Martins Lourenço | Proprietário
De trato fácil e maneiras simples, Vítor Lourenço é o rosto do Chalavar. Um homem que dispensa formalidades e cumprimenta toda a gente com um sorriso genuíno e honesto. É um apaixonado pelo mar e um profundo conhecedor da Ria Formosa. É Vítor quem escolhe todo o peixe que é servido no restaurante e apanha grande parte do marisco que chega à mesa dos clientes.
Além de gerir o restaurante, Vítor Lourenço assume também a presidência da Associação de Mariscadores e Viveiristas da Ria Formosa. É responsável pela organização da Festa da Ria, evento que todos os anos, durante o verão, atrai milhares de pessoas à capital algarvia.
