Work up an appetite with a friendly match at Marrickville Tennis Club before heading into Casa Do Benfica for authentic inspired Portugese cuisine. Meet with friends in this family-friendly venue and begin with entrees like mussels in a rich housemade tomato sauce and grilled King prawns followed by mains of fried chicken in a mushroom cream sauce served with chips or perhaps some marinated beef skewers with chips and salad. Those who prefer seafood are spoiled for choice with dishes like grilled codfish with boiled vegetables, potatoes and a garlic-olive oil sauce with dishes complemented by a selection of Portugese wines from some of the country’s most revered grape-growing regions. Be sure to treat yourself to a dessert like meringue with an egg and almond lemon custard.
