Alegria Restaurant menu favourites 

They have a variety of wonderful array of starters. However, the peri-peri chicken livers and the West Coast mussels are always winners. They both are great value for money and will have you ordering a second round.

For the main course, you should opt for the "pasta of the day". It will be the most delicious chicken and mushroom pasta you have had in a very long time. The flavours are delectable and well-balanced. Another highly recommended main is the seafood espetada, which comes with flavoursome prawns, mussels and calamari. The freshness they provide will make you want to return for more.
