Restaurante NAU is born.
A Portuguese house opens its doors in the heart of Peniche.
Since 1962
Since 1962, a table has never stopped being set.
For more than six decades, NAU has accompanied Peniche, watched families grow, welcomed generations of guests and continues to do the same today, now in the hands of the third generation.
The past is honoured.
The present is lived with dedication.
The future is built with truth.
The table gathers memory.
Guests return, families grow and the house becomes a meeting point.
A new generation takes the helm.
Sérgio Franco and his wife inherit the story with respect and purpose.
Tradition continues.
The same Portuguese soul, now with a renewed identity.
The third generation
Continuing without erasing.
In 2025, Sérgio and Mónica took the helm of NAU. Not to change what NAU has always been, but to keep writing its story.
A table that has seen generations
Some guests now bring their children and grandchildren to the same table where they once ate as children.
A kitchen with the same soul
Recipes evolved. Technique too. But the will to serve Portuguese food with respect remains the same.
A house made of people
A restaurant is not measured only by its dishes. It is measured by the people who return.
The story continues
Come be part of the story.
After more than six decades, we continue to welcome every guest as we always have: at the table.
