The Great Melbourne Nando's Census: A Quest for Peri-Peri Perfection!
Ah, Nando's. The land of flame-grilled chicken, peri-peri sauce of legendary heat (or not-so-legendary heat, depending on your spice tolerance), and enough casually thrown shade at other chicken establishments to make a sassy flamingo blush. But for a Melbourne local like yourself, the burning question is: just how many Nando's are scattered across our fair city?
Fear not, peri-peri pilgrims! We've embarked on a top-secret mission (well, maybe not that secret) to uncover the truth.
Spoiler Alert: It's Not Quite Nando-Narnia
Now, before you get visions of a Melbourne transformed into a Nando's wonderland, complete with chicken-shaped buildings and a peri-peri river (tempting, right?), we gotta level with you. As of right now, there are four glorious Nando's locations within the Melbourne city limits. That's right, four beacons of peri-peri goodness, ready to satisfy your chicken cravings.
But wait, there's more! Just because the inner-city Nando's count is a bit shy, doesn't mean you're out of luck. Melbourne is the heart of Victoria, and Victoria, my friends, boasts a whopping 53 Nando's. So, if you're willing to venture out a touch (think Dandenong, Epping, or even Berwick!), your Nando's options become practically limitless.
Pro Tip: Download the Nando's app. It's like having a pocket-sized Nando's map at your disposal, perfect for those moments when a peri-peri attack hits and you need a fix, stat!
