Reviews of Bar Douro London Bridge

B. A.

The restaurant is Portuguese tapas. We had 6 plates between 2. It’s a nice atmosphere and nice setting to eat. The food was nice. We especially liked the cheese, beef cheeks and octopus.

We went to a supper club by Bar Bouro x Kricket’s. It was amazing! I loved the combination of Indian and Portuguese flavour. I guess my fusion of food with Indian spices work. From the start to finish, all the dishes were bursting with flavour that kept my taste buds interested. My favourite dish is the clam with Indian spice. It was out of this world! Each dishes were matched up with wine, which meant that we tried 5 different kinds of wine, one of which was fortified wine that came with dessert. I love open kitchen where I can see chefs cooking and serving dishes carefully. It’s mesmerising at times. It’s shame that it’s only one night, but I’ll love to try their regular menus next time. Thank you for the nice evening to the chefs, staff and my friend who invited me.

I'm a fan of Portuguese food and this place meets the basic standard. The main dishes were all okay, nothing amazing but the starters were really good. If you go I'd recommend the Pataniscas and the Croquettes (I was so busy enjoying didn't even snap a picture). These two dishes were the reason I picked 4 instead of 3 stars. Prices are on the pricier side but it should be expected for Tapas. Portion wise I'd say 2 per person should be a good rule of thumb and 3 each if you're hungry. Food took a longer than expected time to arrive, otherwise no complaints.

Bar Douro has been on my list to try. After tasting quite a few different dishes, here are my recommendation : Grilled sardines and grilled tomatoes on sourdough -this is really good, a must have. Salt cod fritters Steak with spinach and egg yolk

K. L.

Came here for my birthday with my Portuguese girlfriend. Dishes were fine, nothing particularly special for London. In fact we felt it lacked the 'Portuguese touch'. The differences start with the tiny plates, lack of staples like clams / pork, to the flavour of the food... As well the usual Portuguese hospitality is missing... It was some of the tiniest octopus i ever seen 😅 The meal felt like a watered down and underwhelming Barrafina. Also, even though I specified it was my birthday, there was no special mention nor any care given... I may as well should have gone somewhere else.. Extremely average meal for London, I would have been happier at Nandos to be honest.

F. A.

Small cozy restaurant. Friendly staff and great environment. Good food and good service. I would say it is a bit over budget (£130 for 3 adults and 1 child)

C. Z.

好吃，强烈推荐！Amazing food, drink and service! Port Tonic and Fig leaves were recommended by Edu, who is super friendly!! We also ordered sardines, steak, tart and ice cream. They are sooo delicious. Highly recommended!

A. W.

Average. We ordered the Aubergine pie, Cod Hash and the Portuguese sausage which were all equally lovely in their own right. The salt cod fritters however were not great. These were mostly batter, while the cod itself unfortunately did not have a nice taste. Further, the Octopus at £13.00 could have been more fresh & was slightly over cooked; chewy and with the ends looking like it had been sitting out for a while (so, that hard rubbery look at each end of the dish). It wasn't bad, but the quality did not reflect the price point. Service was slow, unattentive and unfortunately just not good. This is despite only having 7 other people in the restaurant (two seperate tables, all of whom were 75% through their respective meals). I can't say it was a terrible experience, but it wasn't good and unlikely I would return.

j. U.

A very pleasant surprise. All the food we had were amazing. Good service tho it’s a bit cold sitting outside at this time. They moved us to a better table with heating so that was really kind. The bacalhau fritters were very good. All the food were delicious. The best for me was the button bean dish. Sardines were greatly combined with coriander mayo and tomato paste which worked very well. The pork spare ribs melts in your mouth. The first bottle of red wine on their list was delicious.

J.

I took my partner to Bar Douro for a birthday meal. It was our first time visiting a Portuguese restaurant in the UK, and we enjoyed the dishes we ordered: octopus, broccoli and steak particularly the smoked Portuguese sausage croquettes. It was new to us - we didn’t expect the texture of the smoked sausage to be similar to pulled pork/beef (but a slightly drier version). We also ordered desserts which my partner was surprised the pasteis de nata came with a candle😊 Overall, we had a good experience at Bar Douro. I would definitely return to try other dishes.

S. C.

Garlic shrimp is BOMB. Order sourdough to soak up the juices after. Also highly recommend sardines on sourdough.

I. B.

Cosy place with amazing food, perfect for wine or cocktail sip and starters to share. Loved it all we’ve ordered - garlic prawns, octopus salad, salt cod hash. Def will be back.

O. S.

Great find around London Bridge Area! Truthfully Portuguese place with good wine selection and bites. Prices are very adequate and they have big terrace, not too noisy as i was expecting as its next to train line. Showed up with no booking and were instantly seated and covid measures are in place and each table was properly disinfected. Definitely will be back. Place is located further down from "where pancakes are", located in one of vaults under train line.

S. G.

Revisited twice now! Amazing food and ambience,loved it.

D. D. R.

This should be a 4-5 star rating, but the portions are just too small. I had a few shared starters a main and a dessert and was left feeling hungry. The mains are only minimally bigger than the starters. If money is not an issue I would recommend going for 2 mains minimum. That being said the taste is phenomenal! The beef (2 mini cubes) was extraordinary! Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a small inside space and a chilled outside area as part of the Flat Iron Square.

M. O.

Authentic and consistent Portuguese tapas in London Bridge. Staff very accommodating and the inside area has an open kitchen. The outside area is great and spacious.

J. L.

Delicious small plates, intimate venue in a tucked away location.

Y. A.

Such a nice dinner experience! The food was absolutely brilliant and the service was great. We arrived a bit early and they were able to accommodate us which was really nice of them. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Look forward to coming back again.

A. M.

Lovely small plates, freshest ingredients thoughtfully prepared. Some Portuguese classics and novel twists. V good fortified wines and well priced Douro. Nice space, great team.

L. B.

Great little piece of Portugal tucked away off busy Southwark Bridge Road. Had a lovely, intimate meal with my wife during a midweek evening visit. A little bit pricy but everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The heritage tomatoes were so crisp and fresh, the port dressing divine. Ribs were succulent and tasted like nothing I have ever had before. Price came to just under £100 and was worth every penny. All in, we ordered 6 plates including bread and olives, 2 G&T's, bottle of sparkling water, a large wine and a premium whisky. Proper gin and tonics btw. 9/10 would recommend.

B. S.

Everyone will find something delicious here! Traditional Portuguese sharing plates served in a bright bar as well as in cosy outdoor space. For 2 people we've ordered 5 plates and 2 deserts, which was perfect amount of food. Dishes were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We've tried : heritage tomatoes salad, courgettes with homemade requeijao cheese and delicious mint dressing, garlic prawns, grilled octopus with blistered peppers and onion and plate of the day, octopus rice. All of them full of flavour and highly recommend. The 2 desserts were also fantastic. Best version of crem brule I've ever tried, Leite Creme with strawberries and gorgeous, crunchy on the outside and moist inside almond tart with milk ice cream. Staff is very nice and efficient. The prices are quite affordable too. Total bill, including all above, 2 beers, 2 soft drinks and service charge came up to a little bit over £80. It's worth mentioning that they also do take away food and you can order home delivery vía Deliveroo. We'll definitely be back for more! ☺️

K.

First time I've heard of Bar Douro in an internet search not expecting much but how wrong was I? Really amazingly good food, mild, delicate and tasty. Very very good service and lovely drinks. Highly recommend for meeting up with friends! Perfect place for a catch up! July favourites were the prawns, octopus and the caramel mousse dessert.

C. N.

Very lovely menu with typical portuguese food. The dish that blew me away was the abade de priscos dessert. It tasted just like it does back home. Really nice environment.

K. B.

Really nice decor and style inside. Feels very authentically Portuguese. Unfortunately the food was quite underwhelming. Was excited to try the sardines, given the Portuguese are famous for them. They tasted like they weren’t fresh at all. Not nice. The king prawns were really nice, and the steak was tasty. Felt a bit like more style over substance.

P. B.

Lovely small Portuguese restaurant under the railway arches on the approach to London Bridge Station, in Flat Iron Square. The menu is tapas style and hence suited for a sharing of many plates style of eating. The platters are extremely tasty. There is an extensive wine menu of Portuguese produce. Would rate it 5 apart from the constraints caused by the location and the limited space for drinking and dining.

M. S.

The ambience is great with The Shard as a backdrop. The servings are tapas sized and overall the food was pretty good though not particularly extraordinary. On the expensive side for what it is.

D. T.

Overall an okay place to have nibbles and some wine. We were seated upstairs as we had no reservation so we missed out on the fun vibes in the main room. We ordered a selection of dishes and standouts included tomatoes and octopus and cod hash. The steak and artichoke was so-so. As with any tapas places, the bill was on the higher side.

S.

Absolutely amazing food and great wine selection!

P. A.

Really great food here at Bar Douro! Lovely quaint atmosphere with essentially all counter dining. This is the Barrafina of Portuguese food! Octopus, prawns, crab rice, quail and croquettas were all absolutely delicious, fresh, well seasoned, and interesting. Just the right size of menu too and food all prepared right in front of you. If you’re going to the Tate modern for example this is the perfect stop for lunch or dinner. 100% would and will, come back.

T. S.

Small and intimate Portuguese restaurant serving authentic flavours and dishes. The open kitchen provides entertainment and an interesting spectacle as you watch the chefs knock out beautifully simple and tasty small plates. The garlic potatoes lacked flavour and an ample coating of garlic butter but everything else was spot on. Good red wine, too.

p. s.

Loved this place. First of all because it’s cosy and lovely for a quiet dinner (no tables inside, so high chairs on a counter, ideal for 2-3 people). The food is so good quality, you can taste it. The choice is limited but everything is so good. Portions could be bigger (or have bigger versions of them) but the price is fair. What makes the bill go high is the wine, but there is no way that you come here and dont ask for a Portuguese wine. We did not have time to try Porto and other stuff, but we’ll come back. Staff were super friendly. I highly reccomend!

D. B.

Nice interiors. Takes you back to Portugal with lovely blue and white tile. Friendly and accommodating staff. Good food and wine list. Must definitely have the pastel de nata, perfection.💕

T. Z.

Spectacular food and environment. Lunch is an amazing value! Everything we ate was fresh and fantastic. Olives were delicious and bread was so good. Nice thick chewy crust but super soft inside which soaked up the slightly peppery olive oil. The salt cod fritters, smoked sausage croquettes and fried polenta starters were all very flavorful with crispy exterior and so tender inside. Everything was played beautifully. We all had the piri-piri chicken sandwich and it was awesome! Super flavorful with a slight but not overpowered kick. The pastel de natas was also a tasty finish to the lunch.

M. B.

Last April/2019 visiting London with my son we stopped here for a late lunch meal in UK. Great food prepared in front of us, fresh and tasteful. Decent wine selection. Food plates are small.

s.

This is one of my favourite Portuguese restaurants in London. It has to get five stars. I can’t think of anything better It’s a modern twist on all the Portuguese classics so don’t expect anything to look like what you expect. The bacalau was very different for example The restaurant is tiny. So only go if you’re a small group of 2 or 3 people. Especially as the seating is aimed at groups of 2 or 3 people and the small plate concept is best to share with that group size. I’d also recommend sitting at the bar and watching the chefs at work. They were chatty but not too much. Finally make sure you have the pastel de nata at the end- they’re sooooo good !

J. W.

Best meal I've had in London in a long time! So unpretentious, but with a really buzzy atmosphere, really friendly staff and DELICIOUS food and drink. Loved the croquetes, cod fritters and prawns, just to name a few dishes!

F.

Wonderful food, and excellent service here! First visit for a colleague's birthday. We had such a fantastic meal! Highly recommended.

S. R.

Very disappointing , the octopus dish was a tiny portion , rubbery and cold and 2 others were cold too. Staff were apologetic and took octopus off the bill but it was all a bit average.

J. P.

One of the best looking restaurant interiors in London at the moment. Expert cooking resulted in very tasty food. The Mon-Wed lunch deal is excellent value. Service could be a bit quicker and more attentive (needed to proactively ask for plates to be cleared/more water/bill etc), but generally had a great lunch.

R. R.

I had dinner here, at a table outside. The menu is quite limited and we had: cod fritters, sausage croquettes, the garlic potato, garlic prawns, octopus, beef cheeks, lamb, creme brûlée and pastel de nata. Overall, the food was good, the dishes that I enjoyed the most were the garlic prawns, the croquettes and the fritters but I was quite disappointed by the octopus. The service could have been better with a little bit more attention.

A. T.

Good food, helpful staff. Experienced some supply issues from Portugal post-Brexit, which meant that some of the wines we wanted were out of stock. Nice atmosphere though and a great place to meet with friends. Probably not for people who don't like fish, but that's pretty typical of Portuguese cuisine.

W. C. C.

One of the best places I eaten. Great menu, food was amazing and tasteful and wine pairing was spot on! Quite small but cosy and beautiful with the tiles.

E. M.

Excellent food, great environment. Grabbed two countertop seats (watching chefs plating up👌) as walk ins....food was a delight.

R. G.

Really friendly staff, interesting selection of dishes very well executed. We were delighted to find such delicious and well presented food. Sitting at the bar is great too; you get to watch and chat with the chefs as the plates come together.

N. B.

Great Portuguese Tapa and lovely wine. Great tastes from Portugal, shame the prices are London prices not Lisboa prices. Also cheaper to get wine by the bottle than the glass. Food was fantastic and was nice to sit at bar and watch the food being cooked

D. T.

A small cosy place serving tasty Portuguese small plages. Highlights include the tender Octopus with sweet potato. The onglet steak with confit egg is cooked well and the potato side is a nice addition.

T. M.

A taste of what a Portuguese Tasca with great portuguese classics - they cook in front of you and it's all bar like benches. It was the best cod I've tried (and I'm portuguese)! Octopus could do better with a lighter tasting side, sweet potato is nice but doesn't mix great with the strong flavor octopus.

W. F.

Amazing, fresh Portuguese food. Small, cosy restaurant with a few busy chefs cooking fresh ingredients in a small kitchen in "calm chaos". Lovely Portuguese wines and plenty of Port to choose from for after dinner. Highly recommended.

A. H.

The most authentic Portuguese dining experience I have had in a long time. The food is divine and the service received is on point. Will certainly be returning soon!

A. C. C.

Super tasty Portuguese food in small portions. Good to try 2 or 3 different dishes. Great wine too.

g. g.

Great Portuguese food near London Bridge !

A. N.

Wonderful dining experience. Beautiful interior space blending contemporaey design with traditional Portuguese-inspired tiled walls. Partaked in the two course lunch, consisting of crispy croquette and a filling pork sandwich. I can only imagine the ambiance at night...

S. G.

Lovely spot with delicious Portuguese dishes. Great presentation. Friendly staff! Very reasonable pricing. Can't wait to go back. Definitely a new favourite in London town!

B. L.

Love this little Portuguese gem!! Food is extremely well prepared and delicious!! I sat at the bar to look at how chefs dance around make their magic it was incredible. Staffs are really friendly too. The place is small so make sure you book during busy evenings. Everything on the menu is great. Really recommend.

C. C.

It’s a good replica of Portuguese tradition, reat flavors, good ambiance and good service. The wine selection is good as well the menu selection, makes any portugueses feel at home, will be a place to visit again.

C. H.

Great restuarant. Served small plates of Portuguese food at a reasonable price for the high quality served. I can't wait to go back.

c. c.

Fantastic hideaway near Borough and London Bridge. Wonderful food and wine and very good date place. It's small so would recommend booking.

K. H.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great people. Basically a little slice of Portugal in a railway arch in Southwark. Croqettas we're lovely but the octopus is outrageously good, a must try. Madeira vs port, the Madeira just wins. Chef and manager both top chaps!

M. C.

We came here for lunch and were very pleased with the food - it was super high quality and lots of nice little touches from the chef (were also able to sit at a bar and watch him make everything)! We had the octopus, garlic prawns, Piri Piri chicken and all were fabulous! Already planing out next visit to try some of the other dishes!!

S. D. J.

Superb restaurant and lovely service. Authentic Portuguese food, which is simply excellent.

l. g.

Gorgeous little Portuguese Tapas a few mins from Borough Market and London Bridge. If you can, sit at the bar so you can watch all the cooking action, and be best placed to request more drinks. We had a mix of veg, meat and fish which was all well presented and incredibly tasty. Favs was the steak and hash. Recommend trying the Port & Tonic too...well worth a visit.

A. J.

Nice little place, good for small groups, good food and wine.

R.

A great little tapas bar hidden behind flat iron square in London. The food is good, but it definitely isn’t my favourite tapas spot in london, but it is convenient if you are looking to spend a couple of hours in flat iron square to watch a game afterwards. The presentation of the croquettes were great but when we asked the waiter what he recommended, the dishes that he pointed out were a little under whelming. We did have a great afternoon but would opt to try somewhere new as opposed to re-visiting this straight away.

P. S.

The port is fantastic, the cheeseboard selection is wonderful and the quality of food is brilliant! Definitely worth visiting! All food is all made to order and is brilliant! Only downside is the seating is on stools and can be a bit uncomfortable for longer meals.. other than that- definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend the 10yr old Tawney they have!

M. D.

This place is great, the food is delicious it is quite cosy and the team is super lovely really recommend it!

R. C.

Had a lovely evening here. We tried several of the small plates and they were all very good. I'd particularly recommend the heritage tomatoes and the polenta. The service was friendly and efficient. Loved the layout and Portuguese style decor of the place too - an open kitchen and inside all the seats are bar stools. But the bar stools are the only drawback, as it's not comfortable to sit on them for too long. Would definitely recommend, and on a nice evening, it would be a lovely place to sit outside too.

M. K.

The place is very quaint and relaxed. I went on a date. Food options are limited but are all fantastic to be honest, and once you’re done eating, you realise it’s well put together. The octopus, gambriti, and butter squash were outstanding.

B. v. d. B.

Went here for Lunch, great delicious food as in portugal. Definitly try the bacelhau a bras. Service was good and the place is very nice. One big minus was the coffee: burned, expensive and not up to the portuguese standards.If they would improve that it would be a five star!

S. D. A. C.

Delicious food. Fantastic service. Friendly waiters. Red wine from Dao was amazing! Lovely place to go for a drink and a tapas size bite

H. T. d. C.

The restaurant is super pretty and you definitely get the look and feel of the Portuguese origins. The presentation and food quality was really good. The only thing we would mention is that they get the timings completely wrong we had a 25 minutes difference between each main course so while people had already finished 10 minutes ago other would not have started eating! Still good to go if you are not in a rush!

g. d. r.

Extremely nice place. Food is very good - we had some appetizers outside while waiting to be seated and then we tried 3 plates with fish - and wine is even better! Jonathan was welcoming and supporting. We finished with custard tart and fruit sorber as desserts and a glass of 10 years tawn red port. Awesome!

E. F.

I loved it. Modern and authentic Portuguese food. Lovely atmosphere with beautifully tiled walls. I had the bacalhao à bràs perfectly done. I’ll definitely come back next time.

L. H. &. D. C.

Go and drink the green wine. It’s the best outside Portugal. Really friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Good location.

V. C.

Awesome authentic Portuguese food. Good service and fair bill. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

C. C.

We were lucky to be able to walk-in to this place with no reservation for a Saturday lunch outdoors. Good food! I especially enjoyed the croquettes, but I felt they were trying to rush us a little bit with the quick clearing of dishes and serving of the tapas.

A. A.

Amazing food, probably one of the best Portuguese restaurant I went. Great selection of ports, we order the steak which was superb. friendly staff also. Highly recommend.

M. B.

Heading to Lisbon in a couple weeks. Haven’t been there since pre-covid. I just wanted a reminder of why i love Portuguese food so much. I guess it’s still a secret that Portuguese wine is amazing since it’s very hard to find in London. Don’t worry. Bar Douro has an amazing selection of Douro Valley wines and port. I recommend their Vino Verde to start.

K.

So so tasty. Went there rather late but staff were still friendly. And the food was good. Nice atmosphere. Would go there again.

e. R.

Excellent place. Nice decoration, very tasty food and good presentation. Good service as well

C. F. A.

The tapas are delicious, the wine fantastic, the waitress Vanessa was impeccable in the service, the runner just perfect, she speaks spanish but I didn't ask her name. Defo I'll be back soon

L. C.

We came to Bar Douro for a late evening meal, sat on the bar which was really nice and you get to see the chefs cooking everything. The food was so tasty, you can see they put a lot of effort into it. The service was also amazing, really attentive but not over the top! Highly recommend the garlic prawns and sardines on Sourdough.

A. C.

Absolutely gorgeous experience and food as always, plus the service was impeccable ✨ Would always recommend ⭐️

A. C.

Very delicious food and friendly staff. Personal favourites are the grilled octopus, grilled pawns and bacalhau à brás!! Had to sit outside because of covid restrictions, got a kind reminder from the restaurant few hours prior to booking that there won’t be a space heater, so we came prepared and bundled up. Still it got really chilly so we couldn’t stay long. Will definitely be back when weather is warmer.

P. H.

this was my fourth visit here and the worst! We had to send back the octupus and some of the other best sauces seemed to be nothing more than salad cream and tomato ketchup. Used to be some much better!!

L. P.

This place just feels like home! You walk in the door and it could be avozinha cooking there right then! Small but perfectly formed, delectable dishes, warm service and a sense of overwhelming happiness. Just what you need for a catch up with anyone from your sister to a colleague to him indoors! Love this place, will be back!

C. F.

Wonderful experience sitting at the counter. Lots of interesting Portuguese wines.

M. R.

Was ok. Nice terrace although we sat inside. Food was nice but not mind blowing, especially considering the price. Also, the music was completely random. It was like they just put radio 1 on in the background. Came away feeling a bit meh.

G. S.

All the food was amazing! We decided to eat inside since it was quite a cold day, its a small indoor place with very cosy decor and beautiful tiles that just bring you back to Porto. Staff was nice and friendly. Food is served in small portions, but every dish came with a wonderful presentation and all of them tasted amazing. So glad I went there and had a bit of a taste of the portuguese gastronomy. Had an amazing time. Highly recommend it

J. P.

Hands down, best Portuguese restaurant in London. I went with a group of friends and we were all collectively overwhelmed with the quality of food and the friendliness of the staff. Really cool setting and atmosphere as well. Already planning my next trip back! Highlights were the Octopus with Sweet Potato, the Wild Mushroom and definitely recommend finishing with a Pastel De Nata!

I. F. P.

Had an amazing dinner, great quality food and even better service. It was out second time here and we remembered why we loved it so much. First thing to mention is that the distancing measures were up to standard, without taking from the great vibe of the place. They have sanitising stations at hand and all the tables are outside, at a reasonable distance between them. The staff is wonderful, friendly and very prompt. I mentioned it was my partners birthday. Later hey came out with a very sweet little surprise which put a cherry on top of the lovely evening. Last but not least the food exceeded expectations as usual. I think we ordered 90% of the menu and still couldn't stop. Bar Douro has reinforced its place as one of our favourite places in London.

E. P.

Porto tonics are a must. Would have been five stars but the shrimp were overcooked.

A.

Really enjoyed the food and drinks here. Staff were very polite. Worth a visit.

I. C.

Love this place! We sat outside but heated and under cover. The food was all delicious - it is a little pricey but a nice treat. We ordered lots of dishes and wine to share and it came in under what I was expecting, and the service was great.

A. P.

Very good Portuguese food, good wine selection, the prawns were exceptional.

E. P.

The food and wine was absolutely delicious, the staff were knowledgeable and attentive and the ambience was lively. We had a lovely evening here!

B. R.

Lovely Portuguese food and great douro wines!

S. D.

We didn't book and manage to find seats for two. The place looks really good. The staff wasn't what you would expect from this place as they haven't been very helpful with the menu, they rushed to take the order and not very polite in general. Portions are very small considering the price of each dish. The food is very good though and the wine selection is decent. I would go back if they'd improved the service.

K. J. L.

Incredible food, every dish was a delight! Gorgeous local wines and port, brilliant service. Highly recommended!

G. V.

I went 3 times and I've never been disappointed. Lots of small and tasty plates well executed, good wine list and the beautiful azujelos tiles do a good a job at conveying the illusion that you are sitting in a small restaurant in Lisboa.

G. P.

Can't recommend this restaurant more highly, the food is exceptional, the Gambas, Salt Cod Fritters and obviously the Pastel De Nata are an absolute must, along with a bottle of Vinho Verde. Service was 10/10 and could not be flawed - very reasonably priced considering the amount of food we ordered. Get yourself down there.

e.

Tasty food, lovely presentation especially the croquettes which are instagram worthy served on a beautiful tile. I like how there's not too much choice on the menu, keeps it easy and no faff. The octopus was ever so slightly overcooked but delicious in taste. Overall would recommend. Only thing is its small in there, so get there quick if you want to sit indoors!

S. S.

If you haven’t tried yet, you should !!! Probably the best food I have ever eaten .

S. E.

Not THAT pricey considering the location. Not too crowded, friendly staff, solid (albeit simple) cocktails 🙌🏼🥂🍹🍸

C. V.

Could not praise this restaurant enough. Yesterday, I went there for dinner, I was absolutely starving but thankfully the service was very quick. If you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs cook your food right in front of you! All food was cooked to perfection and I love that they switch up the menu. The wine selection is also very very good. This restaurant is perfect to indulge in Portuguese food, I highly recommend!!

T. R.

Really nice setting and friendly staff add to some tasty food. The octopus felt like it could have been fresher but everything else was spot on: the garlic prawns and the sauce they came in were outrageous, so much flavour with big juicy prawns. We spent most of our time once they were finished using the salt cod hash (also excellent) to mop up the remains. We also lucked out with a special of melt-in-the-mouth pork cheeks, but I was still besotted with those prawns.. Worth mentioning, they have Super Bock on tap if you're missing a glass of proper Portuguese beer.

L. B.

We had a great meal here on Saturday afternoon. Really tasty food and great vinho verde to match. Definitely a place where we will come back to in the future.

B. A. M.

It's simple top-notch! The cookers are preparing the plates in front of the guests (sometimes you can loose the sense of the time looking at them) Don't expect impressive party tricks, the chefs cook as if they where relaxed at their own houses (what I appreciate much more) The flavours are superb!! It's better if you book in advance. They recently open a new restaurant in the City what I'm going to visit soon ;-) Enjoyyyyy!!

A. T.

Lovely little gem just off the hustle and bustle of the City and Borough Market. Great selection of wines, super helpful staff. Small plates to share. Definitely try the croquettes. When the weather allows, there are some seats outside. As the place is tiny, booking in advance is highly recommended.

R. M.

A small place just for snacks rather than proper meals. What was nice was that these were made right in front of us whilst you wait and drink. And the chef was calm and making conversation with us as well. Friendly staff and quick service. Would definitely recommend it.

N. M.

Fantastic food - really interesting menu and high quality. Particularly impressive were the smoked chorizo croquettes! Wine is lovely (although we thought the house was perfectly good and not worth spending £9.50 on the more expensive by-the-glass one). I suspect for wine experts there is a lot here to think about - a huge wine list. Really good vibe, great fun watching the chefs work (but you could sit by the window if you wanted to instead) and really attentive staff - especially Patricia who was looking after us. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Y. T.

Great to finally have some where to go for some Portuguese small plate food!

S. W.

The food was okay and it is a nice space. But a few things were off. The server took my drink away even though I had not finished with it, and I asked for it back. We were sat at the bar and the chef made a further sarcastic comment about this, which I thought was odd. And he asked a few weird questions too (not related to our food). Overall this did ruin the vibe a bit.

M. B.

Beautiful place with authentic and delicate dishes. Octupus is benchmark and one Bar Douro passes with ease

C. C.

Excellent food and not unreasonable prices, do a great option if you're keen to share some rapid dishes with friends. There were definitely some better and worse dishes but everybody left fairly full due to the rich food. Annoyingly our first three choices of wine were out of stock (what are the chances!?! Or was it just bad planning on their part) so didn't enjoy that part quite so much sadly. Service was a bit flakey at times so that's why it didn't get the 5th star, but it's probably a 4.5 rating (if I look past my unlucky choices)

P. C.

Best Bacalhau à Brás I ever had (excluding my mom's one 😁). Very good value for money, great service. Small place but the food is full of flavour and made with fresh ingredients. It's my new favourite Portuguese place in London.

n. s.

Had a really nice lunch here. if you sit by the bar you can even see how your food is being done and have a chat with the chef. Prices are reasonable, the stuff is friendly and there is a good atmosphere in the place. Probably less suitable for group as the place does not contain big tables

R. F.

My real reason for stopping here was the octopus. I LOVED IT. I should have gotten two orders of this. It was perfectly tender, flavorful and the two different types of sweet potato complimented it so well. It's a very small dining venue and seems to book up, so if you aren't flexible, get a reservation ASAP.

E.

Lovely food, polite staff and reasonable prices. Plenty of outdoor tables too ( for when we get some sun in London ) !

N. D.

Bar Douro is an exceptional place. First off the environment is just right. It feels like a restaurant in Portugal with its charm and understated class, as well as delivering a modern London dining experience that is informal, fun and based on sharing plates of the highest quality. I can’t recall exactly the dishes I ate but each one was put together with the freshest ingredients, expert technique and Mediterranean flair. The wine list is also excellent and provides plenty of underrated Portuguese options. If I was you I’d opt for a seat at the bar. Typical of an open kitchen, sitting at the bar heightens the sense of theatre and allows you to see the chefs creating the dishes. Definitely check out Bar Douro if in the area; or simply make a plan to visit this gem.

J.

Had lunch there with a friend. The food was lovely, I had plenty of Portuguese friends growing up and know how it should taste. I was not disappointed. The staff were so nice as well. I really liked this restaurant.

D. P.

I’ve been looking forward to frequenting Bar Douro ever since it opened but was slightly disappointed when I finally got around to it. The staff were excellent and the atmosphere and decor is great but somehow the food didn’t live up to expectations. I was really looking forward to the sardines but in my opinion they were over cooked and some of the other dishes weren’t executed as well as they could’ve been. I might have hit it on a bad night so I’ll probably go back to give them a second chance as it’s close to being excellent.

R. L.

I have been to Douro over 5 times now and it never disappoints. The food is always good, and so is the wine. I particularly like any dish with octupus and prawns they might include in the menu, but their pork-based dishes are also very tasty.

T. W.

Delishious tapa like dishes prepared just in front of you

M. R.

For me between a 3 and 4, but gave a 3 as 4.5 (the average at the time of writing) is definitely an exaggeration. Nice little place with a charming atmosphere and not too loud. Has some tables at the bar where you can watch the chefs which I love. Food is Portuguese tapas I would say, menu has good choices and not too long. The dishes itself were a bit hit and miss Hit: the croquetes (croquettes) and the pumpkin especially which tasted innovative and lovely Miss: the mussels (strange combo) and octopus (didn’t at all look like the pic on the website, bur gather thrown together and was pretty bland) Average: sardines and potatoes Oh and wine (white) was excellent! May go back to have some nibbles or just for some wine, but definitely room for improvement for the chefs! Felt like one of those places that has one great chef who has created a good menu but the other chefs don’t take it as seriously maybe?! Anyway waiters were nice and otherwise cute place

J. W.

I love this cozy little restaurant with authentic portuguese food. It is fun to watch the chef cooking behind the bar and the lunch menu is fantastic value. Made sure you book or arrive early to get a place - it is tiny and crowded

E. E.

One of my favourite restaurants in London! Incredible Portuguese small plates and brilliant wine to match, all in one of the prettiest rooms I've ever been in. Highly recommend the Salt Cod Hash, the Prego no Prato and Garlic Prawns!

J. L.

Great place, great service, great food, great wine, what's not to like

P. C.

Went on one of their special guest chief nights. Was a great experience and the food and wine surpassed expectations. Service was friendly and attentive but not overly so... left us to be and to enjoy but there when needed to be - perfect! We couldn't fault the evening. Thank you Bar Douro... if we are in the area again will definitely come back.

J. S.

My boyfriend is Portuguese and I had never tried Portuguese food before. Went there for a dinner and it was amazing. Food was great and everything tasted fresh!! Servers were friendly and service was quick! Highly recommend!!

T. L.

Decent place if want to try and impress on a first date or something. Basic menu that's adequately executed but slightly overpriced for the quality and simplicity offered. Only negative was the lack of selecting non alcoholic drinks. Basically tonic or water. Staff are friendly and engaging, is a typical London venue recreating what would otherwise be a more straightforward and simple in its native country.

o. d.

I saw this restaurant on instagram and had to go try it because it looked to bloody cute. When I got there sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. The Chef looked chill going about his business. Relaxing environment. We ordered loads of food - some recommended by the lovely staff. The recipes are primo - its not basic ingredients/ However i was a bit disappointed with the flavours. I am a big fan of croquetas and i didnt love these ones - wasnt creamy enough. The baccalau was really heavy. we had a large plate and struggled a lot to eat it - too many potatoes and too much oil and not enough fish unfortunately. I wont be returning for food but could go back for a drink - the location is pretty cool as it overlooks the Flat Iron Square!

A. J.

Maybe 4.5 stars even. Tiny place and busy, but surprisingly doesn't feel too crowded. Food ran from excellent to good. Try the bacalhau and the natas ( though not on the same plate) Service fairly good; friendly and helpful. Portuguese wines made an interesting change. Seating at bar facing kitchen or against the window so not too good for groups of four or more from a conversation point of view.

L. N.

Very impressed by the wine and the charcuterie&cheese board! The other hot dishes were average

P. Q.

Our favourite restaurant in London. Great quality food and delicious wine. Interesting setting too.

E. M.

Have visited multiple times and will continue to do so! Great food, amazing service and a fantastic selection of wine on order. Thanks to Sol and Jonothan for always going above and beyond and making the experience so great :) Perfect location to catch up with friends or for date night, the best seat is on the bar by the kitchen - mesmerising watching the chefs do their magic!

g. R.

This restaurant is really lovely. We had 4 glasses of wine, 5 dishes and two deserts, which came to under £90 and were very filling. The food fabulous and the service is excellent. Cannot recommend enough.

M. H.

Totally lovely. Cute little under the arches place, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great simple tapas dishes. Encouraged me to order in Portuguese (sounded very English!).

P. G.

Nice decor in a lively location and friendly staff. The food in my opinion could’ve been better. The flavours were very mild and some combinations on the dishes didn’t work for me - eg. the egg yolk dessert would have been better with other flavours than the lemon sorbet, the feijoada was undercooked and too mild, the white mush under the turnip tops didn’t have much taste. I don’t know if we didn’t order the best dishes but in my opinion the food was okay and I’m rating it 3 stars because I found it quite pricey for what it is.

h.

Popped into Bar Douro for some nibbles. Bar Douro is a hidden gem tapas bar in Flatiron Sq. London Bridge all small plates, quite pricey BUT I will be going back to try the Garlic prawns and have another Pastel de nata, it's too good to share. Props to the Head Chef @neuzaleal14 Totally recommend getting the Pastel de nata Custard tart & cinnamon ice cream (v) - £4.50

C. C.

I stayed in a twin room and a larger twin room. The larger room was not made for anyone taller than a gnome, but it had character. The staff were very he,Paul, when I complained about the fridge like conditions in the bathroom and brought a radiator straight away.The food taste great and isn't too expensive, so you can treat your son/daughter to a delicious meal.

L. O.

Visited early evening for a glass or two of wine with a small plate. We sat outside as all the seating us on bar stools and I have a bad back. They have wall heaters so it was brilliant. There us a small choice if wines but they have been carefully selected to reflect the different regions of Portugal. I would recommend the Lagoalva red from the Trejo region and the Churchill’s red from the Douro. The wines are not cheap but this is London! The pataniscas were perfect as was the chourico. I was not so impressed with the presunto ( air dried ham) which was rather dry and dull. Very friendly reception as you would expect from the Portuguese!

N. P.

I've been here tonight and my rating is 3 because there's room for improvement. The best thing of this place is the service. Immaculate. The food is pretty average and far below of what you'd find in any Portuguese restaurant of Stockwell. Codfish a Braz was done with very uninteresting crisps you buy at a supermarket and custard tart seemed microwaved. The portions are incredibly small and too expensive for what they are. The place has a good vibe but I'll think twice before going back.

L. M.

A group of us went for lunch at the new Broadgate site today and we all walked out raving. Service, food, wine all excelled our expectations and easy to do an in-and-out 1(ish) hour lunch. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

G. J.

Nice place to have lunch. Nice vibe, good authentic food.

A.

Very nice and flavorful octopus. However portion could be bigger.

N. T.

This was the fourth time I've been to Bar Douro but first review. The food, as always, was superb, perfectly coupled with wine and port. The restaurant has beautiful Portuguese decorations and the service was extremely attentive. Highly recommended

M. T.

Not entirely Portuguese food, but the restaurant gives very good value. Good wine menu. Service is a bit chaotic and the chef uses salt too much.

K. W.

Beautiful Portuguese tapas. The menu choice is quite small but that means that the options available will all be of the highest quality, prepared well and cooked to perfection. The slightly charred chorizo was superb and the steak onglet with confit egg was stunning. Even the bread and olive oil was some of the best I've had. The pastel de nata with cinnamon ice cream was out of this world. I'd probably say that the pastel de nata was on par with Pastéis De Belém, where they originated in Portugal. I didn't try the wine but the tasting flight of 3 Portuguese wines looked great. Highly recommended and I would definitely return.

C. G.

Restaurant is very quirky, intimate for dates or small groups, extensive list of wine, cheapest starting at £35. The food is okay, quite expensive and felt we were trying to be upselled by staff members. Overall pleasant place to eat.

A. M.

Beautifully prepared authentic Portuguese food. We have been to Lisbon recently and nothing there was as good as this. The saddle of lamb will live in the memory for a good while.

A. V.

Food was beautiful and the waitress, Vanessa, was very kind and attentive. Definely, we will come back!!

A. N.

The food is just amazing here. Especially the cod fritters and crab arroz was amazing. The chef and the waitress are friendly too. My 3rd time here and always enjoyed !

C. F.

This place is absolutely amazing, a little off the beaten track but what a gem. The staff are lovely and attentive and the food is amazing. We tried 6 different dishes and each were as delicious as the last! we will be coming back 100%

L. B.

Amazing food. Excellent service. Absolutely loved it.

S. R.

Nice tapas. I had the sausage croquettes and they were proper tasty. The white port was a bit bitter. Nice authentic Porto style restaurant, with blu tiled friezes.

J. K.

Very classy. Great food, especially the Octopus, Quail and the Roast Squash. I had the Churchill Estate red wine, which was a really good example of why the Duoro is my favourite wine region.

M.

Had a wonderful three hours eating and drinking wonderful food and wine at this place. I highly recomend sitting at the bar where you can watch the chefs at work and if it's not super busy they are happy to chat about the food and the preparation (but this does make you want to try everything you can see them make!). Staff are friendly and atmosphere is vibrant.

A. T.

We were running a few minutes late walking to the place (partly because there had been a dramatic police arrest next to Borough Market which kept us in The Rake craft beer bar) and a member of staff phoned to check we were coming.Incredibly friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere and a delicious selection of food. Additionally, if you choose to sit outside you get a brilliant view of the Shard (especially at night when it is lit up).

R. R.

Eduardo is our best waiter, Spanish speaking... Food amazing we tried everything! Best, Rocio

C. D.

Little gem hidden behind the street food vans in Flat Iron Square. Tiny interior with space to perch at the bar with a few tables by the window. The food and wine were faultless, even though I was with a group of food experts. Quiet at lunchtime but the staff weren't in a rush to close between lunch and dinner and we had great service.

S. T.

Delicious food. Just great. Wine good as well

M. P.

Nice place with a bit of a traditional Portuguese look. Great food with some quite authentic Portuguese taste all over it and congrats to Chef Rui who’s got some impressive skills to run the kitchen.

J.

Very atmospheric tapas bar with very good wine list and delicious tapas. Would recommend for a light wine evening with friends to enjoy a life music (if lucky sometimes there is a concert opposite) and snacks, not good if you are hungry.

M. R.

We loved this place. The food was amazing (we asked some dishes to share and we did appreciate the fish ones), the wine (Susana) was tasteful and the staff helpful and kind. We do suggest this place.

T. C.

slightly pricy but hey its delicious

C. M.

This Portuguese restaurant is a gem. Good food with reasonable price. Not too far from London Bridge on foot (5 mins or so) and sits in the area of many bars and restaurants. But better book in advance as it is rather a small place.

E.

We tried to visit this place at least twice before being successful as is very small and I think they don't take bookings, so it was until a Sunday afternoon we were able to go. Dishes are great and their pastel de nata is very good. Only upside down is the siting which is not very comfortable and not good for groups of three or more, probably good place for first or second date.

B. P.

Small wine bar and small plates from Portugal. The service is friendly and the food is excellent! Don't order food you would find at other Portuguese restaurants as the real gems are the other dishes.

S.

This used to be really really good, but the last visit the food was underwhelming. The decor and service are still great but the actual food isn't the same anymore. Used to be a 5 star for me. Will go back in a few months and see if my favourite flavours are back.

R. L.

Great food, the place is quite small but the foods is absolutely amazing. Maybe don't go there with big group of friends but for more of an intimate occasion. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it.

N. T.

Bar douro is a Portuguese tapas restaurant, food is to share, medium portions, it is better to order 2-3 dishes each to have one of the best possible dining experience you'll have in London at a decent price, definitely to recommendable dish : Gambas a Guilho, you'll never forget about them

W.

Absolutely perfect so far. Never disappoints me.

M. H.

Food was phenomenal + the wine selection was one of the best I've had this year.

D. D.

Quaint restaurant in the heart of the southbank, hidden in the shadow of the shard. Delicate Portuguese cuisine on offer which is far from the stereotypical nandos... Crisp Churchill's Estate Douro wine, from the region which the establishment takes its name is light on the palette with a fruity finish, definitely worth a visit for that alone. Overall a great find, perfect for a casual afternoon in the sun.

P. D.

Authentic, delicious, fun, charming and afantastic spot to eat. Get the Bifana and finish your meal with a pastel de nata. Utterly delicious from start to finish.

M. M.

Amazing food, staff and wine. Great chatty chefs if you are sat at the bar too! Highly recommended! Thank you for a lovely lunch.

C. C.

Beautiful food and wine selection. Try the vinho verde - a type of wine exclusive to Portugal, very fresh and perfect for summer days!

M. H.

Great Portuguese tapas style meal. Good to sit at the bar and watch the chefs. Owned by a Port producer, so good quality wine.

K. j.

Great food and service. One thing it's tapas size dishes and they were brought out very quickly. So it meant trying to eat quickly they went cold

J. M. O. G.

Amazing food and drinks in a cozy bar.

S. G.

One of the best meals I’ve had in London. 1) Order one of everything on the menu 2) Accompany with a bottle of green wine 3) Orgasm

T. M.

Wow! Stellar service and fantastic Portuguese cuisine. If you're looking for a great lunchtime meal with aperitifs and digestifs, Douro is nothing short of fantastic.

A. S.

We loved this place. Typical Portuguese food with a twist. Friendly staff, beautiful restaurant, unexpected dishes. We can't wait to go back!

D. H.

Great little wine bar with a bustling atmosphere. Stopped by for a few glasses of Vinho Verde and some starters. Fantastic staff and location.

j. h.

Tasty food. Service was a bit slow, even though I didn't order much. Bit pricey, 24£ for one glass of wine and 2 plates (one of them a small starter).

J. A.

It's a great sample of modern Portuguese. Tasty food with a modern twist. Lunch menu is very reasonable and good selection of Portuguese wines

O. O.

Excellent Portuguese restaurant with tapas like food. The kitchen is in front of the bar and the chef really sympathetic. Food is good and towards modern Portuguese cuisine.

D. B.

Went on an unusually busy night. The servers were friendly but the service was slow and one of our dishes were forgotten. The food was really good - especially the croquetes de alheira and the octopus.

R. C.

Good gourmet food and top service. Plus one of the staff speak 3 languages (English, Portuguese and French). High recommend for a quick bite or sharing food with friends

L. E.

Unbelievably good food that I couldn’t fault, and a really fun atmosphere. The service was excellent too. I’ll definitely be returning with friends.

F. A.

Food was amazing and love the setting, sitting at the bar was great, seeing the food being prepared. The staff were also lovely.

G. B.

Been here twice, really enjoyed atmosphere and food. Service was friendly but not pushy. Some small variability on dish quality but nothing substandard.

H. R.

Food is always great here! Bacalhau a bras (like a potato hash with salted cod) is always a favourite...

A.

Really great food and lovely friendly service definitely try it out! We loved the piri piri chicken, prawns and desserts were fab too. Highly recommend!

R. S.

The best food and dessert I had in a long time. A lovely little gem, beautifully furnished. Not the cheapest but it's worth it.

J. S.

Superb Portuguese tapas. Would recommend Bacalhau à Brás Salt (salt cod and potato hash) and the octopus with sweet potato.

J. W.

Yum yum yum croquettes in my tum. Best Portuguese restaurant in London and a banging place for wines. #loooooove the decor.

J. D.

The food was great but the portions are absolutely too small for the price. The bar seating is a bit tricky with groups but good for couples/duos.

J. C.

The food is ok and you're more than likely paying for the location. There's nothing on the menu to write home about but at the same time there isn't anything bad.

A. H.

Fantastic food and wine. Great advice on wine and port from staff. Would thoroughly recommend

j. G.

Top quality food and excellent service.. will return to try other dishes and more of the their stupendous wines

S. W.

Lovely tapas bar with yummy Portuguese food with a twist and more finesse. Those "Pataniscas" are to die for. And the Artichoke salad with "Requeijão"... OMG! Beautiful!

A. d. S.

Amazing place, full of character with very friendly staff. One of the best places to have "petiscos" (Portuguese Tapas) and very good wines.

P. N. S.

Excellent quality dishes, most of them an original twist on traditional Portuguese dishes. Baba de camelo (dessert) is a must have!

G. B.

We had such a good time!!! Great food, very talented sous-chef lady and Franck is a delightful host

N.

Expensive for the amount of food. Snacks were the highlights, everything else was mediocre. Service was good

D. R.

Great place, offers amazing food, some of them with a twist (not 100% Portuguese) but surprisingly good! Portuguese people will feel at home 🇵🇹

S. C.

Great seafood! Helpful & kind service. A fun setting in Flat Iron Sq early evening on a Friday....can get v busy but quitens down after rush hour!

K. S.

Great for a nice portuguese lunch - sit at the bar if you'd like to chat to the cooks - I am portuguese and it was nice to chat in portuguese with them while enjoying the food

F. M.

Excellent! Is the first world coming from my brain when I'm thinking of this restaurant. Good food and wine that you can share with your friends or your lover.

Lovely Portuguese food at reasonable prices. Very good Covid hygiene too.

(Translated) Very nice place and good. Staff could not be more welcoming and warm. Very good food tapas that have only one flaw, that of being too good! Very nice place, under the train line (which no longer seem to circulate, so very quiet!). Everything is very well cooked and excellent. (Original) Endroit très sympa et bon. Personnel on ne peut plus accueillant et chaleureux. Très bonne cuisine de tapas qui n’ont qu’un seul défaut, celui d’être trop bons !!! Lieu très sympa, sous la ligne de train (qui n’ont plus l’air de circuler, donc très calme !!!). Tout est très bien cuisiné et excellent.

(Translated) The location is really beautiful and the atmosphere was very welcoming and open. In general, we had fun the evening, but the portions were very small, even by London standards. (Original) Die Location ist wirklich wunderschön und auch die Atmosphäre war sehr einladend und offen. Generell hat uns der Abend Spaß gemacht, aber die Portionen waren schon sehr klein, auch für Londoner Verhältnisse.

(Translated) I ordered a 3 course meal, the appetizer is too small, the main dish is a bit like fried noodles with eggs, not very Portuguese, but it's OK, it's not unpalatable. (Original) 点了一份3 course meal，前菜也太小了吧，主菜有点像鸡蛋炒面，没太吃出来葡萄牙风味，不过也算可以了，不难吃。
