Bar Douro London Bridge

A firm favourite, and delivers every time. If you're a foodie you'll love, the tapas style Portuguese food is just delicious and if you love your wine it always offers such new delightful wines that are new to most (I think!). I'm sure it won't disappoint. Staff are wonderful and provides a great go to with the bar style dining. If you're looking for that informal style yet luxury food that you can't help enjoy, then it's a hit.

The menu seems limited but the food was great, the wine too! Lovely indoor and outdoor seating, although it could get a bit crowded during busy hours. Staff were friendly with service and helpful with explaining the menu to first-timers. Would revisit for sure!

During my visit to a charming establishment nestled beneath the arches near London Bridge, I discovered a culinary gem that exudes traditional Portuguese charm. This small space, adorned with exquisite azulejo decor, features an open kitchen where skilled chefs work their magic, accompanied by a seating counter that provides a front-row view of the culinary artistry. Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find a unique barrel table with two cozy seats, setting the tone for a warm and inviting dining experience. The staff, exuding friendliness and expertise, immediately put me at ease. To accompany the ambience, I indulged in a 33cl bottle of Superbock beer, satisfying my craving for a taste of Portugal. The menu presented a delightful array of Portuguese delicacies, and I embarked on a culinary journey that began with the Salada de polvo. This dish featured tender slices of boiled octopus, expertly paired with finely diced pickled onions and peppers, bathed in a delectable combination of vinegar and olive oil. The Pão com azeite, a hearty wholemeal sourdough bread, was accompanied by a smooth olive oil for dipping, providing a satisfying prelude to the main course. I then savored the Bacalhau à Brás, which showcased thin, grated, and perfectly creamy fried potatoes with a delightful crunch. While I enjoyed the dish, I personally longed for a higher ratio of cod to elevate the flavor profile. The salted cod itself was satisfactory but did not offer anything extraordinary. The grand finale of my meal was the Abade de priscos, a dessert that truly stood out. This rich egg yolk pudding, exhibiting robust flavors and a subtle sweetness, was expertly prepared and complemented by a high-quality lemon sorbet and a delectable crumble. It was a delightful symphony of tastes and textures, making it an excellent choice to conclude the dining experience. Overall, my visit to this establishment left a lasting impression. It undoubtedly ranks among the best Portuguese restaurants I have had the pleasure of experiencing in the UK. The combination of authentic flavors, warm ambiance, and friendly staff made for a memorable dining adventure under the train arches near London Bridge.
