Bar Douro London Bridge in Southwark

En general, muy buena comida. En particular, las gambas al ajo son increíbles, si prueba este lugar, asegúrese de ordenar las gambas! Y también un grito para el hachís de bacalao salado, muy buena comida. La selección de vinos también es muy buena , y el restaurante tiene un ambiente muy agradable con asientos «En el mostrador». Otro punto álgido fue el pastelito Pasteis de Nata simple pero tan efectivo para el desierto, con un encantador helado de canela. Una vez más, un must try. La única desventaja importante para mí, y la razón por la que no tiene 5 estrellas, es que uno de los platos que pedimos fue el arroz de pato y chorizo. Simplemente no funciona. Sabor muy limitado y poco de qué gritar, llegaría a decir que es soso. El restaurante tiene que reconsiderar este plato. No se hizo ninguna queja ya que admiro el intento de creatividad pero no funciona.

Si te gusta Portugal, ven aquí, es muy auténtico, buena variedad de platos de tapas con una gran carta de vinos portugueses. Si no te gusta Portugal te sugiero que pruebes en otro sitio. Personalmente me encantó cada parte.

Visité este restaurante para un almuerzo tardío, así que no estaba muy ocupado. El menú ofrece diferentes tipos de "tapas", algunas de las cuales muy típicamente portuguesas. Hay un montón de opciones, para todos los gustos, pero hay mucho margen de mejora tanto para el servicio, las cantidades y la calidad también. Pedimos unos 2 - 3 platos cada uno y no había bebidas (éramos tres de nosotros, así que definitivamente nada abrumador) pero uno de ellos fue olvidado, a pesar de haber sido llamado por el camarero al pedir. No es un problema, estas cosas pasan, pero como esperamos mucho tiempo incluso después de marcar que nos faltaba una porción (después de ya esperar a ver si la traían) , hubiéramos esperado una disculpa o alguna forma de gesto (un café, un postre, o una bebida, cualquier cosa en realidad) . Terminamos llegando tarde, así que ni siquiera lo habríamos aprovechado, pero es cortesía común. Nadie vino a vernos, ni antes ni después del pedido perdido y finalmente tuvimos que entrar al restaurante -estuvimos sentados afuera- para pagar la cuenta. Las porciones de comida fueron variables. La "selección de queso" eran tres trozos de queso ridículos que parecía que acababan de salir de una cantina (ver foto) y apenas se veía pulpo en su "salada el polvo". Las "pataniscas de bacalao" eran muy sabrosas y bastante llenas. El "arroz de pato malandrinho" era en cambio una porción más grande (y un artículo más caro), pero no disfrutamos particularmente de su sabor. Siento que en general no fue una buena relación calidad-precio y toda la experiencia - a pesar de amar la zona exterior para un día soleado y cálido - no fue particularmente agradable, ni desde un punto de vista de servicio, ni de la comida. Yo no lo evitaría en el futuro, pero yo personalmente definitivamente buscaría en otro lugar primero. (También publiqué esta reseña en otros sitios web)

Tuve un almuerzo encantador aquí ayer antes de una actuación en la fábrica de chocolate Menier justo al lado. La comida fue descrita como “platos pequeños”, aunque son porciones generosas de tapas. La comida era generalmente muy sabrosa. Elegí tres platos. Empecé con la polenta con salsa de pimiento fermentado. La porción era generosa (5 cubos grandes de polenta que fácilmente habría servido dos) y la salsa de pimiento rojo era sabrosa. Sin embargo, no había suficiente salsa para sumergir la polenta. Necesitaba al menos el doble de salsa, ya que la polenta por sí sola es bastante sosa. Seguí esto con las croquetas de salchicha y el hachís de bacalao salado. Una vez más, ambas porciones fueron generosas y estas fueron muy agradables. Las croquetas tenían un sabor muy ahumado, mientras que el hachís era más sutil, pero tan morisco. No estoy seguro de si el cuerpo del hachís era a base de patatas o fideos -basado (o una mezcla de ambos-, ¿tal vez el restaurante podría responder y hacérmelo saber? ) , pero creo que contenía azafrán y era muy fácil de seguir comiendo! Mi factura fue de unas 38 libras, incluyendo una copa de vino. Me gustó mucho y, al volver al Menier, este será sin duda mi restaurante preferido. Lo recomendaría.

Tuvimos un gran tiempo aquí, buena comida y servicio. El menú ofrece tapas y platos más grandes, y cada plato era realmente sabroso. Interesante selección de vino portugués también, probamos algunas bellezas. El joven que nos atendió fue amable y divertido. El Bar Duero está escondido justo al lado del mercado de Borough, sus mesas exteriores con vistas cercanas al fragmento. En el interior, todo es asientos de mostrador, los azulejos azulejos y taburetes rústicos y suelos, que te transportan directamente a Portugal! Me encantó.

Deliciosa comida portuguesa, em um beco meio escondido atrás da Tate Modern. Bom atendimento. A proposta é pedir diferentes pratos e compartilhar.

Popped in for supper before theatre - really friendly & helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere, with everyone enjoying the sunshine. Delicious food - can highly recommend the courgette & requijao, salada de polvo & milho frito.

Petit restaurant portugais situé dans une cour parmi d’autres. Avons pu profiter de la terrasse table en forme de tonneaux. Tapas à partager très goûteux, variés. Le concept est original et sympathique. Nous étions un groupe d’amies et avons bien apprécié cette diversité de tapas. Certes ceci ne conviendrait peut être pas à des gros mangeurs. L’accueil est chaleureux. Restaurant qui sort des sentiers battus.

A fashionable, super-popular bistro close to London's financial district. Therefore I expected that the food prices would reflect the location and indeed they do. But the food tends to be excellent. I had cod croquettes (£8) with a Hake & Squid Caldeirada ( a sort of stew) (£17) to follow with a surprisingly excellent vegetable dish new to me, hot Cabbage & Soubise (£8) and finished with an Almond Tart (£8). Two glasses of an excellent red Douro guest wine cost £27.50, so I guess this is where the bistro makes its main income - on the drinks. An expresso was £3.75 and a 12.5% service charge was added to the bill bringing the total to over £81 (I paid, but this is a discretionary charge, so not mandatory). The price, considering the portions were adequate but not generous, is more than I'd normally want to pay, but if you like really good Portuguese fare and quality wines and an atmosphere with a bit of a buzz, this might be the place for you.

Bar-restaurante portugues en el Bankside. No tiene mesas, es todo barra, pero es muy acogedor. Decoracion de estilo portuguès, cocina a la vista y buen servicio. Pedimos un surtido de tapas para compartir y todo nos gusto. Sitio recomendable para una comida informal.

Delightful, authentic Portugese restaurant, extensive Portuguese wine list and small plate menu was delicious. With casual counter seating arrangements and an open kitchen the staff were helpful and attentive. A cabbage dish was sublime, tasty croquettes, full flavoured garlic potatoes, succulent prawns and an unusual , salted cod hash. Will definitely visit again when in London.

The traditional Portuguese sharing plates served at Bar Douro are worth trying. This is one of our 'must go to' restaurants every time we visit London. The food is excellent. We have never had a bad meal at Bar Douro and we have been going there at least 4 to 5 times a year for several years.

Fabulous food and service, can’t recommend enough! Our waiter Oliver was knowledgeable and attentive supported by Anna. The food was freshly prepared and the knowledge of the food and wine was second to none. You must visit!

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.

Lovely venue under the railway arches. Had a space upstairs as we were a larger group with the set shared menu. Really nice friendly welcome and the service was good. Food was amazing and plentiful.

I was looking for this place for quite some time until I finally went there with some business mates. I'm not a novice in the Portuguese food realm and I can understand why some Portuguese don't like it. It lacks the exaggerated portions served on overflowing platters, the excessively salty food, the boring protein, rice and potatoes that seem to be the only thing they know how to serve in the most basic restaurants. Here we have food served in civilised quantities, very well prepared and seasoned and with a touch of modernity that becomes refreshing. Well done gentlemen, you've a new regular customer.

We had a lovely meal. Portion sizes were adequate and we ate every morsel. All the dishes we tried were delicious. Good selection of wines. Overall it was great but a bit overpriced especially if you have been to Portugal or other Portuguese restaurants in London (obvs not as fancy) but know the prices.

Food good, buzzing vibe, good service, we sat outside and under cover. Really like the inside of the restaurant. Food was nicely presented and the wine was good. Dishes were tasty. This is a pricey place really so it's going to be an expensive treat kind of place rather than somewhere I would go to frequently. I have been to a few excellent tapas places so this is why I'd rate this good. Putting down an average rating would be too harsh based on our recent experience.

I totally agree with another user from Portugal (Ligia), this is not traditional Portuguese food!! I come from an extensive Portuguese family and this is the most overpriced and disappointing meal I’ve had in a long time. Most dishes were bland and small for the price. The Milho didn’t taste anything close to what it should. The bacalhau a bras had barely any cod on it. If you are a real Portuguese food lover or want to try it first time, go to the Lambeth area where you can find many good restaurants to kill your saudades!

Wonderful Portuguese “tapas” - small and larger plates of really tasty food. Tucked away in Flat Iron Square and with indoor and outdoor seating. Worth booking. Really good Portuguese wine list too

Lovely traditional Portuguese food with excellent wine and service. Been several times and will definitely return.

Excellent food, lovely ambience, amazing service. My favourites were the mackerel and secreto do pork. Very good white wine at reasonable price. We will come back!

I was so disappointed with this restaurant! I read really good reviews and was looking forward to celebrate my bithday with 2 friends, however I found the food bland and lacking the true essence of portuguese food! I'm portuguese and I can tell you that they don't serve authentic Portuguese food! The bread was served with an olive oil dip, in Portugal we serve bread with olives, butter and a fish paté. Apart from the salt cod fritters and the smoked portuguese sausage the rest of the food was tasteless! The portions were very small for the price. The drinks and service were ok, but we left before ordering dessert, because we saw Pastel de Nata being served with ice cream!!!

Exzellent… Tolle frisch zubereitete Tapas… Alles super lecker… Sehr freundliche Bedienung… Immer wieder gerne…

Best to make a reservation for this very popular restaurant, as there is always a queue of people waiting to get in. The sharing plates are quite generous, so select around 4-5 for two people. There were some lovely and slightly different options on the...

We were looking for Portuguese food close to where we live, and were lucky enough to discover Bar Douro in Southwark. The place itself is a tiny tiled haven just off Southwark St. We had seating at the bar, which meant we could see dishes...

We love Bar Douro. Great food wonderfully and thoughtfully prepared by the amazing chef, Christian who was very naughty and successfully tempted us to indulge in a dessert despite not having any real room for it. Complimented by the 80's soundtrack, it was a great...

Amazing Little Bar …. Lovely staff, excellent food and great wines. We’ll be back next time we’re in London. Wonderful custard tarts !!

Delighted to have found this gem. Super friendly staff, really delicious small plates - especially loved the vegetarian ones. Took advantage of Sunday night wine list at retail prices and the 18.50 Douro was a lovely light red. We ate too much to fit in...

Great food, delicious wine and beautiful presentation! Bar Douro in London Bridge is a hidden gem. If you love Portuguese food and wine, look no further!

Highly recommend reservations as the restaurant is small. They have done a great job creating the ambiance of Portugal. If you love seafood you will enjoy this gem!
