Estrela Bar in Lambeth

We visited this place just for coffee and (delicious) Portuguese custard tarts. But it was obvious from what the other diners were eating that they offer a huge range of delicious food, including lots of fish dishes. Pleasant seating both inside and on the terrace outside.

Stumbled on this wonderful Portuguese restaurant when we were visiting a gallery on the same road. The food was incredible, fresh, delicious, great choice, good value, friendly staff offering great service. We had a fresh Dourada fish, Chicken Piri Piri, side Salad. All were sensational. Nice wines and fantastic coffee. Better than any Portuguese food I’ve experienced in the Algarve. I will certainly return for dinner and recommend to friends.

Came back on Saturday for the annual Portuguese celebrations in Stockwell. All very authentic and satisfying. Great community.

Great place, great service Nd the piri piri chicken was great. The pork was something else. The beef was very tender but the lamb was very special...not sure but I think it was cooked In port wine. Do do tender and tasty.

Came to this place as they had special stews on that day, chicken with beans or spare rib with pasta and vegetables. Myself and my partner had one of each and we were not disappointed. The portion sizes were decent and the chicken stew came with a side of rice at no extra cost. The soup of the was oxtail which was again very warming and packed with flavour. The staff were efficient and attentive regularly checking with us that our meals were okay and also helping with a wine that matched the meals. Overall I would highly recommend this place for great home cooked food with excellent customer service.

Quando il mio amico, che vive in zona, mi disse che c'era un bar che serviva la colazione inglese a 6 pounds quasi non volevo crederci...e invece sono stato all'Estrela Bar, ed era tutto vero! Servizio veloce e camerieri simpatici, ma soprattutto una qualità prezzo incredibile, penso unica a Londra, per una vera english breakfast ad un prezzo proprio irrisorio! Consigliatissimo!

Generous portions with fresh seafood. The garlic prawns starter was delicious. The grilled monkfish was chunk and succulent. There was plenty of mussels and prawns in the seafood rice.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. Walked in at 9pm wanting a quick bite after work. The service, food and drink here were fantastic. The waiter (I didn't catch his name) was very attentive, the food came out in good time and there was no rush for me to leave after a long day. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

Wonderful meal on a Saturday lunchtime. Visiting my son and girlfriend - they took us to their favourite place. What a gem. Great value too. I ordered beef skewers - amazing!

Lovely Portugese place on the corner of South Lambeth road. Really nice ham and cheese toastie and a latte. Well priced and good seating inside and outside too.

What a fantastic hidden gem of a restaurant. Food was amazing, service fantastic and well priced. The only thing we can say is don’t fill yourself up before going there as the portions are huge. Will definitely visit again.

Group holiday for August booked when Boris placed Portugal on green light list. But then last week he changed it to amber.But we remain positive and as a dress rehearsal for the holiday it’s great to be able to come to Little Portugal as a group and practice ordering stuff in the lingo. Bustling and friendly.well priced booze.

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Proper, authentic food (chicken gizzards!) and prices like I have never seen in London. Very happy. Beautiful service too, our waiter was lovely.

Really don't want to recommend this place. Stay away. Unfortunately it's bloody amazing, and am worried about the hoards descending if I say too much... On a sunny day sat on the terrace drinking Vinho Verde (from the sneaky off-list selection) eating pulpo, about as good as it gets, at super reasonable prices too... Staff are "old school" in a dependable way... Everything just ticks along nicely...

I was inviting my mate for the first time as I heard it was good. Regardless of the good service. 10/10. However.... Freezing cold starters of prawns and mushrooms and wrong order of the last starter of chorizo. Then we had to ask for salt and pepper and napkins. Then the main paella came out and I believe it was frozen from a bag like from ready made lidl's and topped with cold prawns to be make it look like freshly made. I'm really disappointed as I felt embarrassed for my friend and also I believe the quality of the food didn't match the standards we expected for the price. Just because people queue up doesn't mean it a good place.

Went with friends on a Saturday evening for food. Service was prompt from the off, Eric was great all night. Food came quickly and was incredibly tasty! Portions were very generous, good value for money. Atmosphere was cosy and lively sat outside. Would definitely recommend, can’t wait to come back!

Love to go there for the Francesinha occasionally and always come back satisfied. Staff always welcoming.

Staff extremely rude! Very disappointed with the service and the food. There are better places around.

Increíble "Tosta Mista", que es una tostada de jamón y queso. Lo tomé con un café con leche y el servicio era bueno. Bastantes asientos, así como asientos exteriores (bueno en verano). Hay mucho para elegir, ya sea para almorzar, cenar o simplemente tomar un café. Seguro que saborearás el portugués aquí.

Lo que me gusta de la mayoría de los restaurantes portugueses en el sur de Londres es la autenticidad. Si alguna vez has pasado tiempo en Portugal, lo reconocerás de inmediato cuando entres al Bar Estrela. Es como salir de la calle en Londres a un restaurante en Lisboa u Oporto. Muchos de los comensales habituales son portugueses, lo que indica la confianza que depositan en la tarifa disponible aquí. Lo cual por supuesto es muy, muy bueno. He comido dos veces aquí ahora, una para sardinas y otra para calamares, y aunque todavía tengo que probar su variada selección de platos de carne, estoy seguro de que también son muy buenos. El menú es más variado que la mayoría de los restaurantes portugueses que he experimentado en Londres con su selección de entrantes y platos principales. No hay una gran lista de vinos, pero los vinos son buenos, sin embargo. Bueno para comensales solteros, parejas y familias por igual. Un plato principal te costará alrededor de 10 a 16 libras. Una botella decente de vino blanco portugués, alrededor de 20 libras, no es nada caro para los estándares de Londres. Con respecto al postre, depende de lo que esté disponible en el día, pero típicamente los panaderos portugueses se destacan en pasteles y cosas cremosas y los postres aquí son típicos de esto. Ven a este restaurante un poco hambriento ya que las porciones son muy generosas. Cuando el restaurante, en el entresuelo, no está abierto, hay un menú de almuerzo bastante bueno en el bar disponible en el bar. Y, por supuesto, si hace buen tiempo, puede cenar al aire libre en la amplia terraza delantera. El servicio es amable y relajado, pero no lento.

I am portuguese and I definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to try Portuguese dishes and feel the Portuguese atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and is very quick to serve the food. Coffee is the best you can try and at a reasonable price (for expresso lovers). Francesinha, a typical portuguese dish from the north,was the best I have tried in UK. Definitely going back.

Overrated restaurant, not worth the try. Nice and friendly service but fairly poor quality food. Too expensive for what we got. I would not recommend it.

A simple (... But effective) restaurant / cafe in South Lambeth Rd, the tables outside let ya enjoy your food, glorious multicoloured salads, tapas, or even a simple espresso with some delicious Portuguese cakes (Try the Nata!!!!) under the sun (when it's nice weather, that is!!!!), friendly and quick staff, even when busy, and more than reasonable prices, give this Portuguese Cafe a great continental taste!!!!

Don't live in this area but have passed it before & wanted to try it as my pre-birthday meal. A real taste of Portugal. 4 adults, sangria was amazing. Had grilled seabass, hubby had chicken escalope, sons had steak & piri-piri whole chicken cut into pieces. All meals came with veg or rice, chips. We had desserts & the bill came to £110 incl 10% service. Was quite busy but we got a window table straight away. Unfortunately they were out of their sardine pate but the food came in generous portions. We all enjoyed it & would def return if in the area.

Si bien esto puede parecer un bar deportivo (y en parte lo es), esta cafetería de larga data también es un auténtico restaurante portugués. Un montón de pescado en el menú. Nos encantaron las sardinas asadas. Como en Lisboa llegaron con papas hervidas y una ensalada de tomates y pimientos. Amplia carta de vinos portugueses y españoles; Excelente buen valor Borba rojo. Acabado con las tartas de crema de Belem. Un sabor de portugal.

Para nuestra última noche de una semana en Londres, decidimos probar un lugar cerca de donde estábamos alojados en Nine Elms. Dando vueltas, el bar / cafetería Estrela parecía la mejor opción en el vecindario. Una buena elección: un verdadero ambiente portugués, obviamente popular, con una opción de menú decente y el personal fue amable. Las sardinas que pedí (¡qué más elegirías en una cafetería portuguesa!) Fueron geniales.Vale la pena una visita.

Servi sans manières, d'excellent plats très gouteux. Nous y sommes retournés deux fois pour explorer encore plus le menu. Restaurant de quartier avec la vie qui entour les lieux. Excellent rapport qualité prix

Espaço muito agradável. Boa esplanada e bom espaço interior. Boa comida e snacks. Empregados muito simpáticos e prestáveis. Recomendo!!

Estábamos visitando Battersea y queríamos encontrar un restaurante independiente y pintoresco fuera de los caminos trillados. Aquí está. . , lo encontramos. ¡El autobús gratuito de Battersea nos dejó justo antes de Vauxhall e incluso el conductor lo reconoció como uno de sus favoritos! Un paseo de 10 minutos y encontramos este gran restaurante portugués que sirve una deliciosa selección de platos de tapas. El personal fue atento y rápido con nuestros pedidos. Optamos por pulpo, cerdo con habas, pollo y una ensalada con huevo, queso, cangrejo y langostinos. Grandes porciones y un precio muy razonable. Gracias por una cena encantadora.

Este es uno de mis lugares favoritos para disfrutar de la cerveza y el vino. He estado yendo allí por algún tiempo. Las tapas son muy buenas que realmente te llenan. No tuve que pedir una comida, pero es mi lugar favorito para disfrutar y satisfacer el gusto que el cliente necesita.

El personal no estaba interesado. La comida en mi plato estaba parcialmente fría (las verduras estaban preparadas / crudas, las papas eran claramente del tipo que se obtiene directamente del congelador ... y la carne de cerdo estaba recocida, se asemeja a la textura de la goma de mascar). pret-a-manger o incluso McDonald's. .

Este restaurante es una mezcla de cocina Española y Portuguesa , algunos de los platos nos gustaron mucho

Took my 18 year old nephew for a meal here last Monday. I had the monkfish and king prawns, both very nice. My nephew had the beef and lamb, looked lovely and cooked perfectly. Lots of veg and salad came with our orders, way too much for both of us. The red wine, not sure which one it was, was lovely and smooth, had to have two glasses. Nephew was happy to find they had his favourite drink he drinks while in Portugal at his girlfriends parents villa. Would definately return. Nephew is going to return with his girlfriend as he is in hall of residence at King's medical uni, so not far to travel. He also found some local Portuguese shops selling all the food he wants to purchase for cooking.

I had prawn piri piri which was good. I cannot remember what but he seemed to enjoy it. To drink Coke Zero. Nice atmosphere-good staff-Will return I hope.

Visiting and staying nearby in the area of Vauxhall and decided to try this portuguese restaurant. It was extremely busy, the place was heaving (Saturday night), and there were 8 of us. however, we waited for about 5-10 mins, (and we all agreed on this) each of us had various dishes (chicken to Baccala fish and loin of Pork) - the food AMAZING, portion sizes generous (served with rice, fries and salad - NOT either or - you get it all) and the price reasonable (for London). Service good too and very friendly customer service. Would definitely go again.

We came after the theatre and sat outside to have a few plates of good tapas. Friendly service, good wine and a lively atmosphere, this seemed a very authentic Portuguese eatery and we really enjoyed it. Good octopus, clams and flaming chorizo.

I haven’t been back here since I moved to north London 8 years and I was so delighted to return and see that the food is as good as it was then if not better. We tried the octopus and calamari for starters and for mains we had the bacalhau a bras and picadinho. I loved the food the atmosphere is just how I like it actually I would move down to London just so I could eat here every week.... absolutely outstanding food and great value for money. As far as the service it’s just so typical of the Portugues hospitality, good banter and lots of jokes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, tapas bar to anyone. Bravo

Dinner at Estela. Lovely food with very good portions. Very good service and very friendly. Drinks in the bar first and then upstairs for our dinner. A very nice evening in a very friendly bar.

I was here for breakfast and really wanted to like it because I was staying nearby for 3 days. Coffee was great but my smoked salmon eggs benedict not so much, a generous helping of salmon but the eggs were poached rock hard, is that a thing in England? I like mine with a set white and soft yolk. Tried again day 2 and ladies and gentleman a winner, same great coffee with a bacon roll, a good breakfast.

Very nice place. Very nice staff and good food. When the weather is nice there are fewer better spots to sit and watch the world go by. Very nicely done Portuguese classics in comfortable friendly settings.

I came for dinner with my wife on Monday night and it was a total disaster from start to finish.

Great mix of food including fish, meats and salads. Good atmosphere. Would definitely return with friends and family

Went to a birthday gathering yesterday and have to say it was lovely. The food was delicious. The service provided amazing very professional. It was a great night. And the birthday cake ordered there ( red velvet) delicious. Everyone loved. Thank you

Una noche en el hotel Best Western Plus era un paseo de 2 minutos de este animado restaurante de tapas. . Saludo con un acogedor. desde los camareros nos sentamos a bebidas y tapas y compartida. .

Quién sabía que este rincón de Lambeth fue un enclave portugués? Y está convenientemente ubicado a sólo 10 minutos de la elipse. Todo el personal era portugués, los clientes eran o portugués o portugués habla - es la realidad!

We’ve been around this area and we found this place, went inside for a quick meal but it became a full 3 courses meal after tried first starters. Really nice food , service nothing special but definitely coming back.

Estrela is a local legend. Been here for year and does what it does well. Great for pints of lager on the terrace and simple tapas dishes. very reasonably priced and friendly staff.

Having visited the London Science museum we took a trip down to our favourite Portuguese restaurant in London. As usual it did not disappoint and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed a traditional Portuguese meal. Recommend the Espada Frita, Paella do Mariscos, Salmon Frito and Portuguese wine or beer.

Fuimos a la mitad de la semana restaurante cena y era tan tan sorprendido! La comida era deliciosa, raciones enormes, el servicio era impecable y los precios tan razonables! Buscando una excusa para volver pronto!

I've visited several restaurants in "Little Portugal" (i.e. Stockwell in South London) and had wanted to try this one for ages because I've passed by it so many times. Unfortunately the food was very average (the monkfish was very dry) and unlike other Portuguese restaurants in the area, they did not offer the bread and fish pates before the meal.

My family and I travel once in a while to central London and whilst we are there take time to dine at this Portuguese eatery. My wife is from Madeira, Portugal and knows the food well. It was a great meal and very good portions. No need for starters or desserts! Would reccommed highly.

Dinner here was lovely, authentic Portuguese food and great service and lovely wine. It's cosy and welcoming and I would recommend - it's a bit hard to locate but once found, it's great.

Me dieron el pasteis de bacalo para llevar. Super barato en un par de pence por pasty pero he tenido mucho más sabrosa pasteis en Portugal. El resto del menú me parece bastante caro con platos principales a £15.

Desde hace 2 años la calidad y el servicio al cliente hasta el fondo inferior tienen nunca me sentí así no acogió como mi última visita por desgracia porque solía ser un lugar vivo de asiento fuera y disfrutar de una bebida. Los peces pequeños fritos y quemar conseguimos la peor sabor. Aún lo bueno el café. Espero volver a este lugar vía como solía ser, y mostrar a la gente cómo portugueses son gente de bienvenida

Definitivamente te sientes como si estuvieses en un bar restaurante de Portugal. Buen trato al cliente y buenos platos. Restaurante un poco pequeño ,pero acogedor,la terraza esta bastante bien..si hace sol claro esta .

Went for Sunday lunch with nine other ladies. It was one ladies birthday and a friend had ordered a custard cake in advance which was amazing to look at and absolutely delicious.

We just stopped by chance for Sunday lunch. Having been here many times before , we were assured of good service and good food at reasonable prices.

Went with 7 other friends to this restaurant and we had an excellent evening. The staff were friendly and approachable. The food was Excellent, tasty and affordable. This is a brilliant find. I had the steak and it came with rice, French fries and salad. The portions are very generous and you can take leftovers home. Amazing.

Amplias mesas en el exterior para las noches cálidas, sin embargo nos sentamos en, encantador ambiente relajado y agradable. Gran servicio de nuestro atento camarero, estábamos en el piso superior, en la ventana. Rissoles para empezar delicioso langostino de degustación! Por supuesto, un pan aceitunas! !

Esta es mi segunda vez en el Estrela, y no me decepcionó. Yo trabajo lejos de casa en Londres, así que normalmente comer solos, pero la Estrela es realmente un lugar acogedor y hogareño. La comida es estupenda, las raciones son inmensas y el servicio es muy bueno! Es sencillo, la comida tradicional, sin duda, de mi manera de probar el menú aquí. Sólo me gustaría que hable portugués, por lo que podría participar en el ambiente - es una maravilla!

A friend and I had been out all day walking around London (as you do) and popped in for a meal before heading to the bus station.The venue was easy to find, and was quite busy (Hopefully a good sign!) We were seated and served bread and olives as standard.We then ordered some beers in lovely big glasses and ordered food.The food we ordered was not particularly Portuguese (to my knowledge) but was very nice and plenty of chips, rice and salad (we had a steak and chicken escalopes) Staff were busy but were quick to serve and were friendly.I would go again if I was staying in the area.

Pleasant service; efficient but laid-back. Choose your spot in the sun. The bar is spotless but it is on a main road. Family-oriented with many patrons from the Portuguese emigre community who all seem to know each other.

The Portugese tapas have been good and it's great that you can sit outside and enjoy the afternoon sun. Inside the restaurant is rather basic and lacks atmosphere. Price wise it's average to cheap for a dinner for two. The Service can be slow - looks to be lack of staff rather than laziness.

Went for lunch. There were 6waiters but not really interested on us. Children were left everywhere no one cared,so if you plan to relax forget about this place.1L Bottle of water £4.10...clams (tastes only of coriander)Polvo o estrela (very well cooked octopus,6slices!!!! no taste at all)Ordered special fried mixed fish ( good portion but very cheap cuts of fish, a regular fish & chips from any street food would have been much,much better) Bacalhao o algarveiro ( veggies were way over cooked)We may had ordered the wrong staff from the menu as we had a picanha with rice & homemade chips that was quite good.The dessert was very nice :bola de bolachoAnyway we'll not get there anymore.Went to many Portuguese restaurants and this is the worst one .Portion were impressive, quality not at allSorry

A friend brought me here. She uses this restaurant regularly. We had tapas which were very good and provided more tasty food than we could comfortably manage.Most people were eating outside on this hot evening. There was no room for us outside but I was more than happy to eat inside away from the traffic fumes.This restaurant is fine but there are many in the area just as good. It is by no means outstanding but good enough.Service was fine and the decor pleasing enough. I would not worry about coming here again.

Um bar excelente, com um ótimo ambiente, bons petiscos e boa comida. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e acolhedores. Idiomas falados: português e inglês. Boa relação qualidade/preço.

This place is welcoming and offers good traditional food. Although not glamorous, the excellency is given by the great value of the food - tasty, hearty, generous portions, home feel, attentive service.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés un peut au hasard en terrace dans se bar/restaurant portugais.C'était sympa, les prix sont très correcte (3,60 livres La pinte) et nous avons prit un petit apéro à côté. C'était bon et le service très bien. Agréable moment.

Fundado e gerido por portugueses, está aberto há cerca de 20 anos. Permite ver televisão nacional e jogos de futebol. Comida razoável.

We went to Estrela on Saturday night.Service could not have been better and our meals were superb.Look forward to going again. No 88 bus service right to the door, so we had a nice bottle of Portuguese Rose to wash it all down.

The food looks and feels like home made food, portions are generous and service was good. It's not a restaurant, more like a cafe where Portuguese families meet. It has a strong sense of community because of that but the downside is that it can be loud and crowded. Good selection of seafood makes a good choice for me.

We came here after few months, and after years of coming here, we were very dissapointed, prices have gone up (which would not be an issue if the service was matching) but it took 25 min to order drinks.....and then they brought few starters and after it took over 1 hour before we could receive any main courses, the rest of the tables were empty as well full of "hungry" customers ......it was a bit of crash, and massive dissapointment !!!!

Have visited previously last month for lunch and was impressed with the warm Portuguese welcome and excellent auyhentic food. Came back for dinner with friends and was surprised to find out there was a larger dining room upstairs. They happily accommodated an extra guest. The food was excellent - went for a large choice of tapas and the waiter provided excellent advice on the menu. He repeated this with the wine list too.. Large, tasty portions and excellent service - will be back in New Year.

Eight of us ate there last night. The food was amazing: my sardines tasted as though they had been caught that day and our friends who had not been there before were all very impressed with their dishes. The service was attentive and informative. The prices are incredibly cheap. A very good bottle of wine has a small mark up and house wine is just £2.50 a glass. The food portions are enormous - one monkfish and shrimp skewer is enough for two people. We over ordered - don't underestimate the generous portions! Thoroughly recommended.

Restaurante na região Sul de Londres, próximo do metrô e com várias linhas ônibus na frente. Pra quem está com saudades de Portugal ou Brasil, com comida típica, cerveja portuguesa bem gelada e cadeiras na calçada. Ótimo para um dia preguiçoso e ensolarado. O atendimento é ao estilo português, a princípio parece ríspido, mas depois você vê que é cultural. Vários outros restaurantes portugueses nos arredores, bem como pequenos mercados com produtos típicos de Portugal e Brasil

The atmosphere is always lively and laid back, with the outdoor seating being a coveted spot during the summer- on a nice day you feel like you are miles away from London. Drinks prices are very reasonable (£2 for a bottle of Sagres and £11 a bottle of house wine.) I've yet to have a tapas dish I havnt enjoyed - favourite being the grilled Octopus - and the portions are huge for tapas. Meal for family of 4 with wine, beers and coffees came to less than £80 which is very good value considering how much food we had.

Unbelievable tapas, great to share (obviously). Nice outside area good to have a couple of pints of Portuguese beer after a meal, or by itself. Would recommend. 10 stars

Vivi em Londres durantes anos, frequentei esse café diariamente. Ambiente atabernado e muito agitado, especialmente em dias de futebol. O Sr. Costa, o prioritário, e o João, seu genro, São pessoas 5 estrelas, assim como todos os funcionários. Boa comida, bom ambiente, Boa carta de vinhos, RECOMENDO VIVAMENTE UMA VISITA, quando passar pelos lados de Kenninghton ou Vauxhall.

I have lived in the area for many years and the tables outside Bar Estrela are always full. It sits on a special spot and it seems to me the sun is warmer here, people enjoy drinks, the bar food or long lazy lunches. What makes Bar Estrela so popular is its happy location, great relaxed, friendly atmosphere, simple and tasty with Portuguese food of consistent quality. For a cup of coffee and a custard cake or delicious seafood, stopping at Bar Estrela feels like being on holiday

Nice place, not for long I was in this place, today I went for a lunch with my eldest son, good approximation from the waiter , no too busy for lunch, and still waiting quite long for our food !!!Overall I'm giving 3 star only for that and some missing bits on the table for our lunch to go through!!!

Un muy buen bar portugués entre los muchos que hay en los alrededores del metro de Stockwell (en este caso, a medio camino entre esta estación y la de Vauxhall). No en vano a la zona le llaman Little Portugal. Ideal para la saudade: hasta el agua embotellada es de Portugal. Abierto desde primera hora de la mañana hasta la noche, desde el desayuno a la cena. Excelente bollería portuguesa, empezando, aunque no sólo, por los pasteles de nata. Puedes tomar un expreso de verdad por una libra. Y gozar también de un buen English breakfast. Sobre todo, iba allí al desayuno o al café de media mañana. Un día cené, y la carta me pareció variada, con varios platos de pescado. No me pareció nada mal. Abundante. Tiene una terraza excelente, wifi (que se pilla en la terraza), y la atención de camarer@s portugueses, con ese toque de carácter de cantores de fados, sobrios pero atentos y amables. Realmente interesante y bueno.

It's a restaurant on the street, with server Portuguese food; but looks like they are making a big favour to you to bring anything to the table. Worse behave I saw from this Portuguese Community

Had lunch at Estrela Bar yesterday. We had a selection of small plates including prawn rissoles and salt cod fish cakes, they did not disappoint. The Vinho Verde and rose hit the spot.The service was very good, the waiters professional and friendly.It was great being surrounded by the sound of Portuguese being spoken on every table around us, just like being back in Lisbon.The only disappointment was the cheese, it tasted like edam and was £11.50 for a plate.Overall we had a great time and would definitely go again.

Great place for a beer and a snack sitting outside on a sunny day. Freshly squeezed orange juice. Great atmosphere.

Great Portuguese food, with an authentic taste, it's hard to choose from such a great menu! Lively atmosphere- it was very busy for a Wednesday, with lovely home cooking! The food certainly rivals that of other Portuguese restaurants in the London area. Prices are typicalof the London area. Service is friendly. We had (pictured) bacalhau à Brás (fabulous!), Sardinhas na Brasa (they were not on a BBq flame, they were grilled- disappointing) and Peixe Espetada (Nice!) My Portuguese husband and I would recommend a visit if you like Portuguese cuisine!

High recommended. Very good Portuguese food, specially the cod fish. the staff is very friendly. Regards

We stumbled across this quaint little Portuguese restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. Not only did the atmosphere & surroundings feel like we were in a little town in Portugal but the cakes & the drinks made it taste like we were really there! Fab little place, we'll definitely be back for a pastel de nata (custard tart) and a meia de leite (milky coffee) for sure. :-)

We've been there on a saturday night with no booking. The atmosphere is friendly, There is a terrace which is quite rare in London...As for the food, it was simple but very good and fresh. Portions are big and the price as well.I would definitely recommand this restaurant.

I highly recommend this restaurant for Portuguese food. Portions are very vast and everything was very tasty. I will come back next time I am in London.

Staying nearby for a wedding reception later in the day. Walked from our hotel a number of Portuguese restaurants but this looked the most inviting, outside seating and open folding doors. Light lunch over a bottle of wine in no hurry. Went on the recommendation of our waiter for a tapas. The choice was very good three dishes for the two of us, one of our party just a sandwich, the best ever for ages the remaining one of our party had an omelette with loads of chips. It reminded us of being in the Med so laid pack, many local Portuguese using the restaurant which in itself shows the standard.Very clean and well presented.

Os caracóis no Restaurante Estrela em South Lambeth Road não sabem a nada... e ainda são melhores que o serviço! Péssimo! 1 estrela em 5

I am a regular customer of Estrela. I decided the finally write a review because I think it is not fair the place is receiving all these bad reviews.Everytime I ate here I was always welcome politely and quickly even if they were really really busy.Food are very genuine and high standard. It might be that the bar is not too posh and classy but does it matter?The real portuguese experience takes the lead.However upstairs they have a dining room that is more elegant if you need it.If you want to have a waiter just for you chatting bla bla bla then you should go when it is not dinner or lunch time. Lets say late afternoon.Otherwise of course they are polite and nice but they cannot speak long time with you if they have to run.Why they have to run? Because it is always busy busy.. why? Because food are very very good and the same you can taste in most parts of Portugal.Strongly recommended.

We had dinner at Estrela while staying in the Vauxhall neighborhood during our recent visit to London. Service was welcoming and the food was ample and tasty. I highly recommend the beef stew, which was unusual, but excellent. The Spaghetti Bolognaise was ok, but maybe too different. Liver and onions was good, but hard to get used to it with English bacon. Overall, a good experience.

I ventured into an unassuming bar/cafe and discovered a nice bit of Portugal with attentive service, no frills, good food and a sense of "being abroad" - many Portuguese dominated the patronage. I was concerned with such a number of menu options in a cafe/bar environment may mean iffy quality - so I was pleasantly surprised with my seafood selection quality. To finish my good coffee, Portuguese Custard tarts and aquardiente was a delightful end to a good meal. I've been again and went for Tapas & found as good. Do go if you want to experience Portugal.

I have worked in north Lamneth for the past 18 years and have been a regular at Bar Estrela along wth a friend who lives quite close. Every time I have visited, the staff have been personable and attentive whilst being totally relaxed. The food is always of exceptional standard although on the rustic side. If you haven't had chicken gizzards, give them a try! We were sat outside and the tbale next door had a bowl served to them. The smell was wonderful and we asked what the dish was and could we have some. The girls on the next table offered us a taste of theirs and it was a delight. Good food, good wine good service what more can you ask?.

This Portuguese restaurant is local to us and we have going there for many years, the food is really good and the service impecable. Over the years the food has never disappointed and always very fresh and tasty. We recomment this restaurant for great Portugues and Mediterranean food.

The food was fantastic. We really enjoyed the tapas and would highly recommend. Service was good and friendly. We visited on a Sunday. The atmosphere was relaxed and very welcoming to children. We will visit again :)

Very reasonably priced and friendly staff. Huge portions and very good overall. Toilets were a bit smelly but the food made up for it. Tapas portions are the size of a main course

The place is very informal. They have a wide selection of food, most Of the time I ordered fish and the taste was good. The fish is generally prepared with a lot of oil (Portuguese way) that could be a bit too much if you are used to a lighter cuisine. Staff is polite, I remember decent wines and the bill was fine. Recommend if you want eat cod or octopus
