I absolutely loved this place. Dinner for 4. We tried 8 dishes + dessert (probably could have eaten the same all over again it was so good). Pork cheeks were a stand out dish, but everything was amazing and the plates were clean every time!

Keeps on getting better - each time we dine we discover a new flavour to savour. The complimentary port flight was a real bonus. 😉

I love this company and the restaurant. The service, however, was a bit slow and not as attentive as it could have been, especially considering it wasn’t very busy. The food was absolutely outstanding though. For London, the service could be a bit sharper. The staff were excellent overall, but they might need to keep a closer eye on the tables
Bar Douro CityResponded on October 28, 2024
Hi Sam, We are so pleased to hear that you loved the food! I've discussed the sharpness of the service you received for lunch on the 24th October with the team, to ensure this improves. We cannot wait to see you back at Bar Douro to sample more of the menu and the new dishes that are on their way. The Bar Douro Team

Everyone in the party of 8 enjoyed the meal - plenty of options for non fish eaters and Gluten Free (proper care taken to ensure no issues)- would recommend the fizz and Albarinho white wine. Just the right amount of attention and great service. We were not rushed- great lunch.
