The 11 Best Portuguese Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"There are several Portuguese-run caffs in London, combining bacon butties with seafood petiscos. Palmeira in Leyton is a fantastic deli-cum-greasy spoon, popular with families and Orient fans on weekends, and locals popping by for coffee and a pastry during the week. All the British breakfast classics are present and correct (get an egg sandwich in a huge, crispy Portuguese roll), or opt for one of Portugal’s two standout sandwiches, the prego and bifana. The latter, when ordering the ‘especial’, is a behemoth: layers of juicy grilled pork heavily marinated in garlic and white wine, ham, melted cheese, lettuce, and a runny fried egg. Finish with a coffee or sweet treat—try the brilliantly fluffy rice muffin—and you’ll be out for a tenner." - tome morrissy swan
