"A Torre well pre-dates London’s sudden desire to visit Lisbon and Porto to take pictures of pasteis de nata. It opened in 2004, which makes it quite old in restaurant years, and, since 2013, has been run by Jorge and Maria, who have brought flavourful authenticity with a luscious take on meat-and-two-veg. A Torre is a place for feasting: the caldeirada, a hefty stew of fish, potatoes and vegetables, is a must, as is the roasted octopus; the chargrilled Portuguese sardines are big and plump, unlike Cornwall’s smaller numbers, and the fiery clams are best washed down with one of the country’s rosados — the ones you can drink two bottles of and feel absolutely fine. All in all, a holiday of a restaurant." - Josh Barrie
