Bar Douro City

"Bar Douro is a charming little Portuguese spot housed in one of the old railway arches on Southwark Bridge Road. The classics should definitely be on your table—ibérico, garlic prawns, the sausage croquettes, more ibérico—but they’ve also got dishes like octopus rice and onglet to get involved in. It’s perfect for a pre-theatre drink and a snack that won’t cause a regrettable nap in the stalls midway through Act 2." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Finsbury Avenue Square might feel like a pretty soulless setting for a romantic night out, but Bar Douro fills it with some heart. It’s a relaxed Portuguese bar and restaurant which should be top of your list the next time you’re looking for somewhere to eat after a trip to the Barbican. Come for the counter seating and the laid-back style of the place, stay for small plates of croquetes de alheira, salt cod hash, and the one absolutely essential order, the cheese selection served with homemade biscuits." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver

"Dating someone new is the best feeling in the world. Minus the dry-heave of anxiety you get every time you think about them ghosting you, the state of your overdraft from all of the ‘effortless’ outfits you’ve bought to impress them, and the fact that you’ve got at least another four months of pretending you don’t burp like a Somerset farmer every time you drink a Heineken. But mostly, it’s the best feeling in the world. Channel all of that oxytocin into dinner at Bar Douro, a charming Portuguese restaurant where croquetes de alheira, prawn rissole, and pretending you’ve fled the country is encouraged. Don’t skip the Azeitao cheese either." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
