"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
"You want to drink and you want to eat. More specifically, you want to drink a lot and nibble on some delightful things that will leave your hands smelling of garlic for the rest of the day. Enter Bar Douro, a relaxed little Portuguese restaurant in London Bridge. Their outdoor seating involves stools and some big beer barrels fashioned into tables that we can already picture ourselves leaning on, glass of rosé in hand, humming Club Tropicana. On the menu you’ll find things like croquetes, grilled octopus, and the vacation nibbles swan song, garlic prawns." - heidi lauth beasley

"Tucked under an arch away from the chaos of Borough Market, Bar Douro is a welcome respite. The first thing that hits you in this tiny spot is the smell of meat and fish cooking on coals. Second is the decor: blue and white Portuguese tiling, just on the right side of cliché. Inside it’s only bar stools—while not ideal for those needing lumbar support, it is for a couple in the early stages of romance. The wines, especially from the Douro Valley, are excellent. The food mostly revolves around small plates—bacalhau à brás is an oily, glistening delight and monkfish tail on garlicky green sauce expertly grilled—and the set lunch menu is a steal too." - tome morrissy swan
