O Cantinho De Portugal

"O Cantinho De Portugal serves many of the same dishes you’ll find at most Portuguese restaurants in London but, not only does it excel at almost all of them, it adds a nice touch in highlighting Portugal’s regionality: frango a guia from the Algarve, porco à alentejana from Alentejo, and so on. Whether a quiet midweek lunch or busy weekend meal, O Cantinho in Stockwell is always a safe bet, and usually packed out with families, either here for a meal or a coffee at the bar. Moelas à portuguesa, a chicken gizzard stew, is a must-order starter: heavy with garlic, wine, and olives, it gives off cacciatore vibes. Sardines, creamy bacalhau com natas, and genuinely excellent fries are all recommended in this welcoming family-run spot. " - tome morrissy swan

"O Cantina de Portugal is a lively Portuguese tapas place offering a hearty selection of grilled pork and chicken dishes alongside a traditional assortment of seafood. With generous portions and dishes like fragrant octopus salads, garlicky grilled prawns doused in olive oil, and salted dried cod flaked over thick chips — and with and a friendly community atmosphere (it’s a particularly fun place to watch European football) — this is a great restaurant for groups who want an informal and relaxed meal. Keep an eye out for the weekend specials including the whole roasted suckling pig." - Yasmin Khan, James Hansen
