    We had a great time at Bar Duoro. I’m coeliac and dairy free and by telling them in advance I was welcomed with a menu which had everything marked that I could eat. They checked in and regularly informed me what I could or couldn’t eat. The food itself was very tasty (although we ordered a bit too much and couldn’t finish it!). Service was friendly and attentive and drinks were tasty. Would definitely recommend

    Have eaten here multiple times. The food is exceptional. I love the “tapas” size plates. Even with just 2 people, you can share variety of dishes.

    The food was brilliant and delicious! This is a real gem of a find in the heart of the square mile, nice location and the food was to die for. Would go back everyday if I could afford it.

    Food is great and the environment is very cozy. The balalhau (cod) and the pork were the best dish of the menu

    Great food and Portuguese wine, lovely setting- almost feels as though you're in Portugal once inside. Sophisticated interpretation of traditional Portuguese cuisine and good to know it's from a small independent business instead of a big chain.

    The price and food portions need to be looked at. And ingredients need to be included more precisely. We ordered octopus salad and with a lot of onions but not of us eat them. And sitting inside it was cold because when the outside doors opens cold wind was blowing and you feel very uncomfortable. The shrimps with garlic were perfectly cooked.

    Hi Arunas, Thank you for your feedback regarding the octopus salad, a classic Portuguese dish, and the indoor temperature, we will review these areas. We appreciate you letting us know about your experience. The Bar Douro Team

    The food was insanely good (and special). Took the sharing menu and everything was delicious. Didn’t know cabbage could taste this good. Service was efficient and friendly. Decently priced. Can’t recommend it enough!!

    Normally I rave about the food. Today the salt cod was cold, the monk fish was dry, the octopus was amazing, the steak was chewy and the prawns were delicious. Normally all food is great but today it didn’t live up to the high expectations. Service is always great.
