   Was Expecting more from Bar douro. Saturday night booking at 19:45. Restaurant not really busy, to be a Saturday Night. Not nice eating while chefs taking break to smoke a cigarets few meters from the table. Food good,but a bit overpriced for the average in London. Octopus salad not great, been eating the same dish in Portugal, but using better ingredients,dish will result more tasty. Service a bit disappointed, food left under the lights instead been served as soon as ready or at least i expect it for the snacks. We have been asking for olives while choosing food from the menu, never arrived at the table.

   Bar Douro offers a delightful dining experience with mouthwatering Portuguese dishes and outstanding service. Each plate is bursting with authentic flavors, and the attentive staff make every guest feel welcome.

   It’s a nice little restaurant for a catch up. The food is good and the wine average/good. The ambiance is so so. They could do with some music. There was none last night and we could tell you almost word for word what the two chefs were talking about as they had to shout over the noise of the grills and fryers. That said it was actually fun to watch and listen to them. My biggest issue with sitting at the bar is the seats are too close together. Anyone with a bad back avoid as both myself and my mate were crippled after an hour. Choose the other seats by the window if you have the option.

   Hi Bennett, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and had a fun time watching the chefs at work. We normally have music playing to create a better ambiance, so we apologize that it was missing during your visit. We’re also sorry to hear the bar seating wasn’t comfortable for you. Your point about spacing is something we'll look into, as we want all our guests to be comfortable. We hope you’ll give us another chance. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

   The staff was extremely attentive and made the dinner enjoyable throughout. The food was fresh and delicious, and the chefs explained the ingredients and flavors to us. They brought our dessert with a candle for one of our birthdays :) It was a lovely dinner, and we will visit again.

    Great food let down by poor service. We were an early table but the place was empty and were rushed throughout. at 5:40pm whilst we were finishing our last dish (having only been there an hour) the manager told us we needed to leave by 6:15pm because our table was booked. We understand they need to turn tables but they made us feel so unwelcome we didn’t have a dessert or port so paid the bill and left. Sad end to what as meant to be a nice valentines dinner.
