About the restaurant
Bar Douro is located in Flat Iron Square, a buzzy and vibrant food and drink hub a few hundred metres from London Bridge that houses restaurants as well as street-food traders and bars. Flat Iron Square joins Vinegar Yard and Mercato Metropolitano as one of a few outdoor food markets to have opened around SE1 in the last few years.
The restaurant’s founder Max Graham hails from the family who founded Churchill’s port in Portugal in the 1980s. Graham is passionate about changing diners’ perceptions of the drink. The restaurant’s wine list showcases tasting flights of port and a port and tonic menu alongside some great Portuguese wines.
While it’s listed as a restaurant, Bar Douro is really a wine bar at heart. The best idea is to grab a seat around the central counter or by the window and order some sharing plates to keep you going as you make your way through the drinks list.
Reviews from the Web
Critic reviews
The Nudge
The menu is effectively a roll-call of Portugal’s finest dishes, and is divided up into small bar snacks and more substantial sharing plates, from which you can mix & match numbers like salted cod hash; piri piri chicken wings
The Infatuation
It’s a relaxed Portuguese bar and restaurant which you should be top of your list the next time you’re looking for somewhere to eat after a trip to the Barbican, or for a date spot in the City that shows you’re kind of cool.
Time Out
Bar Douro – a stylish spot bringing Portuguese small plates to Southwark’s Flat Iron Square – makes a great first impression.
The Guardian
It’s a little star: excellent produce, beautifully cooked. There isn’t a duffer among our choices
The Telegraph
We’d had a good lunch in a stylish place. It was just that – what’s that phrase? – the earth didn’t move.
