The Guardian Says…
I’m just off the plane from Lisbon when I find myself (with some difficulty: it’s hidden away in Bankside’s new Flat Iron Square complex) in Bar Douro. Portuguese is one of the most under-rated cuisines, dismissed by many as an endless array of stringy piri-piri chicken and salty, swampy stews reeking of too much coriander. But I’ve come back thrilled at the beauty of the city and starry-eyed about the food, head filled with vaguely erotic thoughts of oozing, whiffy cheeses and nutty, fat-marbled hams, of seafood, sweet and pristine, of alluring chips, yellow from their dip in seething, fragrant local olive oil.

Conde Nast Traveller Says…
The blocks in the shadow of the Shard have been growing their restaurant credentials of late: constant queues for homemade pasta at Padella in Borough Market; critics going wild for seawater-based pizza at O'Ver. And now a new Portuguese restaurant inspired by the cervejarias of Porto and Lisbon is further adding to its appeal. Bar Douro is located in Flat Iron Square, a new foodie hub under fairy-lit railway arches where an after-work crowd sinks pitchers of beer. Adding to the buzz is live music venue Omeara, opened by Mumford and Sons' Ben Lovett.

Time Out Says…
A stylish Portuguese joint at Flat Iron Square. Bar Douro – a stylish spot bringing Portuguese small plates to Southwark’s Flat Iron Square – makes a great first impression. Design-wise, the attention to detail is marvellous, with a broad open kitchen, two shiny marble counters lined with stools and some lovely tiled walls, like those you see in Lisbon and Porto. It’s a gorgeous space to while away an evening over a bottle of vino.
