About Bar Douro City

Bar Douro City is a Portuguese restaurant on Finsbury Ave in London, with an open kitchen and counter seating in a dining room lined with blue and white azulejo tiles. The menu is built around small sharing plates, so tables order a few dishes to share rather than individual mains. Garlic prawns come with bread for the sauce, and the salted cod appears as bacalhau a bras. The kitchen also cooks acorn-fed black pig and rabbit for those who prefer meat. Staff serve at the table, and the menu is ordered from there. Dessert includes pastel de nata.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the small sharing plates, and the garlic prawns, octopus salad, mackerel and black pig come up again and again. Sausage croquettes, salt cod dishes and the rabbit are also named, though one reviewer found the rabbit nothing special despite soft meat. Desserts draw praise too, including the pastel de nata and egg yolk pudding. Several describe friendly, knowledgeable table service and a lovely, small dining room, and one suggests booking on busy evenings.

    “Lovely experience for a quick weekday lunch at Bar Duoro. They have online menu scan via QR code, and payment through that as well. Staff friendly and would recommend dishes. We sat outside as we had a pram and limited space inside. No high chair was available for baby. Food was pretty decent, we really liked the potato fish dish. The octopus salad was refreshing. Was not too impressed with the rabbit even through meat was soft it was nothing special. Overall pleasant experience.”

    “We had a lovely dinner at Bar Douro. The customer service is amazing and the food is delicious. We ordered had the sausage croquettes which were amazing. The Acorn-fed Black Pig and Octopus Salad were also delicious. The Garlic Prawns sauce is amazing definitely recommend getting bread to have with the sauce. The Grilled Flat Iron Steak in Mustard Sauce has such a unique amazing flavour. For dessert we had the Pineapple Cake & Egg Yolk Pudding.”

    “Pretty good restaurant! I went for a small birthday celebration, and the staff was sweet enough to help with the candle, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend the tasting menu, and the dessert is hands down the best pastel de nata I’ve ever had!”
