Bankside, Portuguese Restaurant Guide

“Love it” – eating at this Portuguese tapas bar near Borough Market is “always a thoroughly enjoyable experience – especially outside in summer”. It’s a tiny, atmospheric place serving big flavours, the result of “top-quality ingredients and execution” backed up by “a comprehensive Portuguese wine list”.

This “buzzy” yearling serves “tasty Portuguese tapas” and “grilled chicken, done to perfection” in the Algarve style, over charcoal with piri-piri seasoning. “Don’t eat too much – the desserts are delicious as well”, led by pastel de nata and a thick chocolate mousse. The Green Room is a ‘secret’ cocktail bar, and there’s now a second branch with a large terrace between Great Eastern Street and Commercial Street in Shoreditch.
