    Portuguese tapas are so good, especially at Bar Douro. They have Portuguese waitresses, and as a Portuguese person, I love that because, honestly, people who go to Bar Douro get recommendations from people who have eaten Portuguese food all their lives. They know what they are recommending for you. The sausage croquettes, the octopus salad, the potatoes with garlic, the prawns ( Gambás ao Guilho” the Bacalhau a Bras, and the Artichoke salad were our pick tonight, and it didn't disappoint at all; we also had the Pasteis de nata with cinnamon ice cream and the Portuguese style fig cake with vanilla ice cream. We had a fantastic choice of food, and honestly, next time, I will eat the cod fish fritters because they are excellent, too. My friend enjoyed her birthday dinner. The Ginjinha cocktails were refreshing and tasty, and the port wine was great for dessert.

    We had a great time at Bar Duoro. I’m coeliac and dairy free and by telling them in advance I was welcomed with a menu which had everything marked that I could eat. They checked in and regularly informed me what I could or couldn’t eat. The food itself was very tasty (although we ordered a bit too much and couldn’t finish it!). Service was friendly and attentive and drinks were tasty. Would definitely recommend

    Have eaten here multiple times. The food is exceptional. I love the “tapas” size plates. Even with just 2 people, you can share variety of dishes.

    Food is great and the environment is very cozy. The balalhau (cod) and the pork were the best dish of the menu

    Great food and Portuguese wine, lovely setting- almost feels as though you're in Portugal once inside. Sophisticated interpretation of traditional Portuguese cuisine and good to know it's from a small independent business instead of a big chain.

    The price and food portions need to be looked at. And ingredients need to be included more precisely. We ordered octopus salad and with a lot of onions but not of us eat them. And sitting inside it was cold because when the outside doors opens cold wind was blowing and you feel very uncomfortable. The shrimps with garlic were perfectly cooked.
    Bar Douro CityResponded on January 20, 2025
    Hi Arunas, Thank you for your feedback regarding the octopus salad, a classic Portuguese dish, and the indoor temperature, we will review these areas. We appreciate you letting us know about your experience. The Bar Douro Team
