If you’re looking for somewhere special to dine near London Bridge, you’re in luck. The area is home to some of London’s most exciting restaurants. From handmade pasta to Persian charcoal grills, Mediterranean plates to Portuguese classics, the restaurants around London Bridge offer an incredible diversity of flavour. But for those seeking a true taste of Portugal, its wines, ingredients and hospitality, Bar Douro remains the essential destination.

Bar Douro

For a taste of Portugal in the heart of London Bridge, there’s nowhere quite like Bar Douro. Inspired by the traditional tascas and cervejarias of Lisbon and Porto, our restaurant combines striking blue-and-white azulejo tiles with the warmth of Portuguese hospitality. Share petiscos, our take on Portuguese small plates and explore an award-winning wine list that celebrates Portugal’s native grape varieties and independent producers. Whether you’re sitting at the counter watching our chefs at work or relaxing on the terrace beneath the railway arches, Bar Douro is an authentic and unforgettable experience.

Padella

Just moments away, Padella has become a London institution for good reason. With handmade pasta prepared fresh each day and served in an unpretentious, buzzy setting, it’s the perfect spot for simple, honest cooking done exceptionally well.

Berenjak

A celebration of Persian cuisine, Berenjak brings vibrant flavours and charcoal-grilled dishes to Borough Yards. Expect bold spices, beautiful small plates, and a convivial atmosphere that’s ideal for sharing, a fitting neighbour to Bar Douro in both spirit and energy.

OMA

OMA, also in Borough Yards, offers Mediterranean cooking with a contemporary edge. The menu moves gracefully between influences from Greece and the Levant, highlighting fresh ingredients, wood-fired flavours and refined simplicity. It’s a wonderful choice for those who love food with soul and balance.
