Our Story

Bar Douro was born out of a love of Portugal where owner Max spent
his childhood and where his family business Churchill’s is based. Max's family 
have been producing wine in the Douro Valley for over two centuries.

Max couldn’t understand why Portuguese food & wine was so poorly 
represented in London and saw an opportunity to change that, opening Bar Douro London Bridge in November 2016 and Bar Douro City in January 2020.
