Description

About us:

Bar Douro shares the spirit of Portugal with the UK, through Honest Food, Characterful Wine and Cultural Stories. Our cooking channels the simplicity, humility, and soul of traditional Portuguese home cooking, a less-is-more approach that lets the ingredients speak for themselves. Our extensive wine list, the largest Portuguese selection in the UK, champions the country's most pioneering producers, from celebrated estates to cutting-edge growers.

Beyond the plate and the glass, we share Portugal's dynamic culture through the experiences we create and the stories we tell. At Bar Douro, our values guide everything we do. They reflect our deep respect for Portuguese culture and our commitment to delivering experiences that are authentic, consistent and heartfelt. These principles shape how we work as a team and how we welcome every guest, ensuring each moment feels thoughtful, genuine and memorable.

Bar Douro Soho opens in October 2026 at 10 Greek Street, a return to the street where our London story began. Joining now means being part of the team that shapes this restaurant from day one.
