Douro - Tours

It is always a pleasure to return to the Douro. We love the busy atmosphere and the friendly attentive service. The octopus dish is one of my favourites but we have never been disappointed.

Returning to Le Douro after a gap of some years we were delighted to find Tonio, le Patron, still ensconced by the bar serving white port and chatting to all and sundry. The food is like the welcome warm, unpretentious and very good! We chose, from a list of dishes of the day, an excellent grilled octopus and a very good cuttle fish, complemented by a glass of vinho verde, chilled and with natural spritz, followed by two good coffees each. Best to arrive early or book, for the restaurant is very often full with friendly habitués who add to the warm and pleasant atmosphere.

Where he's good to live, the bosses are friends. The biker atmosphere, but not that. I recommend

Dishes always as good, authentic since the love of their country to make us taste the Portuguese specialties made home. milk, cod, bitoque and delicious nata pasta (flan.) taio the boss, a character. well from there and at the same time good French who will miss us and his team because it reduces the curtain for a well-deserved retreat.

Here's a cool place or a good time. and not miss the bikers aero on the third Friday of the month.
