Tendido Cero was such a standout experience in South Kensington. I dined alone on a Friday night…read morewithout a reservation (my own fault), after being turned away at a few other spots. The manager here was incredibly kind and managed to seat me between reservations anyway, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, I didn't quite finish my meal in time before the next party arrived, but instead of rushing me, they graciously moved me to the bar so I could enjoy my dessert. What really struck me was the atmosphere. While I was sitting there, several people popped in just to say hello to the staff, which speaks volumes about how welcoming and family-esque this place feels. Hands down some of the best wait staff I've experienced. The food was fantastic. I had the ham croquettes, white wine, and churros with chocolate and having just been in Barcelona recently, I can honestly say this was the closest I've found to authentic tapas in London. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in London. A gem of a place with heart, hospitality, and incredible food.

A glass of wine each, lemon tart, coffee. Not cheap at £142 inc tip, but that's London for you...and I do hate paying for still water! Great atmosphere, busy, not pushy bit attentive...enjoyable evening; will not leave it so long next time. Sorry about the photos, too busy enjoying the food to remember

Back in London and today I had time to visit with a friend (a local) who booked the table for…read morelunch. A pleasant smaller venue in the nice part of Chelsey / Knightsbridge area. When we entered the restaurant we were the only people seated. Outside a two-top the whole time we were seated. Felt a tad strange. Given menus ( see pic) to peruse and excited to try food I'd never eaten before. Portuguese but mixed with African, Brazilian, some Italian etc. Variations of seafood, chicken, meat as those countries would prepare it. We opted to do four appetizers vs Mains to sample the country focus of the menu. Started with a drink that resembled a wine spritzer. A white Portuguese port with lemon, elderberry, sparkling water(?)-- lots of ice. Refreshing. A lot of time passed to get that drink despite the restaurant being empty. Strange. Then an equal amount of time to get the Apps. 2 at a time. They were quite tasty. I thought the food should be a "4" but the pacing, service a "3"-- the server was very friendly and seems it was the kitchen that was slow. I would go again to try other different dishes. This was a Michelin " Mention" in 2024. Apparently moving out of Covent Garden changed their Michelin status, Quien Sabe?

We went for cataplana, which we have come to love since our trip to Lisbon. The food was great and…read morewe were thrilled to have found a Portuguese restaurant not too far from home. The seafood was ample and fresh. The broth felt a bit thicker than what I had locally, but it was all solid. Service was okay. They brought things out promptly, but I felt the staff were quite dry sometimes -- perhaps, because they were so busy on a Friday evening. Ambience was spacious and very local. We saw a lot of who seemed to be locals to the neighbourhood and Portuguese people too -- authentic but not the poshest decor.

I am from Hamburg, Germany, originally where you have Portuguese restaurants everywhere. My partner…read moreis Portuguese. So we were searching desperately for a nice Portuguese restaurant in London. We prefer to eat meat more than fish but a lot of Portuguese restaurants focus on fish. The Oceano has both: Fish and meat dishes. I love their black pepper beefsteak. My partner enjoys their spicy chicken. His family visited us last weekend. His parents and his brother had fish and they loved it. It's a very nice family restaurant and very cheap for London as well. Most of the dishes cost less than 10 pounds. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. They don't really have a disabled toilet but the Ladies was big enough for my wheelchair.

It is so refreshing to have a decent eatery on Bedfont High Street, that isn't a Fast food joint. It has an alcohol license, so is always buzzing. The food is great, and is a mix of Portugese and english food. Having a beer with a cooked English breakfast, when your not feeling your best will soon sort you out after a night out!! Prices are reasonable, and the guys who work there are so friendly. I love going here during the weekend, as it has a real European atmosphere. If you are in the area check it out!
