As a country with a strong Mediterranean influence and a bountiful coast, the Portuguese have incorporated a lot of fresh fish, olive oil and herbs into their cuisine, which is becoming increasingly popular in London. Try it for yourself, and treat a friend or loved one for a second opinion – this three-course lunch or dinner for two includes a glass of wine each at the O Cantinho de Portugal. An intimate restaurant, the decor is very simple, clean and honest; the focus is definitely on the fare. Each course offers a vegetarian, a fish and a meat option, freshly-prepared and cooked; the two desserts are panna cotta and tiramisu, which are international favourites - you’ll be licking your lips and praising the food in no time.
