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?

My biggest qualm however is that they are pretty strict about the 2h dining time. Yet, service was slow the night I was there and food took forever to arrive so the entire dinner felt very rushed.

First impression was that the interior is really beautiful. Great decoration and ambiance throughout. I loved that they have a skylight in the roof, which during lunchtime provides a nice bit of sunshine. I went for their main attraction, the piri piri chicken and really liked it. Spicy, tender chicken on the bone with a good flavor to the sauce. I chose the chips as my side, and they were similar to McDonald's, but tasted more frozen and less fresh. I would avoid the chips. They have other sides that I'll be sure to try instead the next time I go. The presentation of the chicken was the only knock against it, it came on a plain ceramic plate without any garnish, bed of lettuce, or anything else. I really feel they need either some garnish on the plate, or a less plain plate. At Nando's or something I wouldn't mention it, but at these prices and put against the decor, it looks out of place without it. For my beverage I went with a pint of the Portuguese beer on draft and found it to be awesome - a great tasting beer served cold in a large mug. It went really great with the chicken. Still a bit hungry I went for dessert and had the tart which came with ice cream, it was a really nice presentation and very, very good. The tart was just the right amount of sweetness, and very light and flaky. The ice cream was great too. Interestingly the highlight of the meal for me was actually the service. Magdalena was my waitress, and also seated me. She continued to check in and make sure I had everything I needed the whole time I was there. Really wonderful service with a smile, she's a gem. Overall I liked this place, but for the prices they are charging I feel they really need to step up their game on their food presentation, and also maybe swap in freshly made thick cut chips for their current tasteless skinny ones. I would have given it three stars if it wasn't for the excellent service, beer, taste of the chicken, and decor which I found to be pretty enjoyable.

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.

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!!
