Windmill Tapas Restaurant

Very pleasant place been several times lots of fresh & tasty dishes in relaxed informal setting. Can get busy like all good places, very good indeed having eaten in Portugal & Maderia it certainly is as good as if not better.

We first visited about 3 months ago and we love it. We live in Dagenham and travel on the Barking to Gospel Oak train.

The food is delicious (and the deserts are gorgeous) and the prices are very reasonable. We love the lunchtime atmosphere and the evening atmosphere.

We also like having the choice of bringing your own wine.

We can't visit often enough.

Had another good evening last night at The Windmill and restuarant was very busy. Great atomasphere and very good Tapas . Garlic Prawns were huge. Four Tapas was more than enough to for my husband and I. The owners are very welcoming to families with small children.

I noted that they only charge £2 corkage if you take your own wine.

During the day it is a cafe and the coffee is very good. Homemade desserts always are very tempting.

Above anything the service is top class! The atmosphere is lively and friendly. Even better in the evening due to the lack of yummy mummies and screaming brats. Wether the food is authentic or not doesn't really matter that much. Portuguese food is best in Portugal as is Indian food in India. All cuisines adapt to their host country and I as a Portuguese national find it great to even find something that vaguely resembled a little taste of home. The dishes are varied, generous and affordable. A little oasis in Walthamstow!

It took me four years to find this place despite living only 10mins walk away. But now I go as often as possible. The menu is brimming over with tasty dishes. It's relaxed and easy-going and you can stay as long as you want. Perfect for groups and just as good for a twosome.

Oh, and they do a decent Full English in the mornings. And the beer tastes great.

Hats off, Jose!

This restaurant just keeps on giving! After staying away for a few months as I was getting seriously addicted to the Piri Piri prawns, my partner and I visited the Windmill again last Friday. What a lovely surprise to see new additions to the menus (may I recommend the sweet spare ribs - pure melt in the mouth heaven), and a great new cocktail list. The house Rose was sublime, and at £2.90 fo a glass you can't go wrong. We were utterly full after ordering 6 tapas dishes (always order the sardines - they are cooked to perfection!).

The bill came to £15 each - unbelievable value!!! The owners are always attentive and truly appreciate feedback - no wonder they can do no wrong! This is the best Portuguese restaurant in London - a true gem for East London!

Went to restaurant last week and going there tonight with family, the food is so good, the beef was so tender melted in your mouth, i can't say how amazing the food is, go there now, didn't bother me that there was no booze license, just went to the shop and bought a bottle and that made the meal cheaper, also an expresso 99p! Great service.
