Wine and Bread is a warm, family-run Portugese restaurant in Hendon, North London, with extremely reasonable prices. We have eaten there on several occasions and love the fact that the food is simple, honest and home-cooked. The atmosphere is warm and informal (but great for a romantic meal). Share a Cataplana De Ameijoas com Carne - a really tasty and hearty disk of clams with chorico, bacon, pork and potatoes. We also love the home-made desserts (we had a chocolate and coffee moose last time, which was fantastic).

But that is not where it ends. We noticed that the restaurant has a separate section at the back - a narrow but long section with beautiful decor and enough room to seat 20 diners. So I had my 30th birthday there! And it was fantastic! Kadir and Marcia did everything possible to help. They supplied a really tasty hot and cold mixed buffet. But they have also thought of the little touches that make special occasions special - such as having an MP3 player that takes memory sticks, so all you need to do is bring your favorite music on a USB stick and you're sorted. The same goes for a memory stick with photos on (Kadir helped us set up a slideshow on the large TV they have in the private area).

As you probably can tell, I can't praise Wine and Bread highly enough! Kadir and Marcia are just so friendly and welcoming, the food is simple, home-cooked and tasty and my birthday was a huge success because they took the time to discuss my every requirement with me.

I can't get enough of Wine and Bread! Every time I go there, the lovely owners always make me feel welcome and manage to provide a personal touch to my dining experience, whether it be a candlelit dinner with my fiancee or whatever the occasion is. I would highly recommend the prawn starter and Cataplana main course which are both finger licking dishes, and have these every time I go. For anyone who has not been - they must make this place a date in their diary.
