PortSide Parlour (Shoreditch)

• I went to Portside Parlour when they were but a pop up on Broadway Market
• Small and dark with a naval flavour
• I really liked the place and was keen to see how they&rsquo
• Now they have a tapas menu of food which is worth visiting for on its own
• I had the pork belly with caperberry vinaigrette and chicken pastries with a sweet and sour style dip
• Stephen was completely enamoured with his octopus
• The cod cheeks were also really nice
• They came with a salsa verde and were in croquette form
• A good crunch on the outside with the lovely light flesh in the middle
• The chicken pastries were a bit like thin spring rolls with not that much chicken in them
• The pork belly was delicious (when is it not
• ) I enjoyed the sweet puree it came with in its own right
• The vinaigrette was lovely but they really need to rethink how they serve this
• As the plate was placed all the vinaigrette kept running off &ndash
• The lighting was low and we were sat at the bar which was uneven
• My favourite was the Micah 4
• To follow I had the Emigre which was like an adult float
• Stephen had wanted the calamartini which is flavoured with squid ink but that wasn&rsquo
• T available so he had to make do with an Into the Woods
• Portside Parlour have a very cool gadget which I suspect they love to play with it got a lot of use when we were there &ndash
