🇬🇧 London Foodie Gem | Portuguese Seafood Feast in Battersea! 🦐🍚

Years ago, I fell in love with their giant seafood rice pot—this time, I explored their new menu hits (and rediscovered some classics). Here’s the full scoop! 🍽️ Must-Order Dishes: 🍞 Pre-Meal Bread Basket Warm, crusty bread + tuna pâté & butter = heaven. We almost filled up on this alone! 🤦🏻♀️ (No regrets.) 🐙 Octopus Seafood Rice (Daily Special) If the massive seafood pot is too much, this single-serving version is just as flavorful—packed with tender octopus and rich broth. Chef’s kiss! 👨🍳💋 🐟 Grilled Sardines Crispy skin, smoky flavor, and soft edible bones—zero throat-scratching worries! Perfect with a squeeze of lemon. 🍋 🐷 Hit-or-Miss: 🐖 Crispy Suckling Pig Melt-in-your-mouth texture, but too salty (even for cured meat fans). Pair with plain rice or bread to balance it out. The side chips were meh—fries would’ve been better. 🐷 Pig’s Ear Starter A rare find in Western cuisine! Tossed in garlic butter, but needed a vinegar kick (we DIY’d it). Pro tip: Mix in their spicy seafood rice chili oil for a flavor boost! 🌶️ 📍 The Details: Name: A Toca Restaurant Address: 341 Wandsworth Rd, London SW8 2JH 💰 £30-40pp (with drinks) 📝 Pro Tip: Stick to seafood—it never disappoints! Their Sangria is also divine. 🍷 💬 Your Turn! Would you go for the octopus rice or the classic seafood pot?
