Pico Bar, Vauxhall, SE1

Larger than expected Portuguese bar / restaurant underneath the railway arches north of Vauxhall station. The drinks counter is at street level, with the larger dining area beyond and set down a few steps. An open seating area can also be found between the pavement and the main road. In addition to a few standard keg beers, this place serves the more appropriate Sangres and Super Bock (£4.95). As an aside, I noted that most of the conversation was in Portuguese, so that's usually a good sign if looking for that cuisine, and the staff were welcoming.
