Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but I'm sure they serve some Portuguese food at the very least. This musing was brought on by a visit to the Windmill Restaurant in Walthamstow High Street - a local institution and one of the best value, tasty tapas places ever.
They serve gorgeous food in cute little clay pots - so not posh but to be honest, I don't mind as this is a regular venue for a weekday meal rather than a swanky night out. They serve wine and beer (Sagras for connoisseur) which for this end of Walthamtow is a little unusual as quite a few restaurants are Halal.
I had chorizo potatoes (crispy roasties with salty bits of fried goodness), sweet and sour mushrooms (would genuinely at least lend a cat if not sell one for this recipe) and bacalou. The last is cod cream which is the national dish of Portugal and really lovely (of course if you like fish)
Other stunning dishes are the patatas bravas, peri peri chicken (home made rather than Nandos), roasted vegetables and chorizo on fire (can't remember what this is called). Well worth a try if you are in E17 and love tapas
