Having moved to this larger location from its original one on Richmond Avenue near Weslayan, Oporto specializes in “small plates” featuring the wonderful cuisine of Portugal. Oporto is special, and the flavors and variety of dishes is unsurpassed. Prices are reasonable, and so are the wines from the same region which complement so well the dishes. An evening here is best if everyone orders two or three plates and everyone shares, which makes for a fun party. Valet or garage parking, or some street parking nearby.
