Oporto, Westfield Plaza, Kotara, Newcastle NSW
Having just arrived I was quite hungry as it was early afternoon and I still had not eaten lunch. So I wandered up to the Food court in the Westfield Plaza in Kotara and decided to give Oporto a go since I had a good feeling for it and my stomach seemed to be crying out for an Oporto burger after a month or more without.
I was greeted by a polite young man who took my order appropriately and within a few minutes I was given my order by a girl who smiled and thanked me. First impressions always go a long way to enjoying your meal so I was glad to get my meal with a smile.
I sat down to eat my Oporto double fillet Bondi meal and I know I was quite hungry but believe me, this was the best Oporto meal I can remember ever eating and I have eaten at many Oporto stores in several countries and many times.
Starting with the chips – they were absolute perfect, large and beautifully cooked, hot, crunchy but fresh and tasty.
Then the burger – it was also fabulous, the bun was super fresh and cooked perfectly, the fillets were deliciously cooked, hot and tasted amazing. This all sat on a very fresh, thick bed of the absolute freshest and gorgeous lettuce. The burger was not greasy or smothered in sauces, it was just right. In fact I would expect this meal to have come from a top restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised, obviously they have some great chefs working behind the scenes there.

Oporto Bathurst St, Sydney
This centrally located Oporto has friendly staff and the food tasted as good as ever. Clen and tidy but quite close to the busy part of Sydney.

Oporto Hunter St? Newcastle, NSW
Very friendly staff, nice food but a little crowded seating. Only Oporto in the main part of the city in Newcastle so it’s popular. I ate a new Fiesty burger but had wished I had ordered to regular Oporto burger as I enjoy the special flavour from the chilli sauce.
I went to the mid city plaza Oporto in Sydney city today for lunch. The funny thing with Oporto is that I have been going there for many years but have only ever ordered burgers. Today I opted for something a little different and something I should have ordered many times before, that is chicken + Chips. Yes I decided to be different and daring and too the plunge in taking on a quarter of Oporto chicken with chips and a coke as in a meal deal for $8.
I was pleasantly delighted with my meal, it was absolutely delicious with or without the accompanying chili sauce I selected to come with my order. You can select from a variety of the Oporto sauces. The meal was great, the chicken was juicy, crispy, a good size and tasty. The fries were ok too. I will definitely be ordering more chicken meals like this. Let’s just hope they can serve organic farm chicken in the future….
The woman who served me was friendly too.
