Great midtown restaurant

Feb 2020 • friends

It is becoming rare to find a restaurant that lasts more than ten years in Houston, which tells you they are doing something right. Especially when it is a Fri at 10 and the place is still packed. It was delicious from start to finish, I highly recommend the scallops, the seafood curry, and a charcuterie board. My minor complaint was that if you are sitting by the window the air blows really strong there, and I was freezing, but the server was so kind to let them know and they did turn it off for a bit.

Great even during a pandemic!

Apr 2020 • none

Their take out during the pandemic is amazing! Always one of our favorites we decided to venture downtown recently. First, ordering and pickup were like clock work and the most organized of any place I have seen (it warmed the cockles of this engineer's heart!). We ordered, paid and they have a yellow tent you pull up right at your time and they hand you the food. We then drove to a nice area near by for a picnic. Food, as we have always experienced at this place, was excellent and really hit the spot after a week of social distancing. Sitting on the grass, next to the dog and wife, eating great food...hey, pretty darn good considering!

Fantastic evening.

Jan 2020 • friends

We were a large group on a very busy Saturday night, but we were warmly welcomed and accommodated with excellent service. The good and wine was enjoyed by all and many were trying Portuguese plates for the first time. We particularly enjoyed the specials and the coconut ice cream was delicious. A very enjoyable experience.

NYE Dinner

Dec 2020 • none

We enjoyed a phenomenal New Years Eve Dinner at Oporto. Each dish came out the perfect time. Each dish was unique. We had the best time. Our waiter was also very helpful in discussing each of the menu items and meeting the needs of a larger group. Would like to go back next time we are in Houston!

Good Portuguese Restaurant

Jan 2021 • none

My family of 3 lived in Rio for a couple years and Oporto brought back memories of the better restaurants there. The ambiance was very nice and the light smokey smell was great. I chose this restaurant for our family dinner because I was looking for a good octopus dish. I had an amazing octopus pasta dish in Angola West Africa at a Portugese restaurant and its still memorable for how good it was. Well Oporto's Polvo com batatas (octopus and potatoes) was eh, the rest of the dinner was much enjoyed. My teenage daughter loved the Rigatoni Barcelona and the London Curry. They had some nice wine choices at a reasonable price. We went with the servers recommendation and order 2-3 dishes per person to share, which ended up being 7 dishes for the 3 of us plus an appetizer and bread. It was spendy, about $200 before tip. We could barely walk we were so full. We'll be back and order less. My daughter says this is her new favorite restaurant. I'd recommend this restaurant to a friend. Service was excellent.

Memories of Portugal

Mar 2022 • none

I luckily found this spot after doing a quick search for good happy hour specials. Their HH menu is incredible and their dinner entree prices are on spot. The food brought me memories of my trip to Portugal since all of my favorite Portuguese specialties are offered. The restaurant offers complimentary valet parking starting at 5p. The HH runs from 3-6:30pm which is plenty of time to taste many great small dishes. I truly enjoyed the caprese salad, the salmon avocado tartine but my favorite was the grilled octopus with batatas bravas. Of course I couldn't wrap the evening up without having a traditional pastel de nata, absolutely delicious. The music playing in the background is pleasant and loungy, reminding me of mixtures of Brazilian, Spanish and Portuguese beats. This place is great for a dinner with friends and also for business dinners.

Very creative

Jun 2020 • couples

This was my first visit to this restaurant and it is now one of my favorites. It’s a Portuguese spin on tapas and there are so many choices. We had the sausage, piri piri shrimp, lamb, potatoes, and more. This is some of the best food I’ve had anywhere and I travel a lot! The drinks are equally creative so try a few. The only downside was that it took them 20 minutes to realize we were seated at a table, but otherwise, the service was great

Will Become a Regular on our Rounds

Aug 2021 • none

We used to frequent Oporto at a previous location & had forgotten all about it. What a colossal mistake that has been. The food is delicious & well presented, the cocktails are really something to write home about, & the service was attentive & informative. The space is well & efficiently laid out. Parking is easy (in the garage just a few meters down the street).

Upscale Portuguese themed is excellent

Oct 2020 • friends

I’ve driven by this place many times and never noticed it. Located in midtown, it has both an outside patio area and a large open area inside. They’re doing a good job with Covid protocols so have no concerns about that. The restaurant features all sorts of appetizers, large dishes, etc with a Portuguese/Spanish flair. If you like tapas, you’ll like this place. Excellent service from the staff too. They also have a nice bar area too so this would be a good place to grab a drink too. It reminded me a lot of my trip to Portugal last year. I will definitely be going back to this place !

Excellent service and vegan options

May 2023 • couples

A beautifully presented restaurant in midtown. Very close to our airbnb, they have a comprehensive menu with many vegetarian options and several that can be adapted to vegan. Enough that we ate there both nights we stayed in Houston. The chefs are talented, and the presentation is good. The wait staff went out of their way both nights to provide personalized service. We loved the ambiance and total dining experience. So refreshing to get away from the deep-fried culture.

Tapas in Houston

Aug 2023 • family

My family indulged me on my birthday as I was relentlessly looking for tapas. We had spent a month last year traveling through Portugal and Spain where I was in heaven with all the tapas, but never was able to connect with the ephemeral grilled sardines. Oporto had them, they were just what I was looking for. We also enjoyed batatas bravas, although a tad bold for our granddaughter. The adults all ordered the seafood curry which was delicious. And the mussels were nice and plump and I must add I drained the bowl for the tomatoe based sauce they were served in.....I almost resorted to licking the bowl but refrained. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Best Sangria!

Nov 2019 • none

One of our favorite dinner/date night spots in Houston! The atmosphere is warm, romantic, and inviting; the staff are very nice & welcoming; the food is awesome; the sangria (specifically red) is BOMB. Our favorite items to order: Salada Atlantico, Piri Piri BBQ Chicken, Polvo Com Batatas, and the Brócoli pizzette (sub mozarella for ricotta). All the drinks are super delicious, but highly recommend a carafe of the red sangria!

Don’t let this place define Portuguese Food for you!

Sep 2024 • friends

The food was awful. The tomato sauce for the goat cheese plate tasted like it was out of the can and it was cold. The Bacalhau A Gomes De Sa was extremely salty beyond what is normally associated with the dish and for some reason contained Portuguese sausage. Why? Ruins the dish. The fusions were a disappointment because they did not accentuate the taste of the ingredients for which Portuguese food is well-known. I wanted to try a dessert and the waiter told me straight out, the customers who have come here and are Portuguese hated our pastel de nata, you might want to try something else. Good call! The sad part is that people who have never tried Portuguese food are going to this restaurant, being disappointed and then thinking they do not like Portuguese food. No folks! You don’t like the food made at this restaurant. I promise you - you will never regret Portuguese food.

Oporto

Sep 2024 • friends

This place had amazing lamb ribs! Omg so yum! Scallops were great too! The recommendations I was given were great except for the dessert cocktail was a little much for me. The Carajillo. Caipirinha was okay. I’ve also had them in Brazil. I’ll stick to my normal wine next time. Friend had rocket salad she loved, bbq chicken she said was too spicy, and her ice cream was supposed to come with chocolate shavings, which there were none… but the service was excellent! He knew the menu well! It’s a cute place I just wish there was more free parking around that area. Wish there were more booth style tables instead of the hard chairs. I would definitely go here again though.

Excellent meal - Do your tastebuds a favor and eat there!

Feb 2024 • couples

One of the best meals I have had in the last year. We were in Houston for the Eagle’s concert and the hotel front desk person recommended this restaurant. We were lucky enough to have a young lady named Michelle A.as our server. She took the time to make recommendations and explain the dishes. I highly recommend the Scallop Farrotto - the scallops were cooked perfectly and the bed of deliciousness they sat on so Yummy. We also had the crab and avocado crostini so fresh! My husband had the Camaros Piri Piri and he thoroughly enjoyed them! We shared the batatas bravas and oh so many flavors together! Overall this was an excellent dinner! Again thank you to our server because had she not taken the time to explain we wouldn’t have the chance to try all of these tasty dishes! If we get back to Houston we will be having a meal (or two) there!
