Oporto's founder Antonio Cerqueira opened his first Portuguese-style chicken restaurant in North Bondi in 1986, stunning the locals' taste-buds and quickly gaining a growing army of fans. That first splash of Antonio's secret and now legendary addictive sauces grew into a wave of great taste that now satisfies millions of people a year! It's not just the chicken that's different at Oporto. We're Aussie through and through - with the genuinely friendly and relaxed atmosphere you'd expect from a 100% Australian owned company. Add a strict adherence to the very highest standards of freshness and quality, the secret sauces and fresh-not-frozen, grilled-not-fried chicken and chicken burgers and it's no wonder Oporto is so deliciously ...irresistible!
The menus clearly state that halal food is served. From the management: 'While the chickens we receive are Halal certified, meaning preparation is prescribed by Muslim law, from our supplier Summertime, Oporto stores are not Halal certified. We have procedures in place to ensure separation and correct handling occurs, but we are unable to guarantee no cross contamination between chicken and non-Halal products occur during our cooking processes. If you're interested, the following products are Halal certified from our supplier Summertime: Whole Chicken, Fillets, Bites and Grilled Tenders. Please note that our Spicy Chicken Bolas are not Halal certified.

Worst Oporto Experience at Bathurst !! I ordered a large pulled chicken loaded chips through the drive-through about 2 weeks ago. I paid for extra cheese and chili sauce, but the portion I received was actually less than normal. On top of that, I had to wait over 20+ minutes in the drive-through, which completely defeats the purpose of fast service. The server explained that since it was late, the fryer had been turned off and food was made to order—I understood that and didn’t mind. However, when I visited the store this week for dine-in and ordered the same item, I mentioned my previous experience to the staff. Instead of showing understanding or even a simple apology, the server was rude. She said she remembered giving me the drive-through order (amazing memory btw) and that I “should have come back to show the food.” Honestly, it’s unrealistic to expect customers to drive all the way back after discovering the issue at home. A polite “sorry about that” would have been enough, but the attitude and response I received were disappointing. To make matters worse, the loaded chili chips I ordered this time again lacked enough chicken, despite paying extra. At this point, rather than complain in-store, I feel it’s better to leave my feedback here with the picture. Overall, both the food portions and the customer service were well below expectations. More than the food its about how they handled the situation.
