Description

Oporto Cafe offers unusual wines and great snacks in a hip, relaxed, cozy atmosphere. The wine list features several selections from Italy and Portugal, and there are tapa-size portions of interesting dishes such as linguiça, the Portuguese sausage, empanadas, meatballs in a saffron-tomato sauce and a bacalhau (salt cod) croquette. Lunch includes excellent pizzas and panini sandwiches (try the Italiano, with lots of meats, provolone and arugula).

Spanish and Portuguese wines pair nicely with a diverse list of meats and cheeses. The small plates here are well apportioned, and the sangria is always a solid choice. Salada do mar, an interesting twist on ceviche, is fresh and generous, and daily specials are usually fantastic if you get there... More »

  • 2007 | Best Tapas

    If you're looking for a swanky wine bar that'll impress a date, Oporto is your place. The tapas here aren't snacks; they're huge. There's nothing better to nibble on while quaffing a glass of wine than the "Oportobello." It's a marinated portobello mushroom topped with spinach and artichoke gratin and finished with white truffle oil. If you're still hungry after that Texas-size "tapa," go for the linguiça oporto com batatas, a Portuguese-style sausage sautéed with onion,... More »

    The salada de bacalhau ($8) is one of the many tapas plates available at Oporto (3833 Richmond, 713-621-1114) after 5 p.m. It consists of dried, salted cod cooked in olive oil with potatoes and hard-boiled egg. Visually, it's hard to distinguish b... More »

    I have been going to Oporto since it opened I believe... It has always been great and the service I have received everytime has been spectacular. The tapas are absolutely delicious and well made. The atmosphere is perfect for a group, single or couple. The bar menu is wonderful and unique with many choices of wines and martinis. Love it!

    The food here is really excellent. The smoked salmon and pork vindaloo in particular are highlights.
