Here are the the latest Oporto menu prices:

Oporto’s History

The first Oporto was founded in 1986 by António Cerqueira. Cerqueira is an Australian with Portuguese descent who hails from North Bondi, New South Wales, Australia.

Originally, the restaurant was named Portuguese Style Bondi Charcoal Chicken. Cerqueira later changed the restaurant name to “Oporto”, naming it after his favorite football team, FC Porto.

The first franchise store was opened in 1995, and in January of 2005, it was named the fastest-growing franchise in Australia. By 2007, there were locations all over Australia. There were 100 locations in New South Wales, 14 locations in Queensland, 8 locations in Victoria, 5 locations in the Australian Capital Territory, and 5 locations in South Australia. Additionally, there are 6 locations in New Zealand.

International Expansion

Since its founding in 1986, Oporto has made quite the international expansion. 

It first dipped its toes in international waters in 2009, when it opened a restaurant in London’s Victoria Station in the UK. In 2011, it opened its first restaurant in the US in Rancho Cucamonga, California. While the UK location eventually closed and the US locations were later turned into Feisty Chickens, there are still many Oportos outside of Australia and New Zealand. 

Nowadays, you can find Oportos in Vietnam, Singapore, India, and the UK. They also just opened a store in Sri Lanka, and they previously used to have locations in China. Currently, Oporto is looking to expand into the Middle East. 

Additionally, there are now over 150 locations across Australia and New Zealand. 

The Oporto Menu

Now that you know a bit about the history of Oporto, let’s take a deep dive into some of their menu items. 

Burgers 

Oporto is perhaps most well-known for their burgers, with their signature burger being the Bondi burger.

Is the Bondi burger healthy?

Well, it depends on how you order it. The regular Bondi burger is made of three fresh-grilled chicken breast fillets, cheese, lettuce, mayo, and Oporto’s signature chili sauce. This burger comes in at 617 calories, 34.3 grams of fat, and 1150 mg of sodium. 

When you considered that the average adult needs around 2000 calories per day, you can see that 617 is quite a big portion of your daily caloric needs. 

However, you can trim down on the calories and fat by ordering a single or a double fillet instead of the typical triple. The single fillet comes in at just 300 calories and 16.6 grams of fat, while the double filet comes in at 511 calories and 28 grams of fat. 

Additionally, you can cut down on calories by asking for the burger without mayo or without cheese. 

Other burger options on the menu include:

• Chicken and cheese burger
• Chicken BLT burger
• Otropo burger
• Oprego burger

Otropo even offers a vegetarian burger and a vegan burger. The veggie burger consists of a veggie patty, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and lemon and herb sauce. The vegan burger consists of a pea and herb patty, avocado, tomato, tomato and capsicum relish, and mixed leaves. 

Chicken

Along with burgers, chicken is perhaps Oporto’s biggest menu item. You can buy both flame-grilled chicken and grilled chicken tenders from Oporto. 

The flame-grilled chicken is lightly basted in their legendary chili sauce and you have five sauce choices with the grilled chicken tenders. 

Wraps and Salads

Oporto offers a variety of wraps and salads, all of which are chicken-based. These include the:

• Pulled Chicken Bowl
• Chicken Salad
• Pulled Chicken RapSnacker
• Chicken Rappa
• Pulled Chicken Wrap
• Chicken RapSnacker 

Brekkie

Oporto serves brekkie, known to the rest of the world as breakfast. They offer several breakfast sandwiches, including the Chicken and Egg Deluxe, the Bacon and Egg Burger, and the Chicken and Egg Burger. 

They also offer hashbrowns and their Oporto Big Breakfast, which consists of two eggs, sizzling bacon, grilled Portuguese tomato salad, and toasted pita bread. 

Bites and Snacks 

Oporto also has an extensive bites and snacks menu for those looking for a side dish for their main meal or for those just looking for a small bite. 

Bites and Snacks menu items include:

• Jalapeno bites
• Chili cheese chips 
• Crispy chicken strips
• Chicken bolas

Dessert 

Oporto also has a dessert menu! Popular dessert menu items include passionfruit donuts, hazelnut donuts, salted caramel donuts, churros, and chocolate mousse. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Now, let’s answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the Oporto food chain. 

Question: Is Oporto Halal? 

Answer: Technically, the chickens Oporto receives from their supplier are certified halal. However, Oporto stores themselves are not certified halal. 

Question: Are Oporto burgers healthy?

Answer: This really depends on the type of burger you get. As we mentioned earlier, a single fillet Bondi burger is low in calories, fat, and sodium. With every burger on the menu (minus the veggie and vegan), you can opt for a single filet, which will bring the calorie, fat, and sodium content down. 

Question: Is Oporto gluten-free?

Answer: Oporto does not guarantee that any of their products are gluten-free. However, some salads and other menu items have ‘no added’ gluten to them. 

Question: Does Oporto use free-range eggs?

Answer: Oporto makes every effort to use free-range eggs. However, if there’s a shortage or inability to supply, they’ll use cage-free eggs instead. 

Question: Does Oporto sell coffee?
