Fresh and spicy, Oporto comes to CC
Australia’s much loved fresh- grilled chicken and burger franchise Oporto, is here in Colombo, opening its doors to Sri Lankan fast food fans.
Being a Portuguese themed ‘dine –in’ and ‘take-away’ restaurant, Oporto is popular for its very own Portuguese style chicken and burger recipes. The brand name Oporto coming from Porto, a Portuguese city was founded back in 1986 by Antonio Cerqueira, of Australian Portuguese descent.
Oporto opened their flagship restaurant in Colombo City Centre on October 16. Bryce Hutchesson, Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka was present.
Oporto’s unique grilled chicken infused with Portuguese Chili Sauce, burgers, wraps, salads, rice bowls and sides serve the culinary preferences of Sri Lankan fast food lovers.
Ataraxia Capital Partners is the franchise collaborator of Oporto. Oporto has another outlet planned in Rajagiriya soon and at The Shangri-La next year.
“Oporto is an exciting brand, as back in the days in Australia we loved to visit Oporto when craving for something spicy, grilled and fresh. We managed to bring the same experience to Sri Lanka for which we are really proud,” says Sharad Sri, Co-Founder and Partner, Ataraxia Capital Partners.
Being a fresh, spicy, Portuguese food brand, Oporto believes that Sri Lankans would love their food having traits of Portuguese heritage integrated in the local cultures.
“Our original Chilli sauce is a family recipe coming from generations which is unique and tasty. We look forward a long career in Sri Lanka as a key international destination, serving the best hamburgers, chicken and chips,” says Craig Tozer, CEO Oporto.
Oporto’s signature Bondi Burger is served with fresh- grilled chicken breast fillets, crisp lettuce, cheese, creamy mayo and Oporto’s very own original chilli sauce. Oprego Burger is a perfect combination of grilled chicken breast fillets, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, cheese, mayo and Oporto’s tangy prego sauce.
