Aussie Oporto at CCC
View(s):After months of anticipation following the announcement of its arrival three months ago, the much-loved Australian flame-grilled chicken franchise, Oporto, opened its doors to fans here in Sri Lanka, on Tuesday the 16th October.
Located at the Food Studio’s Atrium, the innovative new dining construct of the recently-opened Colombo City Centre(CCC), the Aussie brand finds itself in the company of the city’s best gastronomical offerings. Food Studio’s Atrium was designed with the intention of catering to the new generation of the culinary-inclined, and currently houses 15 outlets offering both authentic local and international fare. From Singaporean to Indian, Western to Indonesian. Patrons already spoilt for choice now have yet another delicious option to choose from.
Known for its signature brand of flame-grilled chicken infused with its own unique blend of Portuguese-influenced chilli sauce, Oporto’s selection of appetisers, entrees, and desserts, are a perfect match for the Sri Lankan palete. The eatery’s trademark Bondi burger will have lips smacking, alongside mouth-watering wraps, salads, rice bowls and sides. Further, customers already familiar with the brand’s signature taste are guaranteed a 100% bona fide Oporto experience; the local culinary team having just returned from specialist training in Australia.
In partnership with franchiser Ataraxia Capital Partners, Oporto’s entry into the country is only the second opening in its foray into Asia –the first being an outlet in Singapore. With a network of over 165 outlets across Australia alone, the team is certain of its success in Sri Lanka, for the quick service restaurant has yet another outlet planned for the Food Atrium of The Shangri-La’s One Mall scheduled to open in Colombo early next year.
Customers can find Oporto at the lower level of The Food Studio at the Colombo City Centre. – (SW)
