Porta in Salford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great selection of Tapas. Every offering was a winner.

Gorgeous food and ambiance ! Really enjoyed our visit here and will certainly be back ❤️ thank you xx

Tapas done right! Great food, drinks and service. Hidden gem on the edge of the city centre. Worth a visit!

Excellent food. Excellent vibes. Excellent service. We tried some 10 dishes, my favourites: 1) the quince and cheese dish. Just phenomenal 2) Padron peppers were solid 3) Loved the tomato salad The meat dishes were really good too. My favourite was the Iberico slices (pink), followed by the Chorizo and then the chicken. That said though, these are the priciest options so could drop them if you’re interested in trying more food. The patatas bravas were okay. My least favourite was the confit peppers.

Good food, nice wine, excellent service, buzzing warm atmosphere, reasonable prices. Recommended.

Been here a couple of times. Always very friendly and the food is delicious. Great variety available and daily specials too. Good if you want a light lunch or something more substantial.

Great unfussy meal here. Service very keen & friendly, our server was lovely. Ordered a selection of smaller dishes which arrived quickly & straightforwardly. All very tasty. Their no bookings policy worked great for us on Saturday night for a walk up Brilliantly positioned across from the New Oxford pub too.

Lovely place and amazing food! I have been a few times there for a beer after work. I definitely recommend it!

Just had a great time at Porta - great service and fantastic food - the broccoli dish was outstanding can't recommend Porta enough.

Lovely place. Really good food, great glass of wine and excellent service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant Top service Gluten free menu available & patas bravas cooked in separate fryer Very tasty food! Lots of options for ceoliac & lactose intolerant

We had a disappointing visit despite its high ratings and reviews here. Prawns were a little mushy and not fresh. The seared pork was slightly raw; I had some trouble cutting through it. We also ordered other dishes but none stood out; everything was very salty and not particularly tasty. There are some good tapas places around but unfortunately Porta is not one of them.

Absolutely fantastic..great food, great service. What more can you ask for. We walked in and were given a table immediately at 730pm on a Saturday night. Really busy, but food arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic food, chicken thighs were amazing. And the pork as always stunning.

Just happened to call in on the way home. Staff were everywhere, and by that I mean, we didn't wait for anything, all the staff were really attentive. Food was fabulous, great prices for the amazing quality. Inside and outside seating, which was nice in the sun. Great place will DEFINITELY visit again. Thanks.

My friends and I visited this lovely tapas restaurant over the weekend and we had an amazing experience. The food is very tasty, with our personal favourite being the octopus which was cooked to perfection, the staff are very friendly and professional, the service is very quick even when busy and the atmosphere is very cosy. It’s slightly hidden away in an area that’s a short walk from the city centre and you can’t book in advance so I’d advise going earlier to get a spot! Definitely one I’ll the best tapas I’ve had in Manchester and I will be coming back!

Very nice atmosphere and service. However, the food was a bit disappointing, padrón peppers were slightly undercooked, and the “sangria” was definitely overpriced for what you get. I enjoyed the king prawns though.

Excellent food, great service from smiling waiter. My husband is hard of hearing and we requested to move away from the speaker. There wasn't another available table for four but the waiter had no hesitation in turning the music down instead, very thoughtful.

I knew by the font that this would be a good coffee shop and I was right. Free stickers too! 🤘

An amazing little restaurant. Friendly service and quick delivery of food. The food was amazing! Not a huge menu, but what they do, they do well. For two adults for 7 mains and a bottle of wine it was £86. Would highly recommend.

Such a great place! The food was amazing and so was the sangria. Will definitely be visiting again.

Can't say I've had better tapas in Manchester. Superb food and great service, don't think twice if you like Spanish food.

Best one in Manchester (for me :D ) First time I went and I think was really nice ! Good service and amazing food !! Will definitely come back ! Good price too ! Was around £25 per person for 7 plates to share between 2 so good deal ! I really enjoyed it ! I’ll be back ! And I love the outside table ! With the sunny day was great !

Pros Good environment and location. Cons Service very poor. Service vs cost (service included) is not in line whatsoever. Wine glass 125m is not even a small glass and has got the price of a 175ml. Carafe is now the price of a bottle. Food really basic. I ordered 6 tapas. It is really nonesense to highlight the dishes. In addition to that, the Jamon Iberico is not Jamon Iberico. The presentation was as if you were having cheap prosciutto. Very very disappointing. I’d rather invite my guests to my living. No idea what the other posts are talking about.

Went here as a walk in and would say it’s probably the best tapas restaurant in Salford/manchester. It’s in a slightly hidden away area unlike the ones in the city centre but the interior is nice and warming, service is also exceptional. The winning dish out of the ones we ordered was the king prawns which were fresh and huge!! The other tapas we ordered were also great, slightly on the dearer side but so are most tapas restaurants nowadays. Also appreciate the walk ins only so it’s not mass pre booked several days in advance. Would go again!

The staff were all exceptional, had great recommendations and conversation. We both felt very welcomed and the team alone are a good enough reason to return! The food was sensational, authentic, and reasonably priced. Can’t wait till next time!

Where do I start - from entering the gorgeous restaurant in a lovely setting, a 10 minute walk from Manchester City Centre - it was a very quaint place with the atmosphere of actually being in a Spanish tapas in Spain, only to be in Salford on Chapel Street. A beautiful dining experience with a fantastic array of fine wines and variety of drinks. Now here where it gets better - the menu, a fantastic selection of tapas. The chef’s and waiters were so kind and patient, giving an excellent service, even on a busy raining Good Friday. The food was delicious and excellent. Everything we ordered was exquisite - we couldn’t find fault with a single thing we experienced. We had tortillas, tender-stem broccoli, padron peppers, tomatoe salad, chicken thighs, croquettes, gambas and patatas bravas. All cooked to perfection! This was definitely a 5 star experience! A gorgeous restaurant - Would definitely recommend Porta and now a firm favourite of ours 👍

The best tapas in Manchester at very reasonable prices. Possibly the best restaurant in Salford. Go to the Kings Arms or New Oxford for a pint beforehand.

Pretty tasty and good value for money

Excellent spot for anyone who loves tapas. Not greasy and better than some I’ve had in Spain 🤩

Love this place - we went there for our daughter's 21st birthday and had a wonderful time. The service was really excellent and the food was fantastic - highly recommend 👌

Came here to eat solo. The staff were brilliant, attentive but not over bearing. Loved the open kitchen, especially when sat close. Worth coming for the tortilla alone. Better than I had in Madrid! Definitely be coming back again.

Lovely tapas. One of my favourite places to escape and taste great Spanish cuisine.

It was absolutely perfect. This place has been going a while now but every part of my first ever visit here was fantastic. Finally made it. Here to celebrate me and my partner’s anniversary, they didn’t disappoint. The food, particularly the crab croquetas, the prawns and the chorizo and lentil stew were just beautiful. The wine, lovely. The staff, AMAZING - so attentive, polite, friendly and really made a difference having that environment feel so positive. Will definitely be coming back.

Amazing! Great staff, amazing food, nice ambience, beautiful wine! What more do you need?

Yummy but small portion Dessert just normal Very few seat

Great restaurant, a good selection of different menu items to choose from. Excellent service, friendly and fast. Lovely atmosphere and the food and drink was quality!

Great atmosphere, welcomed as soon as we walked in, staff really friendly and attentive! offered drinks straight away and looked after throughout the night! the food was amazing especially the chicken thighs! overall a great experience and we will definitely be recommending and visiting again soon!

Lovely food and ambience friendly staff ! Very tasty food loved the chicken thighs. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening! Thank you

Fabulous food, friendly service and great atmosphere.

Perfect, food was gorgeous, not too expensive, staff were really lovely, will be going again.

First visit. What a find. Ben and the staff were amazing. The good was so good and the surroundings beautiful. Thanks for a great first time - especially thr gelp Ben gave us supportong my sister to get comfortable enough to enjoy her meal So thoughtful -we will definitely be back.

Just leaving on Christmas Eve after the most amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. As a family of 9 we had a wide range of tapas and just discussing which was our favourite but struggling to decide collectively. All delicious 😋 the staff are absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving us an incredible meal to kick start our Christmas, heading home now with full bellys

Good quality tapas in a pleasant setting. Staff were friendly and attentive.

We had a small area upstairs booked and it was beautiful. Service was fantastic. I would've preferred a better selection of food but I think ours may have been preselected. The worst thing for me was the stairs down to the toilet... not to be done in heels or if tipsy!

I went there for a colleagues' night out and what an experience it turned out to be. Tasty food and well presented. I can't praise the waiter enough though. He was very knowledgeable about the foods and even knew the answer to the origin of the coffee beans. I am a picky eater and was delighted to see that someone even knowing an answer to this question. Keep up the good work

Drove 2 hours to get to Porta for 8pm on Sunday to find it dark and closed! Has it closed down?

Porta tapas never fails to amaze me! Their pardon peppers, croquettes and patatas bravas can’t be faulted, absolutely delicious. Best tapas in town, undoubtedly. Feels like I am in Barcelona.

Food was excellent, most of the servers were lovely and welcoming. One server let them down, a young woman who was instantly cold and rude, changing the tone of the entire evening and ruining an otherwise great experience. We very politely let her know they sent the wrong drink over and she instantly started lecturing us and telling us we ordered the wrong thing (we hadn’t). We then saw her eyeing us for the rest of our time there, talking and pointing our way. Any time she came over she was just making everyone at the table feel uncomfortable.

Very nice place, very nice staff, food really nice, however one major frustration was, we had to make multiple compromises during our visit, as more than 3 of the most popular tapas dishes they didn't have! You would have thought they would make sure that they had plenty of the popular dishes, it wasn't busy at all when we visited, and the lack of the very tapas dishes we went for, spoilt our experience some what.

A hidden gem. Excellent food with an open kitchen allows you to see the whole process. Excellent staff with very good service.

Called in on the off chance at about 9 pm and got a table for 2. Lovely staff, great environment, and absolutely delicious food. Would highly recommend it and will definitely go back.

Visited Porta today. Food was delightful! Ordered the octopus, prawns, squid, chicken, tomato salad and dessert. All tasted incredible. Best tapas in Manchester. Will definitely revisit.

I have been to this restaurant multiple times and will go many more, it's a lovely cosy vibe with good food and decent prices. My recent visit motivated me to make a review, myself and a close friend went for a dinner date and Izzy (hope the spelling is right) was our server, she was so kind and lovely, we genuinely had such a wonderful and felt so at home. Your staff are awesome, but particularly Izzy is an asset to the team you have. Thank you for the multiple good evenings, and many more to come.

Absolutely fabulous. Every dish was delicious. Wonderful tapas bar. We highly recommend. Just be hungry when you get here, there are soooo many yummy things on the menu.

We have a favourite Tapas restaurant in the NQ so this was a risk, got to say the food was delicious! Perhaps lacking a little in ambience, but then it was lunch on a Thursday. The only negative was the music, too loud and not fitting for the setting. Will try again though, probably at weekend next time

Great atmos, great friendly service, fabulous food. Can't fault it.

I recently dined at Porta and had a really good experience. We ordered plenty for two but all the food arrived promptly, which was a pleasant surprise. The efficient and polite service added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a quick and satisfying dining experience.

I like the fact that they have a terrace outside on the square. The interior is pretty interesting and I can say that the food was of a good quality, I tried many tapas in Spain and this is there on the top with them. The only critic is for the most expensive item on the menu which was some pork meat which was extremely chewy and way too rare even if it was stated that it will be served pink, but that was not what I was expecting.

Lovely tapas spot, good value for the quality of the food. Open plan kitchen so you can see them make your dishes and they come as and when they're ready. Really delicious and service was great.

My boyfriend and I absolutely love going there. My Spanish roots are happy each time. The food is delicious and the staff is always lovely

Cosy , relaxed surroundings with staff that care and are knowledgeable about their menu. Good quality tapas and wines. You can't book a table so choose your arrival time carefully.Definitely worth a trip.

One of the best meals we have had while living in Manchester. Tasty, authentic tapas and attentive service in a beautiful setting. The dishes outshone all other tapas restaurants we have visited in Manchester, and rivalled those in Spain! We can't wait to visit again :)

Went here with my daughter, the food was gorgeous, the service was brilliant & the music right up my street.

Lovely food, great service and good prices.

The best tapas I’ve ever had and such friendly quick staff. Couldn’t be happier with this place, will always try and go when I’m in Manchester.

Went here pre gig and had a lovely meal with our team great service and food!

Stunning meal, Great atmosphere and fantastic service

The food and service was fantastic, but the portions were very small for the price.

I’ve driven past here many times and each time thought I’d like to try it; this weekend I finally did and it not disappoint. It’s not very big inside, but this only helps create more of intimate atmosphere. We were sat upstairs, right next to the balcony and had a great view of the rest of the restaurant downstairs. Service was very attentive and very quick. The white sangria was beautiful and the food was delicious. I tried rabbit for the first time, as it was the special that week, but it wasn’t for me. The chickpea and lentil stew was my favourite dish that we ordered. For a small jug of sangria, 6 tapas, 2 desserts and 2 cocktails it cost us £84, which I think was very good value.

This is a special place. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the food. All the dishes I had were delicious, made with top quality fresh ingredients. I was on a city break and Porta was very close to my hotel. If I lived nearby I'd be a regular visitor!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. We had five tapas including a special, and it still only came to £25 a head including drinks. The special was something I'd never seen before: churros with blue cheese, honey and spicy mince. Amazing.

Fantastic food - authentic tapas dishes served by great staff. Not to be missed.

This is a little gem of a place. Food is amazing, service is fantastic too. Really worth a visit.

Best Tapas in Manchester/Salford

Finally got to try Porta yesterday and it did not disappoint 5*s all round. The food and service is top notch, we didn't book so think we were very lucky to get a table, as the place filled up quickly despite it being only 12pm on a Sunday! Chicken thighs are out of this world.

This is one of Salford/Manchester's hidden gems, and the best tapas I've had up North. Everyone front of house was so nice, the waiter recommended the special, as he said he's eaten it every day himself for the past five days. So we ordered it and it was divine. Intact all the recommendations from the servers were spot on. The food was an amazing explosion of texture and flavour. It's on par with a Michelin star restaurant.

Really good food and great service

Great vibe, lovely team and good food.

Porta used to be such a welcoming and fun place. The service is just not the same anymore.

Porta never disappoints. We live locally and have been here a number of times now. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and the food tasty and good. Such a nice ambience as well; you get a lovely setting indoors, but equally as lovely outside in Bexley Square.

Top tier tapas. The service was quick and cheery, always attentive if we ever needed a refill. The restaurant itself is very welcoming but we sat outside to catch the sun. The food was superb. The highlight was the patas bravas and olives for me. The white sangria was a beautiful addition to the dishes and went down a little too well. Can't wait to come again soon.

What a beautiful place on a nice day its great to sit outside but as equally nice inside the food is excellent and if I was to be really critical some of the dishes are slightly overpriced (my opinion) but I had some really tasty tapas definitely worth a visit

Amazing food and wine! Highly recommended

Excellent service from very pleasant staff, lovely to sit outside in the sunshine. Drinks reasonably priced. Very enjoyable lunch time drink.

Tapas is ridiculously good, and really fairly priced also. Would recommend.

Excellent tapas bar, Very good good and service amazing I quite reccomend

Friendly staff, lovely food, quick service. Can’t fault it!

Loved this place! Really good tapas & atmosphere

Amazing food, fresh, hot and super tasty. Lovely welcoming staff. What a find.

Food was OK, the cold dishes like cheese, olives, and ham were much better than the cooked ones. I found the Chester branch to be a lot better though.

Amazing food. Great service. Fantastically priced. Open kitchen with professional chefs. Kept our eyes on them and watched and saw excellent adherence to health and safety. Honestly a fantastic place. Only constructive criticism is the decor is beginning to get outdated I.e. paintwork. Old rustic charm but still... we digress.

Gorgeous food. Exactly the same quality and taste as the Altrincham branch, where we usually visit, but a nicer building and friendlier staff.

Gorgeous food, gorgeous friendly staff, can't recommend it highly enough xx

Really good food and exceptional service. Couldn’t recommend enough.

We were seated at one of the high tables because the upstairs room wasn’t open. Ordered tapas of tortilla, meatballs, bread with olive oil, fried squid and a small jug of sangria. Everything was delicious. The restaurant filled up and the upstairs was opened, we asked if we could be moved so we could sit at a lower table, no problem the lady even took our wine upstairs for us. Ordered more tapas of cheese with quince, the special meat dish and prawns. Again all delicious although the meat dish wasn’t as good (in our opinion) as the other dishes. We had the Tempranillo which was lovely. The staff at this restaurant are extremely helpful, one of them helped us get a taxi, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend this place. You can’t book a table they only have walk ins.

What a hidden gem! Absolutely amazing food and lovely, chilled Spanish vibes. Great service, lovely decor, gorgeous sangria - Can’t wait to go back!

Really nice place to have some tapas and glass of wine.

My wife and I often visit this Spanish bistro, best in town!

I visited in February for the first time. It is proper unique tapas with the sauces being devine. It’s a cosy venue and I will definitely visit again.
