Porta in Trafford

Regular visitors to Porta. The tweaks to the menu are excellent; old favourites plus several new additions. Albondingas recipe change lovely, chicken thighs and red pepper sauce delicious and the special ‘Sopradosa (I think!) wonderful. Really good customer service too 😀

Best tapas ever. Always the best food and service every time we go.

Some of the best tapas in the Manchester area, always top class

the wine is gorgeous, tried the white sangria, which I'm always sceptical of as I'm a red wine gal, but it was super fruity and refreshing. lovely staff really attentive

Impromptu lunch. Excellent food and service. Staff cheerful and friendly. Will be back.

Good Spanish Tapas. Good and helpful staff.

Fantastic - calamari, huevos rotos, tomato bread and padrons were absolutely outstanding! Great place and great staff

I’ve been here 10 times and every single time we love it, great atmosphere, great staff, fantastic food. I will continue to come here time and time again.

We had the best food here , literally the best tapas we’ve had … and we were in Spain two weeks ago .. miles better here at porta . Service was great and went with their recommendations too 👍🏽

The food here is consistently amazing. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Inside is pretty small, but very cosy with a nice atmosphere and they have tables outside and upstairs too. One of our favourite places to eat

Always a treat coming here. The food is generally consistently good. Calamari wasn’t as good this time, but it certainly wasn’t chewy. Maybe the other dishes just outshone this one! Staff and service is impressive.

A favourite of mine in Altrincham. Always delicious tapas, authentic and flavoursome. Highly recommended.

Visited today for a spontaneous late lunch and were blown away by the deliciousness of the food here. Service was perfect too. 10/10.

FIVE STAR TAPAS BAR... Simple decor Team Happy Smiling Informative and OMG the specials were fabulous. We will definately be back. Oh & Estrella FREEdam on draft helped the driver too ;-) Gracias

Never fails, this time we enjoyed an impromptu lunch, shared 6 tapas between 2, good size portions! Friendly service, reasonable price!

Fantastic little restaurant with brilliant staff, gorgeous food and a great atmosphere, highly recommend.

Unprompted visit with a friend. Beautiful place, brilliant service. We were looked after by Liza and she is wonderful asset to the restaurant, gave us a great advise on what to choose. Food was simply delicious. The restaurant has a nice outside area when the weather permits. Cannot wait to go back!

Simply the best tapas in Greater Manchester.

Conveniently located this is a good choice for tapas. We were lucky to get a table since due to cold weather outdoor seating was not a good option. Please note that this restaurant does not take reservation. All the tapas dishes we ordered were really tasty. Service was prompt and efficient. Seating arrangement and comfort was ok. Choice of wine and beers were quite good. Overall we had a good time but I find the prices to be a bit expensive compared to the portions they serve.

Amazing, incredible, never been done before. Some of the best food I've had in the UK.

Fantastic in every way We had the queen scallops which were superb, along with the prawns which were cooked to perfection. The young waiter (as all the staff) was so friendly and attentive I just want to go back! Amazing really as we were about to walk past as it doesn’t look that inviting!

Good selection of tapas and amazing red sangria! Perfect for date night or just a casual day out. Highly recommended

First time in a while back at Porta and didn’t disappoint. Every dish was superb - highlight being the lamb meatballs and pan con tomate. Lovely Albariño wine. And great service by the young man on the top floor - a real credit to the business! We won’t leave it as long to return next time!

As always the food was delicious! I love that you have different specials each time I'm visiting. From the latest meal I can recommend: steak, broccoli with ajo blanco, croquetas, blue cheese with honey, and as always gordal olives!

Good food and very good service. Also decent drinks selection. Very handy for the market and other bars

Couldn't ask for more! Knowledgeable, friendly staff, great food. Had a great meal out with friends. Nailed it!

Little gem. Absolutely loved it here. Food was so tasty and service wad quick and friendly. Recommend the hisby cabbage and tomato salad. Was to die for.

Great wine great tapas. Lovely staff.

Delicious food great wine and busy and vibrant atmosphere

The venue is a old house / shop facing Altrincham market and if you like unmatched furniture, brick walls and exposed floor boards - this place is for you. This place operates a no reservation / walk in policy and when we got there it was full, but for one table which we gratefully took. The drinks and food orders were efficiently taken and all came in a timely manner. My colleague and I had various dishes, and each one was very enjoyable, the pickled Anchovies were different and not fishy at all. All in all a very enjoyable meal and a new nice place - if I had to contrast it, I would say if you like the Manchester Evunas you will like Porta. Go and enjoy.

Food was lovely my favorite was the broccoli with roasted almonds and red peppers. The fritta was not at its best but everything else delisous

Terrible place.First off given a wobbly table that resulted in drinks falling off table.Didnt get them replaced free.Then one of the prawn tapas was freezing cold and could have put me in A&E.Disgusting.Look folks,you work hard all work,steer clear of vile places like this that have zero respect for its customers.

Porta has been a favourite of ours for a few years with a great variety of tapas however our recent visit found the menu lacking in any really inviting tatalising tapas dishes of real substance that used to be offered here. The dishes are basic tapas with nothing special. The croquettes were very poor mainly tasting of flour. I think the menu reflects the cost of living times we find ourselves in. The produce is probably hard to source nowadays are too expensive annexample being..Porta used to serve the best Ox cheek dish with morrell mushrooms an absolute winner but sadly more due to sourcing..where are the knock out dishes Porta please find your sparkle again as we were so dissapointed with the fayre on offer.

Food superb! Atmosphere both inside and outside superb! Staff cannot do enough for you and the service is spot on. Hard to find good tapas spots but this is definitely one of the best!

Amazing dining experience, would 100% recommended 👌

Absolutely delicious food and a great atmosphere … we dined here a few nights ago when we were staying in Altrincham whilst visiting family during the week and had a night to ourselves. The food was amazing … definitely worth a visit. Great selection of tapas dishes, great service from both front of house and the waitresses. If you are in the local area - one not to miss out on. We didn’t need to make a reservation as we were there mid week, although it did get very busy whilst we were there.

Truly amazing Tapas. Tied for my favorite in all of Manchester. Attentive, friendly staff; delicious dishes with some trult excellent variety and some very enticing specials. The venue and atmosphere only serves to further add to the experience. If you enjoy Tapas you must give this place a go

First time visit . Great range of delicious Tapas . Superb service and at an affordable price. Will definitely be back. Best meal in a long time. Wish we had visited sooner.

I visited today for the first time whilst visiting family in the area. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the food was amazing. Just enough to choose from but not too much that you can't decide. We shared 5 dishes between two of us and it was enough to fill us. Would highly recommend.

Our first visit to Porta and it was fantastic. Authentic Spanish tapas which was delicious (the daily special was the dish of the night,) everything was really tasty. Loved the bar, and really impressed it served non alcoholic draft Spanish beer on tap. Staff were really friendly and efficient but not in your face. Highly recommend, we will definitely go back! Thanks for a great night.

Lovely little tapas place. In good weather it's nice to sit outside. Inside is not dog friendly so pray for good weather if you plan to come with your dog. The wines (especially the rioja) are great and all the dishes and service were excellent. I will be returning!

Phenomenal tapas, incredible staff, went back the next night to try the rest of the menu. Can’t recommend enough

Enjoyed another great tapas at Porta, we had Pan con tomate, Padron peppers, Patatas Bravas, Broccoli, Prawns, scallops and a couple of specials. All the food was excellent and there the dish consisted of three elements, they happily added a forth so we could all enjoy. Happily recommend Porta.

Cracking authentic tapas. A genuine taste of Andalucia unlike so many UK tapas joints

Great food, wonderful service, lively atmosphere. Good choice of wines and beers. We'll be back soon.

What a brilliant place to eat😀😀😀😀Love it, like being on holidays 😋😋😋

Excellent afternoon. It was a special visit for a friend's birthday. She had never been to a tapas bar and she loved it. Thank you

Located in the heart of Altrincham the tapas venue is well placed. The food was excellent the staff were really friendly and it was value for money. Will definitely return and try other options from the great food menu.

Just had lunch here and as I’ve seen someone else say, I don’t often write reviews but the tapas here is fantastic. The service was excellent with a beer recommendation that I could have drunk several of had it not been lunchtime. Would highly recommend

Very good food and pleasant atmosphere.

Fast and good service. Delicious tapas. The patatas bravas were particularly good

Lovely cozy place, great staff and tasty food. I enjoyed having a glass of sherry with the tapas whilst catching up with friends, we all felt comfortable, relaxed and well fed - couldn’t have asked for more!

Great location next to the market so on a nice day you can sit outside watching the world go by. Photos are blue cheese with pickled walnuts and honey, patatas bravas and the lamb meatballs. Staff were very pleasant.

Originally traveled to Altrincham to go to the market but walked past this place and decided to give it try with my wife. It’s not often I leave reviews but I felt I had to, honestly, the food was just Amazing, really really tasty, great portion sizes & fairly priced. The staff were lovely and attentive We ordered wings, prawns, scallops, squid and a few other dishes and it was all cooked perfectly. We will definitely be making an effort to visit again. Good job guys !

We called in on the off chance and had 4 tapas dishes. They were served quickly and piping hot. I would thoroughly recommend Porta.

Went here tonight, but it was not nearly as nice as the last time we went. The most disappointing thing was the 11.50 paid for the scallops. If they were queen scallops, they were the smallest I have ever been served. My advice to the manager is if you're going to sell such tiny scallops at 11.50, take them off the menu because people like me will whinge. It also does a disservice to the chefs who are surely ashamed of putting out such tiny portions.

Top quality tapas with helpful staff. A bit disconcerting that dishes appear randomly. Recommended

Lovely authentic food and friendly staff

No disabled toilets. Food was cold. One portion too salty. Attitude of staff unfriendly. Worst food I've had for a long time.

Always a good meal here, especially if you like your tapas. Sea bream with chick peas was an excellent special, the iberican pork, choritzo & lentils and blue cheese with honey/walnuts are also menu favourites. A regular venue for us. Well worth a visit. A+++

Hands down my favourite spot to eat in Altrincham. So tasty, fresh and delicious. We will be back as soon as possible!

Great place. The tall guy with the beard always looks after us. The food is great too!

Lovely place, very friendly staff and beautifully cooked food. I had Tortilla and Lamb Meatballs in tomato sauce, followed by a Portuguese Custard Tart. Absolutely exquisite and I'll be going again. Thank you.

Wonderful authentic Tapas - we had a very good lunch and could have whiled the entire afternoon away grazing on the tapas and enjoying their wines! The food is very fresh and very well cooked and presented and the atmosphere feels like you’re in bar in Spain! Very attentive service. We will be back!

Great atmosphere, ace staff, lovely Jamonera beer with Jamon iberico and the best pan de tomate I've ever had. Great stuff!

Such a lovely tapas bar...wish we lived nearby would probably visit weekly. Food was beautiful, staff lovely, atmosphere great and also the music. Highly recommend.

Excellent tapas, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Excellent tapas options. Not break the bank but decent prices. Staff is cherry on top and a plus plus

Excellent experience, will definitely eat here again!

Lovely little spot with great heart ❤️ staff were excellent - friendly and knowledgeable. Food was nic but... We've had nicer tapas in Manchester (in Sale and city centre), just more flavourful. But it was a nice evening.

Second visit this year whilst out shopping and lovely warm surroundings great food atmosphere and service very friendly polite and attentive.

Food is delicious, amazing service and staff offered good recommendations. Overall perfect.

Food good and hot, service excellent no issues at all a lovely relaxed atmosphere if I could tell you anywhere in centre of altrincham it would be here

Went with my family lovely food service really nice

Ok but slightly on the salty side

We called in for lunch at the weekend and loved it. Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere and friendly service. The food was excellent - we had king prawns, meatballs, dried beef, patatas bravas, omelette and broccoli. All dishes were delicious and served quickly. We will definitely be back.

We love this place, it’s informal, friendly, can’t book, great service, good value and most importantly the food is fantastic. I said it in a previous review , best Tapas we’ve had outside Spain. delicious and authentic patatas bravas with smokey spices sauce. yummy spices wings, chiritzo,…. All tasty tasty tasty

Excellent place! Delicious food

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch today. Porta had been recommended by many friends and Trip Advisor reflected the compliments. We were looked after by Kieran who did a fantastic job describing the wines and various menu items we were interested in. We were made to feel really welcome and will definitely be back. Thanks to Kieran, also the Chef and the team.

Lovely tapas, reasonable prices, nice selection with some different dishes, only downside is the place is small and a little cramped and little room on small tables for a good selection of dishes

Fantastic and authentic tapas. Great atmosphere and service.

Good tapas bar. Glad to know that they have a good chef. :)

It's such a lovely cosy restaurant. The menu had so many choices, and the food was outstanding. Such a nice ambience with excellent staff who took care of us. It was a very busy restaurant on a weekend but the service was great. One of our favourite restaurants in the area

One of the best eateries in altrincham. Limited decent wine options

It's ok but not as good as the estilo mailbox Birmingham. The patatas bravas is mainly a crispy chips poured with chilly sauce.

Amazing baby squid done in their own black ink and also brilliant all the rest of the tapas. 👏👏👏

Great food, fab atmosphere, lovely people. Couldn't ask for more really!

A new favourite! We visited the day before our wedding for a much needed pit-stop. Your olives are amazing!

Really good tapas. We like to sit outside late afternoon/early evening. Cold Estrella, great tapas and wonderful people watching. The Presa, whilst expensive, is superb. The Calamari is authentic, several small full squid, nicely cut into Hula Hoop sized pieces, best we've had locally for a long time. A lot of people seem to arrive, order a few plates and eat as a meal. Would thoroughly recommend ordering one to three plates to share with each or alternate rounds and stretching out the experience. Highly recommended.

Excellent food , drink and staff , we sat outside as weather was warm and sunny , but experience spoilt by smokers and vapers , pity as didn’t want to sit inside as nice weather

After visiting the Chester restaurant we were expecting the same standard of food. We were really disappointed in every dish we ordered, very bland! We gave it a 3/10 and won’t be returning. I hope this isn’t a reflection on the future of the Chester...

Porta has a wide selection of traditional Spanish tapas dishes with some specials occasionally fusioned along side. The drinks are traditional and modern, the atmosphere at most, early on is nice and relaxed, once busy it does seem to be very hectic but that’s surely the sign of a good place to eat drink and socialise. Our recommendation is to head out early after opening times, for a relaxed early lunch of tea and if your after starting or finishing the night off well it’s an amazing place to head too. No reservations though, so it’s just a show up and take a chance, although they do offer a call back service once a table for your requirements becomes free! Fully AC for inside dining, great outdoor covered space at the front also. Price was more than I wanted to spend, but I don’t honestly mind spending good money on good food and service, so for me 10/10. Lovely staff, lovely visually inside, great food, good atmosphere . Well done porta, and thank you 👍🏻

Excellent food , great quality. Along with an amazing atmosphere and welcoming staff.

We are here on a Saturday evening and the food and service was excellent. This is a great Tapas Bar - outstanding food - highly recommended

A big thank you to Lovely team of Porta for the wonderful evening, amazing hospitality, great tasty unique tappas dishes and drinks and making us feeling so special. All the best to you all. We recommend this place confidently.

Came in unplanned and so glad we did. Fantastic food, would have liked a few more meat and fish options but there is still plenty of choice and everything we had was absolutely delicious. Loved the sherry choices too and the chocolate mousse is gorgeous!...

Food was really tasty and good value. Everything seemed fresh and staff were really helpful

A stunning night served by the lovely Heather. We booked in, went for drinks elsewhere and then followed the link to monitor when our table would be ready. The food was delicious, the wine was outstanding, atmosphere was relaxed and we throughly enjoyed our visits....

Great food , excellent service , found toom for two of us even when very busy . Highly recommended, looking forward to going back.
