The first ‘Porta’ was opened in Chester in 2012 by restaurateur brothers Ben & Joe Wright. It is located next door to their multi award-winning restaurant, Joseph Benjamin (Michelin ‘Bib Gourmand’ & Good Food Guide ‘Best North West Local Restaurant’ 2019). A second Porta opened in 2016 in the market town of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, opposite the bustling market hall. A third tapas bar opened in Bexley Square off Chapel Street, Salford in 2018. All 3 Porta restaurants feature in The Good Food Guide and Michelin Guide.
The aim at Porta is to keep things really simple. A lively, bustling environment inspired by the tiniest independent tapas bars of Madrid and Barcelona. The menu, representing many tapas bar classics, is focused on top quality ingredients. Joe works with his team of chefs tirelessly perfecting recipes for every sauce and menu item. From the croquetas and the bravas sauce to the chorizo & lentil stew, every item is handmade in-house.
Porta is a busy but relaxed, unpretentious and comfortable place, with good music, beer, wine and food. Ben and Joe are hands-on operators, who are passionate about the industry and creating an enjoyable place to work.
