How the Franchise Started?

Oporto was founded in 1986 in Bondi, Sydney, by António Cerqueira, originally under the name Portuguese Style Bondi Charcoal Chicken.

The brand focused on authentic Portuguese flame-grilled chicken with a signature chilli sauce, quickly gaining popularity in the local takeaway market.

In 1995, the business rebranded to Oporto and began franchising, expanding steadily across Australia and New Zealand.

Known for its fresh, flame-grilled (not fried) chicken and bold flavours, Oporto has grown to over 140 stores and continues to evolve with new store designs and menu innovations while maintaining its commitment to quality and customer experience.
