Talk:Oporto (restaurant)

This info was moved here from the main article as it contains nothing of an encyclopedic nature... McDonald's and McDonald's products are a good template for restaurants and what does and doesn't belong in a main article...  ++D e iz  03:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Chilli Sauce
Oporto's Peri Peri sauce (known as their "legendary sauce") is a chilli based sauce used in many of their products.

Strips
"Strips" are strips of chicken in chilli sauce that are cooked for around 3 minutes on each side. They are sold as part of a strip roll, or in a strip combo.

Strip Roll
The strip roll consists of lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, chilli sauce and strips, served in a hotdog-style roll.

Rappa
The rappa is made by using a round pitta bread and covering it in mayonnaise. Lettuce, tomato and rappa (Strips cut up into a number of smaller pieces) are also added to the roll, which is then folded and served in a manner that draws comparisons to KFC's Twister.

Norm Burger
The norm burger is short for "normal" burger - it is similar to a Bondi Burger without chilli. It is made by adding a slice of cheese to the bun, followed by covering both buns in mayonnaise, then adding lettuce and 2 chicken fillets.

The small norm is a variation consisting of only one fillet, and the big norm is one consisting of three fillets.

Bondi Burger
The bondi burger is considered Oporto's flagship burger, named after the area where it became famous among the beach-based community. It is made by adding a slice of cheese to the bun, followed by covering both buns in mayonnaise, then adding lettuce and 2 chicken fillets, as well as chilli.

The small bondi is a variation consisting of only one fillet, and the big bondi is one consisting of three fillets (and two slices of cheese).

You should take a look in your burger and see the size of the fillets you are now serving. Its such a shame to see! We are paying for something and not receiving it. You need to take a look at this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.132.107 (talk) 05:18, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Otropo Burger
The otropo burger is a play on words of Oporto, aiming to signify a burger with a "tropical" flavour to it.

It is made by adding cheese to the bun, then adding a slice of pineapple, one large and one small piece of bacon, two fillets, lettuce and mayonnaise.

Chicken
Chicken is cooked for a number of hours where it rotates on a spit and is then taken out. It is available in whole, quarter, or half sizes and is flame grilled with a marinade (either lemon & herb, or chilli) for a number of seconds

Advertisement
The whole article is written like an advertisement. There are several editors who have seen such an approach as sufficient reason to delete the articles of one of Oporto's competitors, but for some reason have no issue with the corpcruft going on here. The whole article needs a rewrite. Is it really necessary to discuss Oporto's marketing campaign and use suspiciously promotional wording such as "Oporto proudly describes itself as a wholly-owned Australian company"?

Agreed. Reads like it was written by an Oporto marketing exec. --Veracity-or-mendacity 13:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's actually not. --Mikecraig 22:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow that's a great contribution. Finish the discussion right there. It's actually "not" what? Written like an ad? Written by execs? Written by you? The article has the tone of a marketing pitch the whole way through and I think it's a concern. 218.152.32.166 12:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't see much discussion about it's supposed "advertisment" tone, I guess other food/restaurant articles must be the same then? --Mikecraig 22:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. As I recall that was *one* of the reason Ogalo's page was deleted. This page takes it to another level in discussing the company's marketing campaign. Again I pose the question to this discussion - is such a section necessary here? Sammy lightfoot 04:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I have very fond memories of Oporto. It's one of the first places I go and eat when I'm back in Sydney. (I actually found this article while googling for recipes that might let me replicate something a fraction as good here...) It may be a marketing piece, but it seems perfectly factual. I don't see a problem. (I am interested to learn why they would ask me if I wanted Chili on my Bondi Burger, since if I didn't I wouldn't order it...) If Oporto becomes enmeshed in an E. Coli scandal and deletes references to it that are placed here, then we can all complain.

What's the deal with the Oporto Rutherford advertising sentence? Is it different from the other branches? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.47.143 (talk) 07:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I found this article when searching for Oporto information in english and I was surprized. Thats not a tpical portuguese dish much less from Oporto. it says: Oporto specialises in Portuguese style chicken (properly known as Galinha à Africana), Properly? à Africana means african style. typical dishes are called something like "tripas à moda do Porto", tripes Oporto style. Poult, young chicken, not mature chicken, is eaten everywhere and not particular to any place in Portugal. I understand this page is advertising for a restaurant though it should be careful not to mislead who reads it, mistaking fusion cuisine or something like that with Oporto typical cuisine  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.22.195.222 (talk) 15:10, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
