Porteno

Consistently amazing. Even without such menu stars at the Brussel sprouts the chefs at Porteño knocked it out of the park again. I'll be back.

Everything was sensational!

This is a beautiful restaurant. They obviously care a lot about their food and service, and both were fabulous. We absolutely loved dining here. Will be back!

The Porteno team are always welcoming and do their best to ensure you are comfortable with your food and wine choices. Quality produce and good mix of wine and drinks. Loved the wood-fired kingfish this time and rump cap.

Great food. Great service. We will definitely be returning

The Spanish Mackerel from the specials was one of the best fish dish I have had! Melts in your mouth, the addition of the sweet/sour leeks was amazing!

Second time at Porteno and didnt disappoint.. You pay for what you get there. Lovely

This is my 3rd time to Porteno and couldn't fault the place on food, service, wine and ambiance. I will certainly be back. We even were given a complimentary glass of dessert wine when our dessert ordered was missed in the system. We still only had to wait 15 minutes. They really know how to make you feel special.

I love this restaurant. As always, the food was exceptional and the service was attentive.

I’ve enjoyed the small changes to the menu, in particular the pumpkin pasta dish was divine.

The addition of Achaval Ferrer to the impressive list of Malbecs is awesome, and I hope that this will be followed by having wines from Matervini Also appear as they are I think the best Malbecs from Argentina.

It was just a little loud at times and being the light sitting meant there and Beyoncé changed as the restaurant started to empty but otherwise another perfect night at Porteño.

I love Porteno, outstanding food and service and extensive wine list. I do however miss the good old days when they were on Cleveland Street!

I’d warn them that the prices are eye watering but the food generally good.

I’d complain that the images of footballers on the wall still miss Osvaldo Ardiles and Riki Villa, not to mention Mauricio Pochettino

Awesome food, good service, been a favourite for a while.

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would. It was an amazing night. Full of food, music and hospitality.
Outstanding table service, bar tending, food, music, professionalism and hygiene!
Definitely going back asap!

My partner and I shared a meal at Porteno recently. The experience was one of the best I’ve had with dining out. We ate the calamari and bone marrow as entree - the latter was incredible. The sauce with our seafood was also divine, though admittedly I prefer calamari a little less seared. Then the aged rib eye came... Hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. And the accompanying garlic rice was lovely - only wish there had been more! Last, we had the custard flan as a desert and it was impeccable. So bloody yum. Service was great too. Thanks Porteno.

Absolutely mouth watering dishes! I can’t wait to visit again

Great food, great service, great experience - good for friends!

Too overpriced for the portion size and the food. Despite the amazing service didn’t think we got value for money at all. Shame since it was my husbands birthday.

Amazing food. Quite pricey but good for an occasion.

On this occasion my guest and I were seated at the bar which is fine. Our food was a real delight but the waiters need to lift their game. While we may not command the attention of a larger table because we are two dining guests only, having to wait 5 minutes or more to get the attention of a wait staff member to make our first order is unacceptable! Lift your game on quality and promptness of service otherwise people take notice and don’t return.

Food of the gods. Definitely a restaurant for special occasions, although I have already been twice in the last 3 months.

The food was nice and the service was amazing

Food at Porteno was excellent !! Service was impeccable !!! Great night thank you !!!

We had the sirloin, 8h pork, Brussels sprouts, milk flan and chocolate pudding. All stunning, though venue is a bit loud for my taste.

Very authentic Argentinian food. Just make sure they put the veg on the side of the meat not on top.

I arrived at the time I booked and was told the restaurant was closed

Nice setting, friendly attentive staff, food was overpriced and portions were quite small.
Wouldn’t go back in a hurry that’s for sure.

Simply delicious food, every dish was outstanding. Extremely generous servings for our table of 4 with the Chef's banquet special. Excellent wine choices and very friendly, attentive and knowledgable staff. A great atmosphere with matching volume!

It’s with regret to have to leave such a negative review, as we had been looking forward to dining at Porteno for a long time.
Being over 7 months pregnant there were no cushions available to assist me, which surely should be something Porteno should consider having a couple on hand if/when required.

The bone marrow entree simply just tasted of cooked onion, no flavour of the actual marrow was present. The octopus was served cold (not sure if this was intentional) but it also was quite tasteless. Possibly frozen and thawed...certainly not fresh.

While we have no issue paying for high quality meals especially the wagu steak special with chimi churi and roast capsicum that was available, this again came out cold and sat in at least 1/4 cup of oil. The chimi churi was applied sparingly and added no taste to the dish. And It was as though the entire contents of a store bought jar of roast capsicum was poured into the dish and a cold steak lumped on top. It was just really disappointing and no where near the standard that we had heard about, and certainly no value for money at all.
We unfortunately would not return and would not recommend Porteno to others.

Very friendly staff and excellent food. Banquet was great value and plenty of food. Will be going back again.

I love porteno but it was a bit noisy this night and the staff were a bit inattentive and distracted.

Best restaurant to celebrate my anniversary. Great food.

We had a lovely night. Amazing service.
Thanks for having us.

Nice looking restaurant. Entries were nice however all mains were very terrible. Short ribs were hard and chewy, asked the waiter n was told that they are meant to be chewy and hard? Then they should have add an note to their menu so the customers are aware of it. Dry aged steak wasn't great either no where near what we had in Argentina.

We did ask for some sparkling water to start with, however when the bill came they have gone ahead and opened 3 bottles of sparkling water without asking if we wanted to open another two bottles.

Great fooda send variety on the banquet menu. We had a group of 4 and the $90 banquet was plenty for us. The meat was so tasty and the veggie dishes were just as amazing. The service was great with a great wine list and drink options.
The desert was really yummy too, cream caramel and churros.

This by far is one of the meals I have every had. The 8hr roast pork was amazing. The Wagu beef special just melted in your mouth. The dessert of the flan, along with the ice cream churro combo was a great way to end a fabulous meal.

Highly recommended for anyone in Sydney.

Interesting food and a great selection of Argentinian wines to match the cuisine ......lived up to the expectations and more ...

Our initial waiter was brilliant - very friendly, attentive & knowledgeable.
Overall nice Argentinian food.
Starters were excellent and should have made the full meal from them.
Mains were quite nice but not in the same league as the starters or meals at most premium restaurants.
As good as it was, Porteno charges at the top end but the food is not up there - not good value.
Bill at the end also came with a surcharge (on a week night) - when questioned, the waitress said it assumes I would pay by Amex (which I don't even have) and offered to reduce the bill. Wonder how many guests pay without looking ...

A waiter greeted us and before we had time to check a menu he told us he could recommend a wine depending on what we were after. We thought this was great... until we got the bill. He’d got The most expensive wine on the menu and we ended up paying $27 a glass for a glass of wine. More fool us that we ordered another round without checking the price, but at that cost thought he would have sounded it out. Soured our otherwise pleasant experience at the space

What an amazing time!!!!
Lived up and surpassed all expectations!!
We will definitely come back soon.

A classy, lively and well run restaurant with awesome service and some great Mendoza Malbec. But if an Argentinian restaurant serves sirloin which is so fatty you have to dump half of it back on your plate then something's badly wrong. If I had ordered the chicken I've no doubt my review would have been glowing.
