Porto Douro Portuguese in Solihull

680 Warwick Rd, Solihull B91 3DX

About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about Porto Douro – it's this lovely Portuguese restaurant in Solihull that's got me buzzing with excitement every time I think about it. From what I've gathered from the reviews and details, the food is just brilliant; people rave about the fresh seafood, hearty mains, and even the starters and desserts that make for a proper feast. The staff really shine too – they're quick to recommend dishes, super friendly, and go out of their way for special events, like making a birthday feel extra special. The place has a modern, welcoming interior that sets a great tone for a relaxed evening. But, as with any spot, it's not perfect; it does get packed, so booking ahead is a must to snag a table, and you might find some popular items sold out if you're there late. Plus, the website's a bit messy with typos and mixed-up hours, which could throw you off when you're trying to plan. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for anyone after genuine Portuguese vibes – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the highs definitely outweigh the little niggles.

Absolutely beautiful meal at Porto Douro last night. We were quite late in the evening so a few of the more popular seafood dishes were out which was a shame, but what we did have was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was lovely, was happy to provide recommendations, quick and professional service.

Words cannot describe how amazing this restaurant is! We had Brigu & Paul serve our table for the duration & they were outstanding! We booked this restaurant for a family members 92nd birthday & the restaurant went above and beyond to ensure he had the best birthday! The food was some of the best food I have ever tasted! Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant to anybody!

Absolutely perfect restaurant- we have just enjoyed our first evening meal and can’t wait to go back. We had a warm welcome from the manager Waji who was on hand to answer our questions throughout the night. Our waitress Emma was friendly, helpful and attentive. The interior is smart and modern with a very relaxing atmosphere- helped by the wonderful live music that was playing the night we enjoyed our meal. For starters we had mussels, mushrooms on toast, croquettes and sardines. Our mains were a fish stew, slow roasted port and fresh fish. All the food was delicious, full of flavour and well presented. The drinks were great too, Portuguese larger in chilled glasses, sangria full of flavour and cocktails that had a wonderful taste. We also enjoyed complimentary Portuguese tarts and a shot of liquor. For the price we paid we all thought the restaurant offered an absolutely great experience.

Definitely book ahead! We came on a Tuesday night and the place was busy so relieved we didn't just turn up hoping for a table. Had my eye on this place for a while so booked for my husband's birthday. For starters he had fish cakes whilst I went for the prawns & mushrooms on Portuguese bread. For mains, my husband opted for the seafood platter and there was so much, we took some home. I went for the Pescado com banana, which sounded intriguing as it was battered hake with banana and cheese but absolutely delicious. We were much too full to order dessert, which was disappointing as there were some interesting options. However we were brought a traditional custard tart with a small measure of port, which was the perfect way to end the meal.
