El Portón is an authentic Spanish restaurant serving up a mouth-watering selection of snacks, tapas and larger share plates. Nibble on hand-held bites like tuna-filled empanadillas and Iberico jamon croquetas, and experience Spanish staples like marinated white anchovies with guindillas and Bonillo crisps, grilled calamari with traditional Canary Island roast-capsicum mojo, and Basque Country-style sausages in cider. A fragrant seafood paella – loaded with king prawns, calamari, mussels and pipis – takes centre stage on the menu, alongside other larger plates like whole chargrilled chicken with avocado mojo, and traditional Spanish capacho – crumbed and fried veal topped with jamon and ‘stretchy cheese’. Sippers can kick back and explore El Portón’s extensive bar menu, with a varied selection of Spanish wine and beer on offer, alongside a tight collection of cocktails.
