Porta Fine Food & Import Company is one of the 2 dinning option at Park Hotel Clarke Quay. Technically, this hotel is located within Roberston Quay. Don’t be confuse with the other hotel group, Parkroyal.
Locating the restaurant is easy once you are at ground floor of Park Hotel Clarke Quay. It is on the left of the lobby, facing UE Square.
Both Al Fresco and indoor seating are available with the former a pet-friendly dinning area. The interior design was inspired by colonial Singapore.
The restaurant offers casual Modern European dishes introduced new Brunch Menu and several new exciting dishes.
Before the start of our order, 4 different bread were served. These are free-flow.
Starting with the popular Croque-Madame (S$14++). Parma Ham sandwiched between my favourite fluffy Brioche. Topped it off with a Sunny-side up and accompanied green for complete meal.
Next is the Spanish Breakfast (S$14++) with mainly baked beans that absorbed all the essence of the ingredients. In addition, some carbohydrates, that were potato cubes and since it is a breakfast food, how could there be without egg.
Prawn & Chorizo Pasta (S$22++) is my favourite dish among all the items I tried. The bold and robust flavour from the pasta, together with seafood flavour and chorizo complemented perfectly.
For healthier option, go for the Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad (S$15++).
Chilled Angel Hair Pasta (S$14++), a crowd favourite has generous amount off crab meat and ebiko added to the slightly soft but tasty pasta.
Spanish Octopus (S$18++) was easy on the jaw and the natural flavoured octopus paired in unison with intense sauce. It would be excellent if the amount of salt was more evenly spread.
Porta Burger (S$23++) with thick beef patty between fluffy fragrance bun and amazing thick-cut fries was enjoyable.
Lastly, end the meal with Not-Your-Usual-Tiramisu (S$12++) that is a deconstructed Tiramisu dessert. The coffee flavour was strong but not overwhelming.
NAHMJ Verdict
Porta at Park Hotel Clarke Quay is certainly a great place to chillax and enjoy brunch over the weekends. And if you are a pet owner, a bonus to bring your pet along for great companionship.
