My husband and I snuck away for a rare date night. We arrived early, maybe 5:15pm. The restaurant is cozy, small so expect that you will share a conversation with the couple next to you. By 6pm there was a busy and vibrant buzz around the room. I loved how you could see the chefs and bar tender from anywhere... More

The house made charcuterie was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxed, if loud, but nice and fun. Like all busy restraints, the food is fresh and the preparations were thoughtful and well balanced.

I almost don't want to tell anyone about this place lest it get too busy and spoil my future chances of getting a table :). This place had an excellent variety of dishes and some of them were the best I've had. If you go you must try the duck liver mousse terrine, and the sherry chicken liver mousse, or... More

Landed here based on Tripadvisor reviews and a quick read thru the menu. The place is packed even on odd days (tuesday) and getting a seat here, even at the bar, can require some patience. I had a wait of about 15 minutes, but was totally cool with it as the other folks hanging out at the reception were already... More

I would love to go back and try... More

I've had the joy of eating here about 4 times in the past year. When I'm in Portland, this place is always on my list. If you like great food, you need to check Toro Bravo out. The wait staff excellent as well.

Great for groups, sharing and experimenting with new food. Try the tasting menu - lots of food and they normally save the best until last. Also dive into the sangria!

Having been to Barcelona, I can say that this place serves authentic tapas, and is consistently a pleasing experience. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the restaurant itself maintains a not too fancy atmosphere. I love Toro Bravo, and would definitely recommend it as Portland's top tapas bar.

Been to this restaurant many times now and each time something new to blow me away. I've tasted more perfectly cooked vegetables here done simple but different ways (e.g. first time I had grilled asparagus several years ago and now make it myself all the time). Last time we Arugula Fritters that were so awesome we ordered a second batch.... More
