Porto Douro was born from a simple idea: that good food, shared with good people, can feel like home, no matter where you are in the world.

After decades working in restaurants and hospitality, Fernando and Kelly knew it was time to create something of their own. They’d worked their way up in big-name venues, but their hearts were set on something more personal.

As close friends and true all-rounders (both equally comfortable in the kitchen and front of house) they teamed up to build a restaurant where their cultures, creativity and values could shine.

In 2019, Porto Douro opened its doors. It’s since become a local favourite and a home-from-home for those craving more than just a great meal. Looking for a local independent restaurant in Solihull with heart, heritage, and truly authentic Portuguese food? You’re in the right place.
