Fodor's Expert Review Toro Bravo
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The success of this wildly popular and impressively authentic Spanish tapas bar has spawned a popular cookbook and helped spur chef-owner John Gorham to create a restaurant empire in Portland. This bustling spot with closely spaced tables and a lively vibe turns out sublime, share-friendly dishes like fried Spanish anchovies with fennel and lemon, and Ibérico sausage and braised cuttlefish in ink. If you're feeling indecisive, order the "chef's choice for the table," which at $55 is a good value for a remarkable variety of dishes.
