Oporto Wheel of Flavour

One category, one spin

The wheel only fills with items from the category you pick, so the result always fits the gap in your order. Spin burgers and you land on something like the O Burger at from $10.20, the Bondi Burger or the Otropo Burger. Spin again whenever you like.

Spin flame grilled chicken and the options run from the Quarter Chicken at $9.50 to the Whole Chicken at $20.00. Bigger categories hold more possible results, while small ones like desserts narrow the field fast. The Late Night Menu category only makes sense after 9pm, and breakfast only before 11am.

Smaller categories give quick results. Spin sauces and the wheel lands on one of the dipping sauces, from Lemon & Herb to the O Sauce, or a take home jar. Spin drinks for a change from your usual can. Every result shows its price and kJ, so a spin is useful as well as fun.

A whole order, spin by spin

Spin once for a main, once for a side, once for a sauce. A burger from the first spin and Chips at from $4.50 from the second make a complete order in under a minute.

Groups take turns spinning their own category. Somebody always ends up with Crispy Wings at from $6.50 for the table. Kids love taking a turn on the wheel, and it gets them involved in what the family eats. Pair the wheel with a rule that every spin must be tried at least once.

A spin round also works for parties. Each guest spins one category and the combined results become the group order. It turns a dull ordering chore into a short game, and the food arrives as a surprise mix that nobody would have chosen alone.

Rules that make spinning more fun

Agree on one respin per person, and make the second result final. That keeps the game going without endless respins.

For a pick from the whole menu rather than one category, the Random Dish Picker on our tools page draws from all 101 items. Prices can vary by store. Keep score of the best and worst picks over a few visits for extra fun.

Set a budget before the game starts. A spin in the flame grilled chicken category can land on a Whole Chicken, which costs more than a burger, so agree in advance who covers a big result. The wheel itself has no link to Oporto and places no orders.
