“Porta Via Beverly Hills, a longtime neighborhood staple, has announced it will relocate and reopen at 184 N. Cañon Drive in summer 2026, following a fire that destroyed its original location on Christmas morning 2025.

Founded in 1994 as a humble breakfast and lunch café at 424 N. Cañon Drive, Porta Via (@portaviaca) expanded over 31 years into a 4,000-square-foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, a full bar, and private event space. The new location, three blocks south, marks the restaurant’s next chapter.

The 5,300-square-foot space—previously home to Nusr-Et—will feature a patio and seating for 165 guests in a contemporary bistro setting that reinterprets the Porta Via brand while honoring its history.

“We’ve made so many memories at Porta Via Beverly Hills, and we’re incredibly grateful to have become a lasting part of the community,” said owner Peter Garland. “This summer, we begin a new chapter in a new home and look forward to making new memories there with the support of our longtime guests.”

Garland cited the evolving energy of the southern end of N. Cañon Drive as a key factor in the decision to relocate.

“With the park and newly opened cul-de-sac nearby, Spago next door, the Maybourne Hotel across the street, and restaurants like Dante, Novikov, and Mastro’s all within close reach, the center of gravity has shifted in this direction,” he said.

Since the fire, Garland has prioritized supporting Porta Via’s longtime staff, retaining key team members by placing them at the Palm Desert and Calabasas locations, as well as at the seasonal Porta Via pop-up at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden during the BNP Paribas Open.

“It’s been incredibly important to keep our team together,” he said. “They’ve helped make us what we are.”
