The 50 best spots for salad in Portland

This restaurant was recommended to me by a good friend, so I made reservations in the bar, thinking there would be high-top tables in addition to the bar seating. The drive was quite a trek, about 40 minutes from our home, across the river. We were seated right away upon arrival, but unfortunately, the host placed us at a corner spot at the bar, where I had a view of the bar's side. It felt a bit cramped and honestly gave off a "timeout corner" vibe. It was disappointing to be tucked away like that for a first visit, especially with other open seats available. Thankfully, my husband was kind enough to switch spots with me. On a positive note, the bartender was attentive and friendly. The food was truly fantastic. My Negroni was spot-on, and the clams were hands down the best I’ve had at a restaurant. One thing that caught me off guard was the 22% automatic gratuity, especially with an additional tip line still presented. Also, while my seating experience wasn't ideal, the overall ambiance on the bar side was aesthetically pleasing. I appreciated learning that they source produce from their own farm and that employees have the option to help tend it such a great concept. Overall, I would definitely go back, but next time I’ll opt for a table in the dining room for a more comfortable experience.

If it wasn't for the prices I would give it five stars. I got a pizza which with just cheese and sauce. I think it was $22. It was good but more than I like to spend. I also got a drink which was good but was about $18 if I remember correctly. Not somewhere I would usually go. But fancy and fun and really the service was amazing!

My partner and I went here last week for our 7 year anniversary and it was perfect. Reservations were easy and simple to make. I was able to leave a note asking for a table off to the side which we got. The server was perfect in their presence, they weren't too overbearing or too absent. We didn't get dessert because we were going elsewhere, but they brought us some complimentary shortbread cookies and a celebratory chicken candle 😭 Overall it was the perfect experience and we will definitely be back!!!

Love this place! They have a small but affordable priced happy hour. Pizza is delicious and other menu items have been just as good! Have tried multiple drinks and all have been really good. Definitely recommend for any occasion dinner date/plans.

The best Italian experience I have had in Portland by far. Wine selection, excellent. Food, absolutely amazing. Service was wonderful, didn't rush us, and had great suggestions.

Had an exceptional experience at Nostrana! The food was delicious, staff was friendly and helpful. The dessert was especially good. The atmosphere was bar none. Highly recommend the mocktails.

We love Nostrana and their happy hour at Bar Enoteca next door. The Nostrana salad is the best salad in PDX and everything is always fresh and high quality. Happy hour gets you a personal Nostrana salad for $7 and $10 marg pizzas. You can also get dealers choice glasses of wine for $10. This is a fun place to meet up with friends for happy hour. The main restaurant is also great for a date night. Top notch wine list and rotating menu. One of our local favorites.

So good we came back twice in a week! The warm snap pea salad was amazing … I had to come back for a second and this time I didn’t share it :) The burger is easily one of the best I have ever had in my life! We will be returning a third time since I am dying to try the mussels they smelled to die for. Every dish we saw come out smelled and looked delicious. We ordered the steak frite the second time and also cannot recommend this dish enough. The fries are perfect crisp but also moist when you bite down. The meat was perfectly done and had a beautiful crust while the inside was still juicy. Edit: Came back again. We finally tried the mussels, which were amazing! We also have the cucumber gazpacho a try, we normally don’t like cold soup, and my husband said it was one of the best soups he haw ever tried in his life! The Marion berry parfait was also exquisite! Don’t skip dessert!

We had a great meal with two drinks for each of the four of us. The bill, with tip, was just under $500. Service was impecable. Flavors were intense for some dishes, and some were a little salty for my taste. The steak frites, requested medium rare, was medium on the outside and cold red in the middle. The onion soup presentation was most impressive, and tasted great as well. The madeleines for desert were incredible.

We had an exceptional evening at St Jack. While there were a few awkward moments with the staff, the food made up for it. When we first arrived with a reservation, they didn't have a table for 5 ready for us, and tried to put us at a table for 4 with a person on the end. They adjusted after we asked, stating that the tables I asked them to put together were not available when we arrived; however, that was a little like putting it on the diner because they did know we were coming. I had written on the reservation that it was my son's birthday, but they seemed unaware until I mentioned it, and then he got a scoop of ice cream with a candle. We were a late seating at 7:30, but not the only table still seated when we left, and we didn't get any kind of a thank you or goodbye. All minor things, but they do affect the whole experience, especially when you are at a high-end restaurant. But the food, oh the food, was marvelous. We started with lovely oysters that were scrumptuous, went on the bread and butter, light and fluffy with the perfect level of salt. The Gougeres warm from the oven were amazing, as was the chicken liver mousse. I thought the tartar de boeuf was very flavorful, but if you are a traditionalist, as some of my family they didn't love it as much but still liked it very much. My husband had the Sole, and it was an amazing surprise and would be my choice if I ate there again. The moules were lovely, and the curry broth you just want to drink straight from the bowl. The steak frite well well-cooked and fries w/the bernaise sauce were lovely (though a tad bit salty). We indulged in all three of their desserts, and the table was split between the Strawberry Choux and the Meyer Lemon Coeur a la crème as the best. Both were exceptional. We would definitely recommend eating here.

We went to St. Jack’s for my birthday and let me tell you it DID NOT disappoint. I’ve walked past this restaurant for years and have always wanted to try it and I’m so glad we did. My fiance and I sat at the chef’s counter, so we got to watch the team prepare the food. Everything was meticulously put together. We shared a cheese plate, appetizers and a plat principaux apiece. It ended up being more than enough food for the two of us. I wish I could point to one dish as a standout but everything was beyond. The endive salad was light and fresh, the steak was perfectly cooked, the copious amounts of butter in every dish was exactly what they all needed to be flavor bombs, and the light and fresh dessert was the perfect way to cap off our evening. We will be back to try out the pub side of the restaurant soon! We watched so many yummy looking burgers leave the counter (not available on the restaurant side) that we can’t help but want to try one.

Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the food is consistently outstanding. I appreciate the creativity in their ever-changing, seasonal menu. They also offer a great selection of drinks and wines. Hands down, the best French spot in Portland!

We had a lovely dinner at St Jack. We went for small plates: bones narrow, ris de veau, sunchoke tartiflettes along with pommes frites, olives and bread & butter. Everything tasted wonderful and feed us both more than necessary. We will return with my parents when they will visit us for Christmas.

Popped in for a drink and small plate to kill time. I sat at the bar and ordered the Daiquiri Rose and the Warm Haricot Verts. The barkeeper was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The space was warm and inviting. A little too warm for an 80 degree day. I felt that the food and drink were overpriced and underwhelming.

had a yummy breakfast sandwich and a refreshing glass of orange juice. such a cute little stop on my trip through portland! a bit of a smaller menu but plenty of unique and enjoyable meals to choose from.

A nice ol spot to enjoy baked goods and breakfast/lunch bites. Don’t skip on the honey cake with cream and lemon curd! I had it along with their yogurt, homemade granola, fresh fruits and honey.

This place is so cute. 5 friends and I decided to meet up here for brunch after talking about for forever. Word of advice get there early because it's very small and it fills up fast. We were like 3rd in line thank goodness because it's not a place for groups really. Also it says first come first serve but that's not true, they seat everyone at once and then randomly take orders so we waited properly 20 min before we saw a server. We were chatting it up and weren't in a hurry but it was kinda disappointing. We were ready to order when she finally came which was good because we never saw her again. You pay at the front once you are done. The food was so good. I got the breakfast sandwich. The menu is different every day so if you are thinking you are going to get something that's pictured on Google then you may be disappointed. I was hoping for the breakfast burrito. The pastries in the case were so yummy. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids here. Glad I finally tried it but I probably won't be back.

This was my first time visiting Sweedeedee, and I was immediately charmed by the cozy, welcoming vibe of this cute little neighborhood spot. The service was quick, and everything felt relaxed yet efficient. I ordered the turkey sandwich, which was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The bread was fluffy and tasted homemade, which made it even better. I also had the English breakfast tea, and I loved that it was loose leaf and served in a French press—such a thoughtful touch! I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying some of their bakery items. A lovely find!

Late lunch was a hit! Ordered the zucchini sandwich (add bacon). Delicious, served quickly and the atmosphere is clean and airy. Loved the vinyl being played through the small space.

A wonderful spot for Brunch! Hot tip, the hours on google are wrong. They’re now open at 9am Friday through Sunday!

This place was one of my most highly anticipated brunch spots but I was pretty disappointed in my visits. The menu is limited as is, but they also didn’t have both the items I wanted to order that morning, so it was slim pickings. I’m sure the pastry chef is the reason I’m here because the pistachio raspberry cake was unbelievable and I originally came here for pie. As for grandma’s toast, it was charred on the bottom and every bite essentially tasted like burnt toast. The breakfast sandwich was meh, cookies were decent, and drink was refreshing. Service was also very slow so expect to spend at least a couple hours if you’re a group of 2-3. I’ll probably just reserve a piece of pie and pick it up the next time.

G-Love New American Kitchen in Portland is a vibrant spot that’s earned a loyal following for its inventive menu and lively atmosphere. It’s especially popular for its signature cocktails, like the *Cecilia* and *Maria Teresa*, and standout dishes such as the Crusty Avocado, Charred Hanger Steak, and Mini Donuts. The vibe is hip and energetic—think open kitchen, friendly staff, and even a bit of buzz around their quirky, photo-worthy bathrooms. While many diners rave about the flavors and presentation, a few mention that portion sizes can feel a bit light for the price. Still, the chef’s tasting menu gets high marks for variety and value. If you’re into bold flavors, creative plating, and a fun night out, G-Love might just hit the spot.

Very popular with vegans and people with allergies, the restaurant reinterprets familiar dishes or invents dishes whose ingredients don’t always go together. All the dishes look very good but the taste is not up to expectations - the lamb was raw, the peppers and pasta were too fatty, the cherry toast looked great but remained uneaten. We were a very crowded group of 6 at a table inside, and we shared a few dishes. The waitress took our plates and cutlery when there was still food on the table. Portions are very small. Expensive.

Amazing time at G Love! I loved seeing the kitchen! Our mocktails were so tasty and the skewers were perfect sized bites (our favorite was the maple pork belly!) Other great items on the menu were the crusty avocado, beet cured salmon, cioppino, and fried chicken! Don’t skip dessert, we got the golden cloud which had a foam on top of ice cream- so good! Ambiance of the restaurant was cool (I loved the lava lamp!) and the service was great! We’ll be back to try the family style!

Everything at this place is just amazing. It's sort of like everything is literally peanut butter and jelly from both the flavors and the textures. It's a complex combination of things and super interesting. We even got a free gift at the end! Order size 2-3 plates per person. Expect a small pips donut sized donut at the end! --- drinks --- Princess peach ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - so good - whisky was like a back taste - not overly sweet --- food --- Beets + Citrus ⭐⭐⭐ - sweet, liked it a lot by itself - wouldn't reorder though, was almost like a dessert for me ❤️Crunchmaster crisp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I loved this - hit the spot and a generous serving ❤️ Ribollita ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - reads like an American Italian soup - so comforting though, I love the beans - I wasn't put off by the soggy croutons which I ordinarily am, these croutons were amazing Hamachi Crudo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - liked the layers of complex flavors - so soft ❤️Mushroom grilled cheese ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - couldn't taste the truffle but absolutely amazing - would order again - guilty pleasure - not super oily or greasy Ensalata bomba ⭐⭐⭐✨ - really good but wouldn't order again - think it pales in comparison to the crunch master crisp - had some really good bites - needed more apple relish Seared scallops ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - liked the sauce a ton - not sure if worth - perfectly seared though Winter grits ⭐⭐⭐✨ - pretty good for grits - not for me though but my partner loved it - loved all the bites with apples Fingerling potatoes ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - won't blow your mind but the sauce makes the dish, it's creamy and sort of like a very light loaded potato - somewhat small bowl ❤️Crusty avocado ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - the crunch and fish was great together - would reorder this for sure Fried chicken with avocado ranch ⭐⭐⭐✨ - pretty small serving for the price, 17 dollars for 5 pieces - could have a little more flavor for the sauce Cauliflower a la plancha ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - good but doesn't blow my mind - love the crispy potatoes - really relies on the sauce Braised short rib ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - I loved the combination of textures - I wish it had more chimichurri - super soft, and they know it too, they only give you a fork - think the meat was just ok to me, but the combination of flavors is what I liked --- dessert --- Poached pear ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - not overly sweet - loved the combination of textures Cinnamon donut ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - was given to us as a gift!! I almost cried. - so amazing. Creamsicle cloud ⭐⭐⭐ - one part was a little too bitter for me - my partner loved it - like the crunch and cream on top though

Small-plate style dining. Definitely a great date night find if you are in for amazing food and ambiance. Must tries are the crunchy avocado(do not miss this!), crunchmaster salad, fingerling potatoes and fried chicken. Portions are small and enough for 2-4 little bites, so dont come too hungry 😅 It is worth it though coz everything’s delicious!! Looking for parking is a challenge. Servers are friendly.

110% This restaurant is perfect. The parking is difficult to find and expensive. Not the restaurant's fault. This restaurant gets the She Ash Most Beautiful Bathroom award. Sorry, I did not take Bathroom Photos. This is a nice grown up restaurant. Your children may ruling the romantic atmosphere for other customers. The staff is well mindful of food allergies. I will return to this restaurant to enjoy the food and vibe.

Decided to grab dinner and catch up with a friend; Victoria was bartending at this incredible spot! As a self-proclaimed foodie and veggie lover, especially mushrooms 🍄, this place was a dream. Victoria made happy hour unforgettable.

Everything here was good, the lamb, the shrimp, the pita, the hummus, the fries. I even enjoyed the pita a lot. I wish the portions were a bit bigger, or any of the food came with pita or fries. That's really the only thing that keeps us from coming back often. It's a cool spot, and the people working there are kind. The inside has a nice vibe and there's outdoor seating.

Cute, casual spot to feast on some of the tastiest dishes, topped off with a cool soft serve dipped treat. Order at the counter and find yourself a seat. Would highly recommend the lamb skewers, hummus and lots of fresh pitas. Can’t wait to be back and try more!

Bluto's has a casual space and a very focused limited menu. Not complaining though -- its nice to have that sometimes-- makes your choice easy. Their hummus was one of the best I've had. Also loved the beets & quinoa salad. Chicken souvlaki was good too. The only thing we didn't particularly like were the charred vegetables -- they were a little too smoky! They had to make us move to another table mid-meal just to accommodate a bigger group together. That wasn't an issue for us but they went out of their way to make up for it -- apologizing profusely and even offering free dessert (but we were too full to take up that offer). Appreciate the courtesy though!

This was our first meal in Portland (ever) after driving 9 hours from Northern California. Found this place on a whim. And it was the most perfect introduction to the food in Portland. Everything was so good! We ordered the hummus, shrimp, chicken and lamb skewer, fries with two sides of bread. And soft serve for dessert. So flavorful and perfect for two very hungry people. The lamb was my favorite. Perfectly seasoned and spiced. I cannot wait to come back to Portland just to eat here again.

Nice neighborhood-y spot with some super tasty Greek-inspired dishes. The hummus is great, as are the Greek Fries. Place gets crowded though so maybe go early - they don’t take rezzies and it’s a bit small.

Went there for a late lunch. Everything tasted amazing! The bread and hummus combo was our favorite amongst everything we ordered! Wished the meat portion was larger considering the price we are paying for them.

I was pleasantly surprised by the good value, this full-size plate of french fries with a lot of haloumi cheese grated on top was $6, and four of us had dinner for only $54 before tip. The attention to detail was impressive, all the people working there were working together as a team really well to get everyone seated.

Beautiful food and amazing, gregarious staff. With seating within and outside of a beautifully house located on a nice, cozy street; Malka is an amazing dining option. While we didn't have any of the salads (4:30PM and after), the entrees had plenty of veggies to sate our appetites for greens. I'll leave the pictures to do most of the talking. Delicious food and friendly, upbeat service. I only wish I had discovered it sooner.

I have to take pause because I could write a whole love letter for Malka. The dishes that come out of this kitchen make this restaurant sit firmly in the top 5 of all time, which is a tall order given my affinity for Southeast Asian foods. I’ll keep it brief. Do the prix fixe. It’s a lot of food, but you can take it home. Eating in person is a far better experience than eating at home, which I also think is phenomenal. If I was to pick one dish to write a song for, it would be the Bellflower, a beautiful and delicious medley of sweet, savory, crunchy, tart, and overall delicious ingredients that seems a bit confused before it all comes together. Also try the Jolene, Medusa, Rhododendron Garden, 45th and Clay, and I Have a Lot of Feelings (basically the rice version of Bellflower). Enjoy!!!

The food of is amazing! Every dish has so much flavor, color, and texture. We loved all of the use of seasonal produce. The service was casual, but super friendly. We will go back for sure!

This place has been on my bucket list. They have a lot of options for gluten-free and vegan. At the same time, satisfying my husband with slow-roasted pork. We ordered from the three-course menu. For the first course, we got the Medusa and Old Deuteronomy. For the second course, we got the Bellflower and Wind-Up Merchant. For the last course, we got the I Have a Lot of Feelings and the Important Helmet for Outer Space, 2nd Ed. Every bite was emersed with flavor. We will be back :)

It is insane how good this food is. The (many) ingredients in each dish are creatively paired in a way that blows you away with each bite. The environment was comfortable, I love the vibe, and the service was great.

What a fun spot for a date night or for those who enjoy big, bold flavors. The ambience is so unique as they have completely transformed an old house into a quaint restaurant, with equally bold decor as the flavors. The unique and delightful flavor combinations will keep us coming back with others to experience.

An incredible place! Every dish is amazing and every bite is like a happy dance in your mouth! Love the kindness, generosity, and beauty of the space and the people. We were gifted with a spoonful of mango sorbet for dessert. What a sweet ending to wonderful feast. Grateful!

They didn’t even mix my salad. Kind of hard to eat it. I don’t have a separate mixing bowl. Don’t order a full. It’s just full of lettuce and not the other goodies. Very disappointing.

😎 Salads can be cool! My wife got the Oregon Trail with chicken. I got mine with artichoke hearts. ❤️ I got good portions of the ingredients. I like how you can add good stuff to the salad. It is cheap but in my opinion it's worth it especially for its size. A Fred Meyer salad can be $8 with 4 topings and half the size so I choose Garden Monster hands down. The food cart area is nice too. Seating with umbrellas. Beer and coffee next door. A salad is not just a salad by the way to all out there that poopoo food salad carts. We will go back to try some of the other salads. It was a nice outing on Division.

We get lunch catering everday for Twist Bioscience!!! Monster salad has change my life I love lunch time now. Amazing!!! I can’t stop trying.

Great food cart in Portland. Fast service, easy to navigate menu with a million ways to customize your order.

On the hunt for the best chicken caeser wrap. The ingredients were good and very fresh but not mixed well so the first half of the wrap had no dressing or chicken. No croutons in the wrap either which is my favorite part of a good caeser wrap. The hunt continues.

I had The Oregon Trail salad (full disclosure, I did order it with the double serving of grilled chicken as the protein, but I asked for the chicken on the side, so that the photograph would essentially be representative of the un-tossed, "Skip the protein and save $3" version, which would be vegetarian, but could easily be made vegan via substitutions). The greens were fresh and crisp, the quantities of toppings were well-balanced, and were high-quality. The vinaigrette dressing was very mild / light compared to most others I have had, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing - it allowed the other ingredients to shine, whereas often, a dressing can overpower a salad. The grilled chicken was good, and I have always enjoyed fancy / bougie salad toppings. It was possibly a tiny bit pricey for even a fancy salad, but not absurdly so; I do plan to return to try other menu items - likely the build your own salads and wraps. If they are good, I will probably bump the rating up to five stars. Garden Monsters has multiple locations, SE Division and NE Alberta in Portland and SW Rose Biggie in Beaverton. They specialize in salads, bowls and wraps, have plant-based proteins available, such as veggie chicken, soy curls and organic tofu and they also have numerous vegetarian and vegan toppings. Essentially, it appears that they can (very capably) cater to vegetarian, vegan, omnivore, and possibly even gluten free diets - I saw it mentioned (I believe online) that they have a grill that doesn't touch animal products, but I don't know about a completely gluten-free preparation area, so I would definitely still recommend calling ahead to ask about gluten practices, if you have Celiac disease (as I am certain is standard procedure for those who suffer from it). I also read online that all of the to-go packaging they provide is 100% biodegradable. If you like my photo, and would like to see more local Portland-area food, feel free to check out my foodie Instagram at IG: jonathan.grubb and follow me for more foodventure ideas!

Nice selection, over dressed for my liking. Lots of green, little protein. Food cart pod, nice if weather is dry

be careful of the spice!!! medium will set your mouth on fire. we are pretty good with spice so we were surprised but the flavors were good regardless. service was a little slow because there was only one guy working.

Restaurant was beautiful, clean, and inviting. Our server was also warm and perfectly attentive. I really appreciated and enjoyed all the unique takes on papaya salad offered at Somtum Thai Kitchen. The salmon salad was delicious but was a lil too sweet for my liking. The goong chae nam-pla was flavorless unless dipped into the green sauce provided. I wasnt crazy about the green sauce. It had a weird taste as if the lime was from a squeeze bottle. I preferred to dip it into the same sauce as the salmon. The papaya salad was delicious as well as the crab fried rice. Would definitely love to try more from their menu.

Seem to be authentic northern Thai food. Interesting to try, be ware some dishes are super salty. I’ve had many Thai food and some are authentic type rather than American Thai, and some can be very spicy, sour. But this is the first time about half of the dishes are way too salty for all 3 of us. - Somtum thai Kai Kem, too salty, the salted duck egg is the saltiest I’ve had in my life. - Pa Khao Noi, a combination plate I recommend. I especially like the fried pork ribs and crispy rice salad. Tom sap kradook on (soup) is too salty. - Gaeng Om Kai, supposed to be medium spicy but not spicy at all. Again too salty. Otherwise I like this soup, I dilute with 1-2x water to drink it.

The salad rolls were delicious, dark green and red leaf lettuce, I loved the spicy peanut cream sauce...the pad kee mow (the drunken noodle dish) flavor was great, the beef was shit, it was so tough I couldn't chew it, spit most of it out, then I just quit trying and pushed the alleged beef to the side. The red curry, also delicious, but the chicken was so dry it was not edible. Picked it out too...then the rice I added to the curry was so dry it wasn't really edible either. As others mentioned I did notice fruit flies around my food, I thought maybe it was because I was sitting next to the alter where they offer food to the dead...they are lucky they are dead...the server only once asked me how my meal was, a single person ordering 2 entrees and an appetizer, after my second bite of food in my mouth, gave him a nod (it was a bite of the amazing salad roll) he saw me spitting out the beef and chicken and pushing the rest to the side, but quickly looked away like he didn't want any confrontation, I was expecting to take enough home for a second meal (2 entrees and an appetizer) but the little I was able to eat wasn't very filling and there was nothing I wanted to take home, I went up to pay and was finally asked how my meal was, I was honest, said beef was tough, chicken dry and neither edible, he smiled and said "yes" then charged me the full amount. I said no, I wasn't paying the full amount, he said I should have mentiond something to my server, I would have if they had ever been back around, I said "I didn't even eat it all, half of it I had to spit back out onto the plate, it's right there, see?" he said I need to pay the full amount, I said no, I will just leave without paying anything, he said I can't do that, I then said "at least let me pay for part of it then, but I'm not paying the full amount" he finally took off part of the tab, but begrudgingly. So sad, I was excited for a late night thai restaurant with such a great looking menu, but the service was shit and the proteins inedible...I might be back for the salad rolls...or probably not

Our favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Flavor, quality and service are consistent every time we go. We recommend their fried chicken, papaya salad and crab fried rice. One of the underrated dishes is Chicken and tamarind soup. Tangy and well balanced soup that goes well with anything!

Food was delicious. Appreciate the variety of authentic traditional dishes. It was all so good. I can’t stop thinking about the food.

I’ve been here twice, both visits were magical. The food, the ambiance, the kind service. I wanted to stay for hours. Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been phenomenal. Me and my friends are planning to come back regularly. The staff are also so sweet, genuinely kind people. They’ve created a beautiful establishment! 💛

A quintessential Portland restaurant. It is very Portland like atmosphere. The food is good, just hope they have a slightly larger menu. But that maybe the part it makes a Portland restaurant. Service is good and staff are nice. I wish I had a bigger stomach to enjoy their dessert. Nice place to hang out.

We happened upon Papa Haydn while walking and decided to come back for dinner. It was one of the best decisions of our whole vacation. Every item ordered was delicious, including the mocktail, salad, entree, and dessert. It was also surprisingly affordable for the high quality of food. Definitely stop in if you can, even if only for dessert.

We came for dinner without reservations the Sunday before Christmas!!! Crazy us, but we were patient and ended up with a pretty short wait! Our server was awesome and the food was absolutely delicious. I used to say this was a great place for dessert but just skip dinner… twice, now, I have been wrong in a short span of time. Dinner was so good! I think it rivaled my dessert! Haha! Will definitely revisit for special occasions.

Went in for dessert and a night cap around 9 pm. the baked Alaska was top notch. the waitress we had must have had a long she was checked out with 2 more hours until they close. I will be back to try other items on the menu

We didn't have reservations, but they seated us quickly. But, it was down hill from there. Placed our order and waited and waited and waited. 40 minutes later we were served. Then we made the error of ordering their famous desserts and waited and waited and waited. They were not busy, but somehow everything took a very long. The food quality is only average. The desserts look the part, but are really hit or miss. Finally, this place does have a kids menu, but it really isn't kid friendly. Everyone will give you're group dirty looks if you bring in kids under 12.

My crab cake was cool and the egg was cold. Luckily potatoes very hot to bring some warmth to the dish. For those prices I expected more. . When I brought it home and reheated my liking. My partner who is a chef tasted it and said they must be afraid of the salt shaker there :(

Visiting from Texas, I didn't expect to be blown away by the filet mignon, easily one of the best I've had. Just the right amount of char and a sweet sauce to balance the bitterness. The broccoli and potatoes wanted a little salt but that may just be my palette. Really enjoyed the cocktails as well, they weren't overpowering and really delivered on the described flavor. Brittany's service was attentive and much appreciated, the entire staff was very pleasant as well. Edit as of summer 2025: They've improved on perfection, the Collete steak absolutely impresses with a chimichurri sauce and buttery savor to support the potatoes and asparagus. 10/10 They update their menu fairly often, the ribeye is still very good although sides are now a la carte, the included sweet salad was quite good

This is a wonderful restaurant! My daughter said the milk bread on this crab roll was the best she has ever had. The fresh pasta tastes like it is straight out of a cafe in Italy. Wonderful wine list by the glass and bottle selection. To top it off we each had a scoop of fresh custard that was perfect. We highly suggest this great place.

100% worth booking the 6 course meal. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their craft. Also, you easily get your money’s worth in terms of food. You will not have to worry about leaving hungry or “not getting enough.” Everything is perfectly balanced and well paired. I cannot stress how great of an experience I had here.

Beast is one of the restaurants that are hard to get a reservation at, and rightfully so! We were lucky to book a table for a Sunday brunch last minute, and enjoyed a surprisingly diverse and creative three-course meal. Both the presentation and taste of the dishes were fantastic, and a set of petit fours was a welcomed addition to the after-brunch coffee. The menu changes daily, and includes best-in-season local ingredients, prepared and served with great attention to details. The restaurant offers only set menus, which are priced right and let you simply enjoy the experience without worrying about your choice. After trying the brunch menu, we decided to book a dinner at Beast for our next visit to Portland.

One of the more memorable meal of my life. My husband and I had such a great time. We sat at a table with complete strangers and at first was worried, but we met some awesome people. The food was amazing, the wine pairing was superb and we were stuffed!! Highly recommended!!

Great brunch done family style seating and a set menu. Flavors were awesome. Too much pet nat wines for my liking for the wine flight. Should have 2 wine pairings, 1 pet nat and 1 regular.

The absolute best single bite of pasta I've ever had, BEAST is a standout even amongst the elite of Portland's culinary scene! From 'Taste and Technique' to creativity and presentation, the entire experience is pure excellence!

This was the highlight of our trip to Portland and literally everything was perfect. The wine paring was particularly exceptional! 10/10 for food, mood and service

Lovely little shop with interesting menu. One page double sided of delicious options. The fries they have a crispy and fluffy inside and so perfectly seasoned! We had mussels appetizer in ginger sake and it was incredible. My biscuits and gravy was amazing and reasonably price for the food I got. Ate the leftovers for dinner same day. So good

An amazing and unique place to check out, with options that are not commonly found on menus I've seen. Great value for the amount of food that you receive. Romantic setting is an added plus. Very impressed by how fast the staff reacts to needs and wants. A must try

Never a dull moment, with interesting, varied takes on the classic dishes, a few surprises, excellent cocktail program and happy hour 7 days a week at the Observatory. The somehow soothing but eccentric decor manages to give off a refined yet casual vibe, and there’s great service every time we’ve been. Get the mussels or the chicken wings.

Fun menu for sure, People are pretty nice and upbeat, seem to turn tables quickly enough which is good since no reservations! Food was ok...farmed salmon was cooked fine, potato pancakes were mushy, tuna was medium rare red in come places and blue in others. Trout was great!

This place is great!! If you want to try something new or stick to the same old same old then this is the place for you! They had a wonderful array of items to choose from. We orderd the elk buger, lamb buger and the soup of the day. Everything came out warm and flavorful. Our server was very professional and kind! Always checking in at the best times. Highly recommend 10/10

This place had a great rating and was open later than most places. Open till 10 when most places closed at 9. I have to say food was really good. Nice atmosphere. GREAT place for a date. Staff was so nice. Had some cool pieces on the wall for sale. Definitely different and kind of cool. The high ratings are totally true. Loved the fried fish and the dessert creme brulee.

When I’m in Portland, The Observatory is my go-to spot. It is perfect for a solo, date night, or group hangout. The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced, and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Their food is also excellent! The area used to be cleaner, but with Portland’s rising houselessness, you might see people passed out or yelling near the parking lot. In my experience, they’ve been harmless, but it can be unsettling to see people passes out due to fentanyl or other drugs. It’s not something the restaurant can control, just something to be aware of—but definitely not a reason to skip this place.

It's very close to the Washington Park and I walked in from the park. There are maybe bakeries to choose from. I like palmier so I ordered the one. It's the last one. Amazingly good. Both coffee and bakeries are reasonably priced and the staff are very kind and helpful. There are long table 8 and small round tables for two people. Big window and old fashion interior. I love here.

This bakery has been on my favorites for a while and I finally got around to trying it. It definitely lived up to my expectations. I got the seasonal vegetable quiche and it was soo good. My friend and I both got the Oregon croissant which was delicious. The ingredients and bread here are so fresh. You walk in and it smells amazing. However, it was definitely busy and had a line around 9:30am but I would wait for another pastry here anytime.

TLDR; amazing tarts, may probably have to take it to go since tables might not be available We came in late in the afternoon and just got a small mocha, an apple tart and a chocolate hazelnut tart between the two of us. We did get lucky enough to get a table because someone left as soon as we ordered but the place was absolutely FULL when we arrived! The coffee is nice - not too sweet (which is always an issue with mochas), not acidic, super smooth. Love that they have an 8oz size! The tarts were delicious too - I did like the apple tart more than the chocolate hazelnut (which surprised me) - the apple almond combination really was what did it for me! The chocolate one is still pretty nice too- again, not too sweet, very rich with a hint of bitterness. The crust on both was really good - broke easily, not dry, not soggy.

We had lunch here at noon on July 26. The almond croissant and apricot tart were both tasty. My partner said his sandwich, Ken's hero, was quite good as well. I didn't see any flies, but I saw some dust around the A/C. Everything else looked clean.

The baked goods and food is delicious!!! we got the vegetable and bacon quiche, as well as a carrot cake, some type of bread that had goat cheese and leeks in it, and two coffees. My coffee was called something ay laite with homemade vanilla and oat milk in it. It was delicious and then we took it next-door to the bookstore and red ball. We hung out. It was absolutely lovely. I highly recommend. Also the Customer Service was very nice and everyone there seemed friendly has a nice welcoming vibe.

We stopped in for a quick lunch, and got a sandwich, soup, and pastry. Sandwich was good, but the highlight was definitely the bread and the pastry we ordered. The baked goods definitely seemed to be a step above the rest, which is what you would expect. Worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. Definitely a local haunt if you live nearby. Overall 7.3/10.

Here is a memory from my breakfast visit to Ken’s. A lady beside me is taking notes from a science book she is reading. A woman on the long table was crying, freshly wounded by the disclosure of a disappointment. Her two friends huddled her for comfort. My mother in front of me, looking radiant in the morning light while we slowly make our way through the goats cheese and leek croissant and the Oregon croissant whose tart filling perfectly encapsulate the chilly fresh air I breathed in my days here. A cup of mocha that is rich and whose vanilla bean fragrance wafts. Lines that snake to the entrance of people eagerly waiting for their pastries. It was nothing but warmth. And just like that, my morning is made.

Tusk delivers on every front. The service was genuinely excellent—friendly, attentive, and perfectly paced. The drinks were an absolute 10/10, creative and beautifully balanced. The food? Outstanding. The falafel stole the show—bright green inside from plenty of fresh parsley, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly flavorful. It instantly reminded me of the legendary falafel from Mamoun’s in New York, which is high praise. If you’re in Portland and want a place where stellar drinks meet unforgettable Middle Eastern–inspired food, Tusk should be at the top of your list

Beautiful, calm aesthetic and fun dishes/small plates and cocktails. We did the tasting menu and it was great to try things we might not have ordered otherwise. Our favorites were the salad with tahini dressing and the panna cotta for dessert!

Stopped by Tusk for dinner to satisfy cravings for mediterranean fare. The space and atmosphere were very nice, perfect for dining. The food was just okay with its ups and down. Highlight was probably the chicken skewer; cooked nicely and very juicy. Lowlights was the salad that drenched in dressing and overly salty. Something I found bizarre was that the hummus does not come with any bread. You have to order it separately and of course pay extra. If you order the hummus ($12) alone you’re expected to eat it with your spoon. Beware of the 20% forced gratuity!

Delicious falafel . Mediterranean food such falafel ,labneh Hummus usually presented with pita bread but not at Tusk bread is a la carte . A new trend in Portland a 20% service charge is automatically added as part of the bill instead of tip .

Honestly one of the better restaurant experiences I've had in a while. We chose to go with the Deluxe Edition and loved it. The food just kept coming, we got to try most of the snacks & dips, several of the salads, lamb neck, and two desserts. Everything tasted fantastic, but the heirloom carrots were the highlight with a delicious walnut muhammara. They have a decent selection of non-alcoholic drinks which is really nice to see. Highly recommend, would go there again.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted by very friendly staff at the door, from the bar, and when we sat down. It felt like we were acknowledged and greeted by all the staff. It created a very warm welcoming, homey feeling. Right away we were greeted by our server, she asked about drinks and we started there.. we asked a couple questions about the menu and the 3 of us discussed the menu. 2 of the 3 of us are pretty much vegetarians (1 on the omnivore fence too) so our meal was going to be pretty veggie forward. But alas that's not a problem with Tusk's menu. Great menu selections to share items! We had a variety of items and all were uniquely delicious. From the gigante beans - wow, delicious. Kolrabi, pear, bergamot, tarragon dish- again delicious, interesting flavors, fun. Baked cheese with the warm flatbread- yum, could eat this every night, just yummy and cosy, delicious. The Brussels, avocado, lentils- fun chilled dish- very good and loved the crunch of lentils. We also had the spicy hot cherry sauce condiment and it really does go on everything so fun! And the chicken thighs entree with a light rice with pickled shallow and blistered green onion. Hit home, delicious, on a wet drizzly cool nite, could be my go too once a week. We really enjoyed everything and wine! Who doesn't love a good Oregon wine to go their dishes. Great! Only thing we didn't care for was sitting on the enclosed patio. It would've been ok, if it wouldn't have been for a couple things. There were two separate large parties sat across from us, both trying to talk over one another so it was extremely loud in the tent and since it was raining, I was continuously getting a drip, drip, drip on me throughout our meal. Having to shift around every so often. We all remarked on the plates, the metal plates. Did not like them, felt cold, hospital plate and didn't go with the quality of your food. But your food is so delicious it would have been nice to have it shine and be see on a proper plate. Also to of gotten new, refreshed plates mid meal too. Overall, great food and next time in Portland will definitely come back.

Lovely experience! Our waitress was absolutely lovely. Our drinks were made well, and all the items we got hit the spot. We shared the classic humus (with each a flatbread), Little Gems salad, Beef kafta skewer, and the Hawaii spiced chicken skewer. More than enough to leave us satisfied. We also shared the Orange Blossom Coriander ice cream which was definitely a different taste but somehow all the flavors worked. We were seated outside which was perfect as the weather was quite nice that evening. However, as we were closer to the outside corner we noticed little of those tiny gnat flies that was swarming in the beginning which was quite annoying and made our experience not exactly top tier. But overall we enjoyed our dinner.

I’m sure this place is nice most of the time however I did find a bug in my food. It wouldn’t have been too much of an issue if it weren’t for the reaction of the employee I told- there was no refund offered and I was expecting him to tell the kitchen about the issue but it seemed like he didn’t care at all. He offered to remake my food but seeing as the bug was INSIDE of the tofu in my sandwich, I wasn’t very confident that the remade sandwich would be satisfactory. Just a little concerning for the overall cleanliness and safety of the food storage at this specific Harlow.

My family of four was delighted to find a yummy spot to enjoy lunch. One of my daughters is vegan and it can be a challenge to find restaurants for all of us to find something we like. This plaice had a variety of delicious choices and we were all happy! Cute decor, too.

I have recently had to change my way of eating and came across this place. I absolutely loved it, so taste and good portions. Staff friendly, nice atmosphere. I got the farmers scramble and my fiancé had the Walnut banana GF pancakes 🥞. We will definitely frequent.

This place was recommended to us by a friend and we were quite impressed. Delicious food and friendly service. We were very happy with our experience and definitely plan to be back on our next Portland visit.

Went here after a hike with a friend at his recommendation and got the walnut chorizo quesadilla. Was not disappointed. It was so flavorful and delicious. Plus the sauce that came with it? *Chefs kiss* Absolute banger of an item. Want to go back and try other things on the menu too since it all looks fantastic but man that quesadilla was so good I don't know if I want to branch out! The staff were also super friendly and the outdoor seating was comfortable. Pricing was great as well. Would absolutely recommend.

Stopped by Harlow and tried their no-cow-milk London Fog. It was okay—not bad, but not great. The drink was heavily sweetened with honey, which overpowered the other flavors a bit. If you like your drinks very sweet, you might enjoy it more. The atmosphere and service were nice, but overall, the drink didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

I'm not vegan or gluten free but my gf is vegan and her friend is gluten free Well got to say it was really good and I would definitely come back

5 star means I'd kill to come back. 4 star is just short of that 3 star is real good decent food Would I come back absolutely. Most restaurants fall into this category.

Disappointing. I am not an expert and I do not have extensive experience with Lebanese cuisine. Perhaps the few places I have been have spoiled me. I ordered the mezza platter and added a kofta kabob. I paid extra for pita, which led me to believe it would be freshly made. Unfortunately it was a sad, thin, cold grocery store grade pita bread. The hummus was passable, but bland. The falafel was gooey inside and bland. The tabouli was passable but not very tangy. I don't have much experience with stuffed grape leaves, but I found these unappetizing. The Kofta was lightly spiced, but I have had much better. The only things that were remotely flavorful, was the yogurt that came with the kofta and the roasted cauliflower. I found myself eating quickly to get the experience over with. Probably the best thing about the meal was it was forgettable. Service was okay, other than you have to place your order at the counter. $30 plus tip

Visited for Portland Pizza Week to try their slice. Everything they make is incredible, so i had no doubt their slice would be equally fresh and tasty. Just as I imagined, it was all the flavors on top of a pillowy pita bread crust. And the hummus for dipping the slice alone was worth the $4 special price.

If you're looking for wonderful flavored food and great customer service...this is a place for you. The younger girl at the front who took our order was so kind and courteous to us and explained everything on the menu and even brought us water to a table inside to review and answer questions about. We ordered at the register and then she asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside and we went outside. Tbh I was confused at first with a tip option and ordering at the register however, once you order food they truly take of the rest. Bringing food out, drinks, checking in and wonderful conversation. She even sold us on a wonderful Rose beverage she makes that was delightful. We were a little sticker shock from the half chicken option but wow it is a lot of food and tasted so amazing we would easily pay that price again. I think the owners could learn a thing or two from her as she was doing a great job on selling us all these options and ended up making this place a favorite of ours. Only downfall we experienced was the desserts weren't sweet enough for us and the outdoor patio had the sewer smell going on. I think if the girl running the register wouldn't of been so friendly and accommodating we would have enjoyed the atmosphere as much.

We had such a great experience at Ya Hala – especially in the Fairuz Room. The atmosphere instantly transported us—it truly felt like we were in Beirut. The hummus was exceptional—ultra creamy and smooth—and the falafel struck the perfect balance of crisp and tender. The grape leaves had a distinctly Lebanese flair, and the cocktails were festive, with a great nod to Lebanese flavors throughout the drinks list. Mirna took such good care of us, especially being pescatarians, and made sure we had plenty of thoughtful options. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate Lebanese culture—through food, hospitality, and community. We’ll definitely be back!

Im definitely coming back again! You know when the food is so good you can’t even talk or are only talking about who you want to bring next time, that’s this place! It did not disappoint! The plates a big for a decent price and the HUMMUS 🤤 tastes as authentic as anything else here.

Stopped in an was immediately greeted and provided some water. I went with the lamb kabob plate, and it was delicious. The portions are large, and the meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I grabbed a baklava on my out, and am sure glad I did. While it's packaged up, it tasted fresh and was a perfect end to the meal.

Had a great meal here! Our server was very kind and accommodating, from setting up chairs and a table so we could eat outside, to making suggestions on modifying dishes to accommodate food allergies while keeping them tasting great, we couldn’t have asked for better service. And the food was scrumptious!!

We recently partnered with Verde Cocina to cater our Volunteer Appreciation Party, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented—our volunteers are still talking about it! The staff was attentive, easy to work with, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. Their care and quality really helped make our event feel special. We’re so grateful for their support and would gladly work with them again. Highly recommend!

Amazing vegan food! All sauces are plant based and the tea is out of this world. Thomas was an amazing server. We really enjoyed our experience. 😊

First time visiting and I loved all our food! So savory so delicious 🤤 Even my picky eaters enjoyed their meal 👌🏽

Really nice place. Very clean and nice decor. The family had a really nice time. Especially because of Jeff. He was on his top of his game from beginning to end. He made one of the top best Bloody Mary's ive ever had. The food was full of flavor and the dessert he brought us was wondering. Will definitely be back when in the area.

Gluten free and dairy free available! The best Chips and Salsa, very fresh, crispy and salty, my favorite way! We had beef fajitas and chicken fajitas. Wonderful!

The best Mexican food in Portland. Everything blew me away - the marg’s, guac, pico, the carne tacos. Can’t recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back.

We heard very good things about this restaurant. And I want to point out this is personal preference and from my viewpoint. The roti was delicious! You def have to order it! It was a very good start, thank you to our waiter for suggesting it. Then we got the salted egg shrimp. The flavor was just okay. It tasted like a normal curry. Then we got the tamarind fried chicken. To us this was not good at all. The way the chicken was fried was not executed well at all. The batter was weird. The sauce itself was off and didn’t work well at all. What made the dinner was our waiter, huge thanks to him

Really cute spot on the patio (the hideaway). Must get: roti. Super flaky Indian bread with a bit of salt on top. Excellent. Good sauce Solid: beef satay. A bit spicy. So my little one only had one piece. Skip: cucumber salad. Didn't like the fermentation of the cucumber combined with the yogurt. Skip. Sparkling rose by the glass was good. Mocktail " I am serious" was excellent with coconut and pineapple.

Wonderfully prepared food from the options to the presentation to the taste. Just a wonderful eating experience. The staff made it better by providing recommendations and tips as to how to fully appreciate the food. The roti (fried bread with squash curry dipping) is to die for. Absolutely delicious. Get it. Get two, both for you.

had an outstanding time dining solo here! the lamb satay was totally amazing alongside the coconut rice and roti canai. bartender not only made me a great bev but also went out of their way to recommend me some great nearby spots. thanks to oma’s for helping me feel at home ❤️

Really delicious food and fun restaurant. We had the a la carte menu (the chicken, the curry fries and the heirloom tomato salad) and everything was great. We didn't eat red meat otherwise we would have done the tasting menu. We also had the rice crispy dessert, which was delicious although definitely something you want to share! Service was also terrific

Wow what an experience! Tried Oma’s table for $65/person which was fun to try to many foods. I was honestly very impressed by the selection and how flavorful everything was! Not really enough food to get full on tbh and requires full table participation. I think it’s a try once and done type of thing. Skip on the drinks.. not worth!!! They are good but not $12 a drink good.. I’m a bit peeved since we were given “complementary” shots for waiting for our table reservation but they didn’t take it off our bills. Tough lol I am a big fan of the lamb martabak and roti canai! If, and I mean if, I ever come back, I would love to order those again. However, I will be financially recovering from eating out here. Almost dropping a benji for dinner was not on my 2025 bingo card but here we are. 8/10, but being charged for complementary drinks that we didn’t order or ask for leaves a sour taste in my mouth. 7/10. Would I come back? Maybe if I’m rich. If I’m dropping $65 baseline for a meal, I’d rather go to Fogo de Chão.

The yummiest roti!!! The special of the day was pork ribs that were unlike any I’ve had, and both our cocktails were great. Lovely service and lively atmosphere inside.

We've been driving by here for a decade and never stopped before. I'm glad we finally did. We tried the Black and White burger, the pepper steak and the fish n chips. The burger and steak were outstanding. I loved my burger. Wish I'd been eating here years earlier! The fish was good as well. The only weakness was the fries. They were not good, we still ate them. They were not bad, but every bite was a bit disappointing. They look great, but happened to be both burnt and soggy at the same time. The butterscotch pudding though. That was delicious. Get the Burger with a salad and pudding and beer!

Food was amazing!! Gluten free bun and tabor burger was so flavorful, will be back. The sangria and mock tails were really good. Seating indoor and outdoor, outdoor is nice but street side so just be aware can be noisy

A Tavern that it a cut above in food quality. All the sandwiches and salads are good, the fries are top tier, legit hand-cut pub style fries. One of the best fish and chips in Portland, and if you like the old school single piece of fish size of your forearm then this is it!

The full dinner fish ( advertised as haddock) and chips were a deep-fried culinary delight. Two IPAs on tap along with about six other beers.

Absolutely the worst clam chowder l have ever tasted. Returned it once for another bowl same slop. The waitresses was as bad as the chowder, so much for what was a good eatery. Truly inedible. Old Portland boy who appreciates good service and food -NOT HERE-.

My wedge salad was delicious. My son fried chicken sandwich fell apart and was not easy to eat. Placing more than one food stick to hold it together might be useful.

Very cute little hideaway in southeast. Their happy hour food specials are amazing and the cocktails are creative and use some fun local ingredients. It'd be a great place for a date night or to go out with friends, but I usually go in the afternoon with my laptop when I need to get work done but can't focus at home.

Beautiful space with amazing service. They were hit with a big table just as we were sat, so our meal took a moment to come to us. Our server apologized and brought us some wonderful bread to hold us over until our handmade pasta dishes were ready. Thank you Cibo! P.S. the salad choices are delectable!

Finally visited to Cibo and very happy that I made it. I went there on Tuesday night, yet quite busy. Service was spot on and food was delicious. A bit strong in garlic use, if you like garlic you’ll love their food. Their bar is excellent, cocktails were great. Their pizza is nice too, it comes with scissors. You have to cut it with scissors.

Caroline was awesome. They have a diverse wine list without egregious prices; the house red is a delicious Sangiovese . We had a variety of dishes including the pasta with fresh mussels and the rib ragu. Caesar salad was beautifully presented. Service timing was perfect. This should be on your list if you like great Italian food with service to match.

Absolutely amazing food, and Chrissie was the most amazing server! This was our first visit, but now Cibo is at the top of our list of favorite Portland restaurants.

My second time at Cibo, and it was just as amazing as the first! The food was incredible, and our server, Duncan, was an absolute delight. Their spinach is chef’s kiss — truly unforgettable. Last time we had the Tagliata hanger steak and Spaghetti Bolognese, both excellent. This time, we went for the Flat Iron Steak, Manila clam pasta, shrimp appetizer, and polenta fries (the only dish that wasn’t quite my thing). Whatever you do, get the panna cotta for dessert — you’ll thank me later. Cibo never misses — great food, warm service, and a perfect spot for a cozy, delicious night out.

Cibo serves up some really good Italian comfort food, and one of the best Caesar Salads around. Their wine list has a nice selection of Italian and OR wines at very reasonable prices, and the service is first-class.

Our server, Duncan, was incredibly kind, knowledgable, and was responsible for our all-around awesome experience. He gave us several recommendations (all of which ended up being excellent), and was attentive, helpful, and had a positive demeanor. Our food was also excellent. The ragu and bolognese are insane.

Great vibe and decent food. We came here because of the raving reviews, but the service was disappointing. We came here for dinner with a party of 6 and we understand that it is normal for popular restaurants to have wait times especially during regular lunch/dinner hours. The receptionist initially quoted about 35 to 50 minutes of wait time, and we waited over an hour for a table. What is more frustrating is - we told the receptionist that we are willing to be seated separately if it helps with the wait, because we have seen parties who have came after us get seated before us, but the receptionist said that we have been entered into the system as a party of 6 and it would mess the system up if we try to change it to two smaller parties. Understandable but also extremely inflexible as a business operator. When we finally got a table in the end, it wasn’t like it was one big table for 6, they had to join two tables together anyways so why make us wait for over an hour for that. The computer system might not be smart enough to make that flexible switch but human receptionists/operators should have been able to, that is why you are paid the money to work there and not just have a computer do everything. To top it off, they have the audacity to give us a bill that came with a 22% gratuity charge. Tipping should be optional first of all and 22% should be reserved for service that are outstanding. Not only did the people at this restaurant not do anything impressive for us, they weren’t even flexible enough to help us reduce our wait time to begin with. So despite the decent food and atmosphere in this restaurant, this will be a no from me for coming back or recommending.

Atmosphere is fun and hip. Prices are pretty steep for what it is. Service was great. We ordered the veggie curry and bbq pork fried rice. The curry was mid, very mild lacking flavor but the vegetables were nicely done. The fried rice was honestly inedible. The server took off the rice and mentioned that it is cooked in a wok that gets really hot. Honestly it tasted like the wok wasn’t cleaned off in between cooking and the over burnt flavor contaminated the fried rice. Every bite tasted like charcoal. Would recommend this place if you want very mild Thai food in a fun atmosphere but don’t get the fried rice unless maybe it’s lunch time when the wok is fresh.

When the sensual manifests itself in the form of food. This place is stunning. Easily one of the best restaurants in Portland. The staff dress uniquely and pleasantly, they are kind. The food, erotic explosions of flavors and tastes that are beyond description. (Not pictured) The cauliflower is an absolute must; the boneless wings are delicious. My mouth is watering like Pavlov’s dog as I’m writing this, with the simple memory. The way the brisket pairs with the curry — ephemeral. Wow, truly spectacular experience. Had to go again the following week. Highly recommend

I loved my experience at Eem! The service was quick and efficient- my meal arrived in about five minutes from ordering, and the check was already brought to my table immediately before finishing the food which I really appreciated. I was really excited to try the Thai bbq fusion. The white curry was honestly one of the best I have ever tried. The meat was super tender and the flavors were so rich and delicious. Highly recommend Eem!

Super duper cute place, I can definitely see why it’s popular. The papaya salad is fire, very very spicy. We love spicy food and it was nice to have it actually be spicy when they warn. The white curry was tasty but lacked acidity, even just a bit of a lime squeeze would do. The red vegetable curry had these amazingly prepared cremini mushrooms, but the overall flavor was a bit lacking, as if they hadn’t used quite enough curry paste. Overall a good experience tho, good music played in there and great vibes. To be fair we are use to very traditional Thai and that isn’t what EEM claims to be!

Let’s talk about Eem. I tried it for the first time on my trip to Portland and went back because it was so good. The atmosphere is great with open windows with a nice decor. The cocktails are unique cups that you would find at a tiki bar. The food is incredible. I got the Massaman curry w/ smoked lamb shoulder and was insane. I also got the brisket fried rice which tasted burnt and not as flavorful compared to the curry. A ton of people around me loved the white curry and seemed to be a popular item. With a shellfish and peanut allergy, my menu selections were limited, but still ate a good meal. It was very busy on both random days I went, so I would recommend making a reservation if you have a larger party or expect a wait.

One word TLDR: salty We wait about 1 hour to get a table on Friday night. We got 3 dishes: white curry with brisket burnt ends, BBQ fried rice and hot cauliflower. White curry with brisket burnt ends - the best thing I had. Curry itself got nice flavors and the burnt ends were cooked perfectly. With that said, these two flavors don’t go together and don’t complement each other. 4/5 BBQ fried rice - very disappointing. Nothing special and just salty. 2/5 Hot cauliflower - this one the most salty. I can feel my heart racing through the roof at the end of the meal. 2/5 We also got a fun pickle alcoholic drink. 3/5 i think the saltiness of the food almost ruined the drink for me.

Very friendly staff. The place has a parking lot in back which convenient as the main entrance is on busy Sandy Blvd. I had order # 3 and 25 featured in pictures. The salad roll was great and tasty and pretty large. It came with peanut sauce and a sweet and sour sauce. The sauce tasted great. For my main dish I had drunken noodles with chicken. The noodles were extra wide, tasty and an explosion of flavors ensued as I took the first bite. I had jasmine tea which was very soothing. The staff were engaging with customers and joking on occasions and very polite. I only gave 4 star on atmosphere as this is an ordinary restaurant. It is simple and ordinary.

We've never had a bad meal at Thai Seasons. Excellent choices for everyone in our family, meat eaters and vegetarians. I love their Pumpkin Curry, usually with chicken, occasionally with shrimp or even vegetarian. The salad rolls are always spot on. The Pad Thai is nice as are the Drunken Noodles. I love the Thai BBQ Chicken and the Tom Kah is always great. We really have never ordered anything we were disappointed with. Service is generally good even when the place is packed.

Found us a neighborhood gem. Not sure why the restaurant had only a few patrons on a Saturday night as the service was friendly, restaurant was clean, and food was excellent with generous portions. I’ve been looking for a solid Thai spot since moving from NY and I think I’ve found it. Check them out for yourself.

This was a random find while looking for a Thai place in the area. I was not disappointed. This place is really good and I would highly recommend it. The ginger dish was so full of fresh ginger. The Pad Kee Mao was just right and the dessert was awesome.

There are so many Thai restaurants in Portland, but this is hands down my favorite. Many dishes not found elsewhere. There are probably six or 10 Thai and Vietnamese restaurants within half a mile of my house, but I'll go out of my way to visit Thai seasons. Well worth it

Nice little restaurant with excellent food! Friendly and caring service. They also have interesting & tasty food specials. Fresh ingredients, very good price, can't go wrong. Recommended!

Great food and service! We had the potstickers and crab wontons for appetizers and garlic broccoli beef and shrimp pad thai for mains. Excellent all the way around! We were impressed how well the server handled everything going on. Swamped but still refilled waters and checked on us. Ty ty

Favorite go to. Simple, consistent, delicious and clean. Nachos are huge and fantastic. They make their own salsas and omg they’re amazing. Super affordable.

We live in the area and after walking by this spot many times, my husband and I decided to have dinner here tonight. While we were surprised with generous portions, sadly the food quality did not deliver. While the rice and beans were good, the chicken was flavorless, the guac was mid, but most disappointing was their Chile Relleno dish, it tasted almost toxic, like there was remnants of cleaner spray or something in the dish? Took one bite and spat it out. Due to their quick service model, you pay in advance and there is no quality checks, you even have to retrieve the food from a buzzer and bus yourself, so there wasn’t an easy opportunity to pass along feedback as there was a line. The food also took over 30mins to come out which felt like a long time for a quick service spot. We left feeling very disappointed and doubt we’ll be back.

Amazing Mexican restaurant! Food is incredibly tasty and non-pretentious, probably at the top of any Mexican restaurant that I have visited outside of Mexico. You enter, order at the front and wait for your food to be ready to pick it up at the same place you ordered. Has a salsa bar and all the sauces I tried were top notch in flavor, the green is mild and give a good acidic taste, the habanero one is super tasty and kicks it up a notch on the spicy deparment. We tried enchiladas, carne asada tacos, adobada tacos (al pastor), chicken taquitos (flautas). All were delicious and the tortillas are quite good! All the necessary points for a great Mexican restaurant are covered at La Bonita!

I ate there a few weeks ago it was the first time i had ever even heard of this place. I had the veggie fajitas with beans and rice and they did not disappoint. Really good food! super cute place I will definitely be going again.

I surprised myself, easily polishing off this enormous entree and a generous margarita (made with a smile by the charming young man who took our order). The style and vibe remind me of the excellent Mexican restaurants thriving down in San Diego. The food was just as good as it looked. Highly recommend.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all are Awesome Sauce. Great Staff and service. Minimal wait time. Thanks La Bonita for a wonderful Portland food during my trip.

Decided to stop in to La Bonita, Alberta for a quick birthday meal for our good friend Brad. The wait was minimal and the front of the house folks were amazing. Our Margaritas and the Paloma were on point and went perfectly with our meal. Everything tasted amazing and there wasn’t a crumb left on our plates. Go check them out 🤪

Oh do I hate places like this. I don't have many tortas. Which is what makes this place so challenging. They left little margin for anything better and left everyone else so far behind. Portion ideal. Flavor outstanding. Texture fantastic. Bread, almost, the perfect single use wrapper. (It was just hanging onto its substance with the last bite.) To say it's just a sandwich would be an insult. Also the sauce is not optional. It's quietly placed on the table with a deafening command. "Try your food first without it, then ensure it's in every following bite." It almost has no right be as good as it is what the ingredients listed.

Love this place! The tortas and the bowls are amazing. You have got to try the hot sauces - made in house and new flavors every day!!! Yummmm. And the vibes are good. Lots of nice fresh plants.

Good food at great price. We got the pollo pibil , carnitas, ahogada and refrito. All of their Fortas are amazing. I liked the ahogada tomato sauce. It’s spicy but tastes best with the sandwich. We also got chips and guacamole that was good. Every table had one so we had to try it out.sidral mundel was a nice apple soda. Flan was okay. Felt it was over complicated with the pineapple and the orange juice in the syrup. This was my first time trying toratas and definitely recommend trying it out here!

It's been a minute since I went here. We came here for a quick brunch as we were in the area. The place was pretty busy with both the indoor and outdoor seats being filled up. We just kept it simple and ordered a couple of items - desayuno torta and a bowl (added carnitas and avocado). The torta was great as it they had the crispy fried cheese inside it. The bowl was also delicious and well balanced. The addition of the carnitas and avocado made a difference. Overall, we enjoyed it and will try to come back sooner rather than later.

My friend and I each had bowls (mine with chicken and avocado, hers with carnitas) which were fresh, tasty and generously portioned. My margarita was also a good addition on a hot day. The service was pleasant and the restaurant was charming. Thanks to all the previous Google reviewers who lead me to this wonderful place!

I have been to this place twice. Both times I had the hamburguesa (spelling?). It is the best I have ever had. Let me repeat, the best I have ever had. From the bun, the jalapeños, the avocado, I added roasted Serranos and another patty. It is insane. The torta, the desayano (spelling?) also amazing. The chips, guac, bean dip and salsa were stellar. They have their own habanero hot sauce that is about the flavor not the heat. The best burger in Portland.

Staff here is amazing and so friendly. Adds to a wonderful vibe. The cocktails are fantastic not too sweet but balanced. Ive tried two on their menu that cam recommended by staff. Will definitely be back this summer!

First time there. Will not be my last. Order the chicken sandwich with heat. So yummy! Secret cheat code...order another before you leave so you can have another one later! Seriously! Anyway. Thumbs up and also if your friends are not into chicken it part of a shared space.so you can get pizza, tight tacos, banh mi, etc. Go there and enjoy some food! Visited again and the spicy chicken still tastes great! They got new padded booths! So nice.

Dan Dan fries were unique - never had anything like them before. I think if I were to order them again, I’d ask for the sauce on the side because by the end of the bowl I was itching for some plain fries. The chicken sandwich was okay. As much as I would’ve liked to have loved it, there was this weird flavor that I couldn’t really place… it was either the oil that they use or the spicy sauce itself. Maybe it was an off night and I might try again and edit this review!

Wow, crazy chicken sandwich. I had like post chicken sandwich clarity though. I got the dan dan fries and I mean I love the concept and the fries were really crispy and great, it’s just the peanut sauce is pretty salty and heavy. Perhaps a lighter version of the sauce would make the fries 10x better.

$10 for just one chicken sandwich send expensive but this one is actually with it. It comes with two fried slabs of chicken, and stacks high. The slaw is nothing to note except for its usefulness in catching the dressing that they put on which is a little bit spicy but carries the right flavoring to make the sandwich delicious.

Knock your socks off fried chicken sandwiches. Insanely huge with two pieces of chicken. Unless you have a huge mouth, you take one piece off and enjoy it for desert. ;-) Their "Nashville Hot" sauce is a nice cayenne-based sauce that has excellent flavor. I am originally from Nashville, so I can tell you, Basilisk is certainly better than quite a few Nashville Hot Chicken places. Definitely better coating and flavor than Hattie B's. Basilisk's chicken is a cut above by itself. I love Screen Door's fried chicken dinner, but, again, I think Basilisk has better coating and flavor. If they offered mashed potatoes and collard greens, I would move in and never leave. The macaroni salad is a bit bland, but good enough. You're here for the chicken, anyway. ;-) Overall, if you want an excellent fried chicken sandwich (Nashville Hot or not), Basilisk is the way to go in Portland.

Food couldn't have been better - see pics - it's as good as it looks. We loved our beers. Get the fried chicken salad! Cosy, open, perfect summery vibe. Nice space.

Fried chicken juicy and flavorful every time in all forms: sandwich, "salad", and the plate, which they do offer with no spice as a kid friendly option. My kiddo is into it. 👍🏼 I just love that all the other food spots that share the space have basically something for everyone. Plus beer, cocktails, and boba - whaaattt?!!?!

Small little place but the food is amazing. We ordered spicy shrimp fried rice, chicken fried rice, and chicken wanton soup. We also got a complimentary mango sticky rice for desert which was great. The service was top notch.

I can’t recommend this place enough. I love Thai food and have had it all over the country. The quality and taste of the food here were incredible, and the service was absolutely top-notch. We got the Fried Wonton, Chicken Satay, Roast Duck Curry, Siamese Twin, and Mango Sticky Rice and we ate every single bite, it was that flavorful! I wish we lived in Portland, so that we can come here all the time.

Great authentic Thai food! We tried four different dishes and every single one was delicious. Mao, our server, was super attentive and made the experience even better. The food was so good we ended up coming back the very next week for more!

Stopped by Sivalai after shopping in the Hawthorne area and I didn’t regret it. The gentleman who served me was kind, service was extremely fast, and prices were very reasonable. I ordered the tofu pad see ew and Thai iced tea, and both were amazing. The complementary mango sticky rice was a great touch as well. I definitely recommend and will be back!

The owners here were wonderfully kind and offered great advice for one less familiar with Thai cuisine. They served some of the best pot stickers I've ever had, and their crab fried rice had no shortage of crab. Their sticky mango rice was a great send-off, the whole experience keeping me full for hours to come.

One of my all time favorite restaurant experiences. The owners were so sweet and friendly, and the food was amazing. I forgot to take pictures but the chicken and shrimp with crispy basil and pad thai were delicious and the mango sticky rice was the perfect dessert.

Fantastic place with the best Thai food you’ll ever have! Stopped in here while visiting Portland thanks to their convenient location between Mt. Tabor Park and the airport. Not only was I impressed, but frankly blown away by the extremely kind and friendly staff, delicious food, and very reasonable price. This will be my first stop once I get off the plane any time I’m in Portland!

The atmosphere and setup is pretty nice. The fish & chips are good. If you like Caesar salad, it is pretty good. The poke bowl… visually appealing but why. For me, the coconut is too much and unnecessary in the rice and the seasoning is overpowering on the salmon. Poke bowls should be refreshing, with ability to taste the buttery flavor of the fish and add some salt from soy. Could barely taste the fish. If you’re into heavily seasoned sashimi, you will enjoy this. If not, try something else.

First time here and it was a pleasant experience. Our server was great and the atmosphere is really warm and welcoming. The fish and chips were really tasty, we ended up ordering a second plate 10/10. The salmon was tasty but it wasnt hot it was luke warm and that was disappointing. We will come back and support.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had fish and chips this good! The batter was perfectly light and crisp, keeping the fish tender and juicy. The chips were INCREDIBLE, golden, crispy, and absolutely addictive. The grilled salmon sandwich was also outstanding, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to come back for more!

Tried the fish & chips and the salmon sandwich—both were absolutely delicious! Fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality seafood.

This popular fish market and restaurant is quaint and the food is delicious. While you're waiting try out the hot sauces at the table. My favorite was the green one. If you love it, too, you can buy any of the line in the market. We had the sablefish and the fish and chips. If you've never had sablefish, you've got to try this. It tastes delicious and melts in your mouth. This dish would be especially good if you want more of a light summer food fare. It comes with spring veggies which round out the dish. Oh, and the fish and chips??? The were not oily, the portions were great and they taste great! The 'chips' resemble jojo's, but don't let them fool you. These chips are the perfect blend of soft inside and really crunchy on the outside. They taste buttery which makes them super yummy. The only off thing, and this is my personal opinion, their ranch has dill in it. I'm kinda a ranch snob and don't equate the two. Now you know. Do get in to this place early to get a table. If there's a wait, though, it's TOTALLY worth it!! Excuse the photos. It was so good I almost forgot to take pics.

Really good quality fish and seafood. Albacore tuna is in season! It's delicious! The Koronda raw oysters were also the best.

Amaze. Gluten free options. Good drinks. And the fish is so fresh and clean clean 🎶 and the oysters perfectly schucked. Went twice 😋

I really like the Portland bowl! The Summer Breeze juice was so refreshing and perfect for today. It’s my favorite thing I’ve tried so far. The prices are a little high to spend on one meal (bowl $12, juice $8), but the portions are really good sized and the food is delicious. I prefer to sit outside or on their tiny covered patio (which has heat lamps for when it’s not summer!).

I loved it! I didn't try any of the juices but the bowls were incredible. The staff is super friendly and the place has a nice and lay back atmosphere

Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere. You can taste how fresh all the ingredients are, especially in the juice. Everything tastes very home-made as well. I would definitely come back for more!

One of my favorite dishes to get at restaurants, but I chose to add an extra side of peanut sauce and Sriracha cause it was a bit dry. Smoothies are good and staff is friendly. Vegan and gluten free options.

Cute little spot. Never understood the bowl craze, ive always felt they weren't worth paying for, something you could easily make at home. Decided to give Canteen a shot, I got the bangkok bowl. It was okay, wasn't great. It tasted like a lazy variation of something I usually would eat for dinner at home.

Needs work. They have too many smoothies made of watery fruits and veggies, not enough with protein and fat. As well, they over-do some of the ingredients: the ginger smoothie is too gingery and the citrus one is overwhelmingly citric to the point where it's unpleasantly acidic. I've had consistently better experiences at Kure.

Great service, awesome food and some of the juices I have ever had. I tried the walnut taco salad, it was really good. I would highly recommend it.

It's a pretty good place to get some Mediterranean food with a twist. The place has both indoor and covered patio seating, as well as a small bar area. We sat in the heated back patio. I really did enjoy the hummus with burnt beef ends and the lamb & beef Kebab. The fried chicken was nice and crispy, and the cornbread was rich in flavor. The drinks were also made pretty well. Overall, a great experience.

This place is doing Mediterranean food a great service. Wow, we had heard great things from friends about this spot and it certainly lived up tot he hype. We came in for a celebratory dinner last week and had a reservation for the back patio. I’d definitely encourage reservations as the place fills up quickly. The inside of the restaurant had a charming rustic decor and smelled amazing with aromatic spices wafting from the kitchen. We were seated on the back patio which is a quaint space with a wood overhang and probably about 8 tables. It was a perfect evening and warm enough to enjoy eating outside. I’ll note they do have heaters for cooler nights. Food wise we went with the fried chicken, corn bread, corn ribs, peaches, burnt end hummus and the kebab. Everything was fantastic. Standouts were definitely the hummus, which maybe was the best I’ve ever had, as well as the fried chicken. Everything had rich flavor and was easy to share which was perfect. The drinks we had were also tasty and added to the meal. The service overall was solid. Waiter was attentive and helped determine the right number of dishes. I would say you can get away with probably a few more than recommended. We were initially told 4 plates would be good but got 6 and wound up being full but still happy we got an extra 2. Will definitely be going back here and can’t wait to try more for the menu!

Very rarely but I was so impressed by how delicious the food here was! It was absolutely the best pita I’d ever had - effusing aroma and sweetness of the grains - and paired with one of the best hummus. The fried chicken was no less impressive - so juicy and flavorful. And how wonderful it was to end with a slice of basque cheesecake made just right. Will come back!

I live in the neighborhood and didn’t come here for a long time because Mediterranean food isn’t my thing, but I’m so glad I finally gave it a try. We ordered 7 dishes for 3 people, which was 1-2 dishes too many but everything was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. My favorites were the roasted cauliflower, the cornbread and the green beans. The service and the vibes were great as well. Can’t wait to go back!

Radicchio salad was a crowd hit and a must try. The shakshuka is perfect -- not too sweet or acidic, well balanced and spiced. The falafel is full of flavor. In short, if you're craving good Mediterranean food, this is a spot to try. Great ambiance and service.

Service and staff was great but food very mediocre. Favorite was the hummus but i wish there was more than a dollop to eat. Chicken was rubbery. I think i was mostly underwhelmed with the fusion part of it, it felt like a confused middle eastern approach. Wouldnt return.

- brunch - Recommended 1-2 dishes per person ❤️Rise and shine hummus ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I adored this - the server recommended a side of cucumber with it and it was so necessary - super fresh and flavorful Shakshula royale with feta and merguez ⭐⭐⭐ - really good but not for me - wish it was a little more saucy, it was a bit hard for me - as a consequence I think I wouldn't add merguez next time - little expensive to add feta Khachapuri ⭐⭐⭐✨ - little salty for me - needed something but I'm not sure what Schmaltz cornbread ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - way too sweet for me but honestly is good if you're into that sort of thing - the schamtz was so savory and delicious

We usually love getting food from spitz but recently, our fried pitas have only included the end pieces. They weren’t like that a few months ago! Has anyone else experience this ?? What’s going on

Ordered online and picked up. Website was easy to navigate, and they offer some discounts when you create an account. Food was yummy, however ordered a combo with a Greek but there was no dressing on or on the side of the salad which was disappointing. When I walked in the terrace had a nice vibe and cocktails looked yummy.

I Loved the food and the fact that it was quite easy to select something that was in line with my dietary restrictions. I love that there are plenty of vegetarian/ vegan options as well. This was the first time I ate from Spitz but Oh my goodness, it was ALL super delicious. Because of this awesome experience, I’d hate to not rate the atmosphere as a 5 because even though I ordered delivery, I can tell this place is just great and I wouldn’t want to leave this section unrated or at a low rating for no reason. You guys are awesome and I can’t wait to actually dine-in. Thank you!!

I can’t get over how delicious Spitz is! It is definitely a neighborhood staple for me. Everything from the wraps to the bowls are delicious. Food comes out quick and the indoor/outdoor seating is enjoyable whatever the weather. Highly recommend!

My buddy kicked off his bday bar crawl at this location. We sat outside on some stump stools which are charming, but mine was slanted and quickly became uncomfortable. I heard the bowls were tasty so I went in and ordered a bowl and a cocktail. I pulled out a $50 and was informed that they are able to accept cash, but lack the infrastructure to make change. I cancelled my order and went to sit with my friends. A very generous member of our party bought my order for me and the food was good! I won't be returning to this establishment though, as I really didn't find it welcoming or pleasant under the circumstances.

the food was good but not amazing. the employees are really nice and fast though

Normally, I'm not one for chains, but after looking at their menu,I knew I had to try it. And it absolutely slaps! There was so much that I wanted to try, and my only regret is that I don't live closer to try more. The food is so flavorful I would highly recommend it.

Rabbit's Cafe, tucked on the ground floor of the US Bank Tower (aka Big Pink) in downtown Portland, is still killing it (veggies, not animals) in 2025! Their vegan bowls are fresh, flavorful, and totally satisfying. The crew’s working hard to keep the tasty morsels flowing despite the challenges nearby. Pop in, grab a bowl, and support this local gem! 🌱 #RabbitsCafe

I sincerely recommend you drop whatever you’re doing right now and go get one of these bowls ASAP!! I couldn’t believe I almost didn’t find this place… it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had!! 🙌 I ordered a second breakfast scramble bowl to bring on my hour long trip to give to my parents because I want them to get to enjoy it!

Wow! Just WOW! Owner operated. Food is made with love. Such amazing people. We got the incredi-bowl. As soon as we ordered a regular customer came up to us and said order anything you won’t be disappointed. He was 100% right. The soy curls were fire. The flavors were on point. Every ingredient was fresh and picked with love. Note: yes it is inside of the office building! Go inside.

Delicious waffles and bowls! It is a little hard to find, located inside a mall-like building, but it is worth the search! Fantastic service and very fresh and delicious vegan food!

I'm not vegan but Rabbits Cafe was delicious. It's tucked inside a cavernous office building, but don't let the setting fool you. The food is made with care and is full of flavor. I got the chickpea bowl and could happily eat it every day.

Not only was their food out of this world delicious but flavors melting on your tongue in ways I didn’t know could happen. They were also so kind and helpful about other great spots to eat around town. Their tofu is local and so good. We ate almost all the dishes on the menu and 3 smoothies. All worth eating again! Whole place is gluten free and vegan except for the tortilla on the burrito. Hard to find: don’t give up! So go inside the building where it says Portland city grill and the guy at the counter inside will send you down the hallway. The entrance to the building is to the right of parking garage entrance.

This place is truly a hidden treasure!! It’s legit hidden and the food is amazing. Plus the people are great too. The owner is friendly and his food was great. I wish he did cooking classes so I could eat this every day. PS- This place is hidden inside the US Bancorp tower. We went through doors saying City Grill and asked around. Totally worth the hunt.

a solid Mexican spot with a huge menu with all your favorites. Friendly service with a small dining room and tiny patio out front for seating. Food was very good, house made salsa amazing…have to admit, I wish they had better chips for it.

The atmosphere at the Taqueria Portland next to Key Bank on Morrison Street is akin to that of a vibrant bar, ideal for socializing. The customer service is exemplary, and the food ranks among the finest Mexican cuisine I have ever enjoyed. Each visit is a unique and memorable experience. I frequently come here during my lunch breaks, and one of my recent meals stood out as exceptional. The culinary skills of the cooks are truly impressive. This establishment deserves the highest praise—an unequivocal five stars and a perfect ten out of ten.

I was so excited to take the lime chips that I had bought and take this case of beans home and eat them and to my disappointment, they had been exploded in the bag because they were packaged so poorly, and it makes me wonder if the employees carry at all UPDATE: One thing I will always respect is a business that tries to resolve the situation and they reached out to me asked me if they could remake the entire order gave it to me for free and apologized profusely for how the beans were Packaged. They even told me that they’ve changed their practices around how they package their food because of the review they got so how could I not leave such stellar service of five star rating again? Absolutely go visit this place. The food is pretty good and they really care about their customers

Excellent service and the food is absolutely delicious. Joseph went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience , he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back.

The gentleman who took our order was cordial and provided great service! We took our food to go, it was pretty good, but very messy and the California burrito was too big to eat honestly.

Came here for the first time today, and thought the food and service was amazing. The food was delicious and decent portio . I've been looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant near me for a while now, and i'm glad I found this hidden gem, I know I'll be frequenting this place more now. The prices here are reasonable too.

Great flautas. I got asada, carnitas, and chile verde and they were so good. Solid margaritas too. The Cadillac Margarita was the best of the ones I tried. Good atmosphere, really friendly people, nothing misses here.

Really good vietnamese restaurant You can feel that the tomato slices and salad are fresh The grilled pork is so tender and flavorful They serve the food pretty fast too Friendly staff and comfortable seating are all plus

The food is delicious and very fresh. Huge portions and it keeps well, I ate my leftovers two days later and it was almost as good as the original day it was cooked. Lots of veggie options. The odd part was the service. We arrived at 8:20pm (they close at 9) and were told it was only to go then when we decided to leave and eat in somewhere else. He then told us we could stay to eat so we ordered, got water and sat down but he wrapped up the food all to go so we were able to eat out together as we had planned. Very awkward miscommunication but the delicious food made up for it.

This food is AMAZING!! I love the vegan BBQ tork and the vegan Thai iced tea. These are things that are hard to get vegan otherwise, and XinhXinh does an incredible job. Ive been here several times, and this last time I took my family, and my mom (who is generally picky eating out) was a HUGE fan. I hope to be back many many more times:)

Best $12 item I’ve put in my mouth in a long time. Serious dose of veggies with a light and flavorful sauce served promptly with beautiful execution. No-nonsense counter service, clean tables, what else do you need in a lunch spot?

A casual, counter-order restaurant that serves up some delicious and creative banh mis. I tried the BBQ Tork Banh Mi (made from tofu and mushrooms) and the Pulled Pork Banh Mi. I enjoyed the texture of the Tork a lot, and I absolutely loved the strong, marinated flavors of the Pulled Pork. The bread was soft and pillowy, and smelled nice and fresh. The ratio of mayo and sauces used was perfect, and it was stuffed to the brim with crunchy pickled carrots, daikon, and cilantro. A good banh mi is all about the textures, and the mix of different textures in these was very pleasant. For appetizers, I tried the Shrimp Salad rolls, which tasted good and standard (nothing too special there), as well as the Crispy Salad with Pork. I liked the sauce flavors and mix of crunchy vs tender textures in the salad; the pork was very flavorful. I also tried some of the Beef Pho— the broth was excellent: very flavorful and aromatic though a little too salty. Overall, prices are solid and reasonable too, and the service was very quick. It was pretty empty for a Tuesday dinner, and it was easy to find a table for dine-in. — Price (relative to peers): 4.6/5 Food: 4.6/5 Ambience: 4.4/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.6/5

SURPRISE!!! We visit from LA and my bf is southeast Asian. He approves. Very generous portions as well. I kept picking out pork from my bowl to my bf’s and it just would not run out. Give five star to Portland as well if this is the how good ethnic foods the city has to offer.

Vietnamese people are known for their incredible hospitality and this place lives up to that reputation 100%. The person behind the counter was so friendly, polite, and courteous! Plenty of options for vegetarians and the Vietnamese hot coffee was excellent. I definitely recommend the BBQ Tork (vegan pork) banh mi 😊

So it was great that this was an old church. I believe our waitress could have been more hospitable. Wasn't impressed by the food. Wings were fatty, the asparagus was good.

Such a cool place! The atmosphere here is top notch, I think it's the high ceilings lol. The drinks and food here is great too! The portions are huge, and chicken sandwich was pretty tasty. Definitely recommend!

What a fantastic setting! This former church turned restaurant, bar, and event space is an entire vibe. Bring your friends and some playing cards and enjoy the atmosphere. The food left a little to be desired (I.e., the wings had great flavor but breaded in such a way that really could have benefited from being fried instead of underbaked, the nachos were also flavorful but would have been better plated so that the toppings could be distributed versus in a bowl).

We had a really fun time here. The venue is beautiful and the lemonade cocktail I had was very fresh. We also really liked the sweet potato fries. We will definitely be back!

I had the absolute pleasure of trying these loaded fries and tacos, and they were nothing short of phenomenal! The loaded fries were a flavor explosion—perfectly crispy fries topped with tender pulled meat, fresh herbs, tangy pickled onions, and a creamy drizzle that tied it all together beautifully. The textures were spot-on, with the crunch of the fries complemented by the richness of the toppings. The tacos were just as incredible—vibrant, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The perfectly spiced, slow-cooked filling paired wonderfully with the zesty pickled onions and crunchy pepitas. Each bite was a delightful balance of savory and tangy, with the fresh herbs adding a fragrant touch. Both dishes showcased thoughtful attention to detail and an abundance of bold, complementary flavors. Whether you’re a fries fan or a taco enthusiast, these dishes will leave you thoroughly satisfied. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates gourmet street food done right!

Loved the ambience, church conversion is spectacular. Staff were great, beer very good - especially the cask English mild that's actually true to style. Prices are pretty typical for Portland. Food was good. Look forward to returning.

AUTUMN!!! She’s amazing! Best server in town. She knew everything we wanted to know about the menu. She was so helpful and attentive. I can’t say more about how great she was. Her attitude was so pleasant and I love her. I hope she never leaves! What a great experience.

My sister and I dropped in for some snacks before our train commute home and were greeted with excellent hospitality. An employee immediately made sure we were finding what we were looking for, and even offered us snack samples. We left with some local-to-Oregon snacking nuts and a positive experience. Also one of the most esthetically pleasing produce sections I've ever seen. Will definitely visit again when in town!

Came across the downtown World Foods on a slow late-morning Sunday. Lovely elevated grocery with a hard-to-pass-by coffee and wine bar—so, that’s where I landed. Love the bar atmosphere: welcoming, woodsy, quiet, touch of retro. Ordered a caffe latte and berry scone. Good. Service: Indifferent Will go back to try a wine experience (then grocery shopping—what's not to love?).

Great hot/prepared foods. (You can eat at their picnic tables or front with coffee, beer, wine...Great selection. Great espresso. I get fresh squeezed OJ here weekly. So so good. Friendly and helpful staff. 6 stars.

The cafe here has cozy vibes! I appreciated the friendly service and selection of drinks and pastries. My iced coffee hit the spot!

I came here for the first time, got caught in the rain and I guess my emergency poncho wasn't up to the standards here because the security guard stalked me the entire time I checked out the store. I spent about a week's budget here and didn't even get a "thank you" just a super cold send off. A couple items from the deli weren't good including the ready-to-cook macaroni which had a distinct off sour smell when I opened it at home even though the sell-by date was the next day. The stuff available is cool but it is expensive and they place is snooty. I will not be coming back.

One of my favorite hobbies is exploring gourmet food stores and this is hands down my favorite right now. Many of the products sold here are legitimately the world’s best, from gold-medal, award-winning chocolates (like Friis Holm and Fuwan), to a well-curated selection of intl. olive oils, to fancy tinned fish. I can’t say enough about this place but it’s my wonderland. Can’t wait to come back here and this time I’m moving in 😂.

I love their bakery, unique selections of goods, but it’s really all about the fresh squeezed OJ!

We finally tried these sandwiches— chicken miso katsu and Tokyo curry pan special, both were amazing! I personally liked the katsu sando better. We arrived very shortly after opening on Saturday and the line was roughly 15 people long, but I imagine that’s how it always is, and it moved exceptionally fast. The woman at the register was very sweet and friendly. Our order was ready within 12 minutes despite the lunch rush. My one warning is that if you get a sando with a hardboiled egg, make the egg your first bite! I made the mistake of taking my first bite from the side and my egg went flying into my lap, ricocheting off my pants and landing on the ground under our table where several pigeons fought over it. We happened to finish our food just when other sando enjoyers were getting visibly irritated by the frenzy, so we bounced, but 2-3 of those pigeons had a blessed day.

I’ve been a regular at Tokyo Sando for years now. I try to swing by at least once a week. The food is consistently good. The staff is super friendly. Best Sandos in all of Portland. Every me in a while they’ll also write me notes in Kanji. One of my top three places to dine in Portland.

I’ve been following them on IG forever! I was finally able to stop by during my most recent trip to Portland and it did not disappoint! Food was tasty and the staff were so kind! I would definitely go out of my way to eat here again next time I’m in Portland.

Soooo good. The Miso Katsu was so delicious. Staff were so sweet and accommodating. While waiting I walked around and grabbed a few other items at other vendors but Tokyo Sando stood out the most by far. Craving this sandwich badly while writing this review. Can’t wait to have it again!

Amazing sandos! So good! We didn't know it was so popular until we got there and thankfully beat the line 😄 But it was would be worth the wait. Next time we are in Portland we will stop by again.

This place is every bit as good as people say it is. Owners keep the line moving quick and are kind and welcoming. Katsu is crispy and hot, house miso sauce is sweet, tangy, and unbelievably good. Black garlic adds an extra pop of flavor and seals the deal. Highly recommend.

YUM! Been meaning to try this place, and so glad I did. The miso chicken katsu with black garlic is so so good. The staff (and owners I believe) are very friendly and nice. Just go, you won’t be disappointed, and there’s plenty of open air seating in the food cart pod to enjoy your sandwich.

Had a quick road trip stop here for a couple of burritos. You can tell the ingredients were fresh to be sure, but I think unfortunately we were a bit underwhelmed in terms of flavor. It wasn’t busy, but it still took awhile for them to make the burritos as well.

Hardly anyone here. Long wait for food. A 95 degree day and it was hot inside. Disappointed. Food was expensive.

Head chef John White is a class act, great chef, great employee, creator of hot sauces. A good man as is his family.

I love Laughing Planet, and this location is in a great area. However, the food was disappointing. There was only one slice of avocado, and almost everything was made with black beans.

Gone downhill. My son loves this place so we tend to get it when it’s just the two of us. Tonight, he went to pick it up and eventually had to leave after it was delayed by 25 minutes as he had an appointment. I went instead and there was a long line, 2 people working there but only 5 people seated? So, 30 minutes delayed, I got my miniature, $15 scoop of cold beans and rice and a boatload of sour cream on top. Gross.

The food was good and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere is comfortable and there is plenty of space between tables. The staff was courteous and friendly. The flavor was quite good on the Thai bowl. It was not too spicy. I think the portions could be a little larger on the bowl dishes but that’s a minor quibble. If you want to eat at a restaurant with healthy choices, fast service and reasonable prices, then make sure to pay the Laughing Planet on SE Woodstock a visit.

I recently visited the Belmont Laughing Planet, and thought it was reasonably tasty. That experience opened me up to trying the local Woodstock location. The food was fine. My husband thought his pozole portion was small.

Stumbled upon this place and kept coming back for the killer flavors. Tried more of a tasting menu this last trip so I could have a range of options. The fermented tea salad is still hands down the best salad I’ve ever had. The curry got my 4 stars. I was wildly disappointed in the consistency, texture and lack of flavor. The place is quaint, cozy and fills up quickly. Don’t eat outside if it’s cold, the heaters only work on the top of your head. Service is attentive, sweet.

After hearing that Top Burmese was ranked in the top 50 independent restaurants in a magazine, I was super stoked to check it out. It was also a quick walk from our Airbnb so even better! I will start off with saying that our service was impeccable. I forgot the name of our server but she was on top of everything, had great suggestions, and overall made sure we had a great time there. Kudos to her! The food left a lot to be desired. The Nangyi noodles were very soft as opposed to a nice chewy texture that we’ve had at other Burmese restaurants. The flavor overall was a bit bland as well. The lamb dish (I forgot exactly what it is called and it is not listed on the menu online) was very tasty with a good portion of lamb. It reminded me of a non-spicy lamb vindaloo. No complaints there. The green tea leaf salad was very tasty especially considering it has no protein in it. I think it would fit better as a shared dish as opposed to an entree. The prices were definitely a bit on the steeper side but I didn’t feel like it was overpriced. The indoor seating is a bit quaint but there is also outdoor seating if the weather is nice!

My super smoking hot girlfriend and I stopped by for a date night and I am glad we did. The staff took good care of us and was able to get us seated next door. Outdoor seating is open as well. We had the paratha which was fluffy and dipped well in the veggie and bean dips provided. Finally we had the pick three curry option. And I couldn’t say which one liked most. They were all so good in different ways. We did the chicken, beef, and coconut tofu curries. Would highly recommend giving them a try.

Clearly labeled and tasty vegan/vegetarian dishes. For starters, we ordered the Gold Samosas stuffed with potatoes, carrots, and peas. My friend recommended the Khao Soup Coconut Noodle Soup. Very tasty. The coconut curry broth is served on the side. Highly recommended. This is a small restaurant so be prepared, it can get noisy. Watch your head as you leave, the door is abnormally short.

I think this food is done well... The ramen thing was really good! We didn't know this was a mostly vegetarian type place. I do believe they have some chicken or lamb in a cpl of their items. We almost walked out because I was unaware of what I got us into. Once we saw the menu we almost made a run for it, but the hostess was too quick! So I made a decision to try the ramen thing and I'm glad I did! For a Burmese menu, I believe this place does it with the best of what it offers with a touch of class.

I’m writing this review as a Burmese person. First of all, the food here is not authentic, which I could accept if there was at least some effort to maintain the original flavours or blend them thoughtfully with local tastes. We ordered Shan Noodles, and while they used pho noodles, which are somewhat similar, that part was acceptable. However, the rest of the dish—the vegetables, sauce, spices, and overall flavour profile—was far off. It simply did not taste like Shan noodles. As for the Nan Gyi Thoke, the noodles were soggy and completely wrong—not even close to the real thing. I understand we’re not in Burma, but dried Nan Gyi noodles are available in the U.S. There’s no need to use udon noodles, and if they must, they should at least use a higher quality version. Also, one of the most essential ingredients in Nan Gyi Thoke is roasted chickpea powder, which adds a nutty, creamy texture—and it was completely missing. The taste was okay, but not accurate. The fried Burmese tofu was actually good, but the sauce served with it might not suit local taste buds, so they should consider offering alternative dipping options. The tofu itself tasted fine, but the presentation was poor. The pieces were cut so roughly, they looked like leftovers. Even street food vendors in Burma cut their tofu more neatly. The service was okay—nothing special. And considering the food is not cheap, the quality, authenticity, and taste should definitely be better.

Excellent service and delicious food :) Second time coming here and would come again when visiting. Soup is very hearty and the salad is so refreshing and spicy.

The two of us ordered a cocktail each. I had the Starling and my companion had the Night Dreamer. We both really enjoyed our well-crafted beverages. We ordered the spiced fries and the shrimp toast. Those fries and dipping sauces were outstanding. We can’t stop talking about the shrimp toast. We thought we were starting there and eating more elsewhere, but we agreed that we should have stuck around and ordered more.

I needed a spot to pregame before a show at Alberta Rose Theater and this was my choice based on both proximity and word of mouth. I’ve been to a few “cozy” bars in town, but this place was easily the coziest. Smaller than expected with a sophisticated, almost gothic aesthetic. The one bottled beer they serve is pretty damn good. The obvious highlight for me were the nachos. Similar to the dragon nachos at the Crystal Ballroom Mcmenamins, but more sophisticated flavors and superior presentation. I arrived hungry and couldn’t quite finish them! Added bonus: they’re only a 5 minute walk from Alberta Rose Theater and they let me use the bathroom about an hour later when I was waiting in line. I’ll definitely be back!

Whilst searching for late night food we were desperately driving to a last ditch option when we passed the Expatriate and decided to try it and what an experience. The cocktails were divine, the chicken sandwich was life changing. The server was spinning ethereal tunes and never skipped a beat. Pure bliss!

Drinks are excellent, & this atmosphere is electric! We loved listening to vinyl in this candlelit, dark yet inviting bar in Portland 🍸

Had the fries and they were fantastic! Had a couple of cocktails, as did friends, and they were good as well. Service was fast and friendly. The space is small, which I am finding is actually pretty common around Portland. But it was cozy, not cramped. It was difficult to read the menu without having to hold up one of the candles to it.

Absolutely fantastic place. Great atmosphere. And the food is top notch. Come here and get the butter sandwich. It sounds a little bizarre but such a wonderful flavor. The burgers were divine. Just a crazy amount of flavor in everything we had. Bold food for bold people. Drinks were nothing short of stunning. This is one of the top spots in Portland for a reason and it doesn't disappoint. Can't wait to come back!

Really great craft cocktail bar....depending on who's mixing. If Mike is behind the bar you'll enjoy some of the best cocktails in Portland. They spin cool vinyl records which is a perfect fit for the funky vibe of this joint. Go for the drinks. The nachos are a fusion approach that are unique and a must. The spicy chicken sandwich is very flavorful and one of the best you'll have anywhere. Check out my profile for more great eateries and cocktail bars.

Overall we had fun, but not the quality of the Woodsman from the past. Service was nice, and the ambiance is great but the food was underwhelming and overpriced. The bad stuff. I'm not an expert on food costs but will explain why on the food. The seafood tower was really good, but $150, I don't know, seems a bit steep for what you actually get. Again could be priced right, but not sure. But the food on the tower was amazing. The steak was the most disappointing item we ordered and the most expensive at $60. I would advise anyone from ordering it. The cut and cook is equivalent to something you would get at Applebee's, harsh but honest. That's literally what it reminded me of. Dry and thin, just felt like a cheap cut of meat. Also, the onion rings with it were super dried out, didn't even eat, and the spinach was bland at most. The dips are amazing, but the chips to dip with, are disappointing. You'd expect a place like the Woodsman, with its respected ownership group, to make something themselves. You just get some Trisquits and Ritz crackers which I felt was a bit weak and uninventive. The good stuff - just get the burger. My friend said it was really good and it looked really good. Overall, I think they can improve and hope so because it is a cool spot.

Last time I had been was precovid. Disappointed this time around. Perhaps lots of changes in the kitchen. Service was at best mediocre by Diana. Appetizers were better than the entrees. The hostess and other servers seemed fantastic and attentive.

Slow and casual for happy hour on a Wednesday around 4:30. A good time to try some of their drafts, at $3 for an 8oz pour. I enjoyed sampling the hibiscus sour and a half dozen oysters on the half shell ($16 for HH). Due to an error or miscommunication, I was served a bonus house-style egg salad sandwich as well. 20% automatic gratuity is included in the bill, which I don't think encourages outstanding customer service.

Everything is always insanely delicious. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. I don't know what else there is to say! Check out these brunch pics...

The deviled egg with smoked trout, pickled serrano and Aleppo pepper was a great starter. The pickled peppers were the perfect bright foil to the rich egg filling. The chicharrones with barbecue spice and grilled lime were a great snack to accompany a pre-meal beverage - crunchy, spicy, and still crackling. Both starters reflected a unique house approach to remix classic fare. The surf & turf gumbo with andouille sausage, duck confit, oysters, shrimp, and okra was a great recommendation from the bar manager, Ashley. The chef's Mississippi heritage was well-reflected in this Gulf Coast staple.

Been there twice for brunch, and both times the food was excellent. However, the only fresh vegetable they had available was iceberg lettuce, so when one of our party had medically induced limited palate, all they could provide was lettuce and vinaigrette So don't go if youre thinking "maybe I'll just have a salad."

The woodsman is the best! Oysters here are out of control, so good. Great cocktails too. We always order naked and famous or aperol spritz. They make great cocktails. The smash burger on happy hour is out of control delicious. It’s a great place to eat and hang out.
