2025 Portland Restaurant Recommendations
16 items
By
Rebecca Nguyen
These are restaurants in Portland, Oregon and the metro area that are tickling my tastebuds right now.
Map
Best seafood spot in town for me right now.
Jacqueline
Their weekend menu with the Vietnamese inspired dishes are fire.
Memoire Cà Phê
My favorite "IDK what to eat" meal. Order the extra roti and eat with your hands.
Hat Yai Belmont
Get the dark meat, guns (potatoes), and that aji sauce that I can bathe myself in.
Chicken and Guns
Fire Hawaiian food. If you see the oxtail saimin special, immediately order.
Kau Kau PDX
BBQ & Tacos made a baby, 'nuff said.
Matt's BBQ Tacos @ Hinterland Bar & Food Carts
My order: Lamb kabob plate with extra toum. Garlic lovers: If you don't know what toum is, get to know it. They make the best toum.
Nicholas Restaurant Lebanese and Mediterranean Cuisine
Small batch daily rotating soups. Vietnamese comfort food by day. Small bites and drinks by night.
Annam VL
Order a bunch of half pastas to share and get the panna cotta.
Luce
Norwegian/French Luncheonette. Must get the sole meunière.
MÅURICE
Best steakhouse experience period.
RingSide Steakhouse
With Chef Dani Morales at the helm. Her birria and hamachi tlayuda is insane.
República
Amazing sushi bowls and rolls tucked away in NW Portland.
Fish & Rice
Brunch and dinner service here is the best. I still think abou the kaya toast with the soy marinated yolk.
Xiao Ye
French bistro vibes in Portland. C'est très mignon.
L’Echelle
These Korean-inspired fried wings are the best thing ever.
