Despite Portland’s reputation as a top destination for vegans, a sizeable portion of the Rose City’s population continues to consume meat. This includes both health-conscious diners who prefer grass-fed cows and more traditionalists who order massive portions of cheap prime rib while imbibing whiskey.
And the city caters to both: there are trendy steakhouses with trendy cuts and flavors, classic steakhouses with white tablecloths that bring back Rat Pack memories, and old-school family-owned eateries that make you nostalgic for your grandparents’ cooking.
Only Portland-based steakhouses serving premium steak cuts—often aged for extra flavor—are included on this map of the city’s steakhouses.
