Sweedeedee
Handmade bread and jam, farm-fresh salads, scones, and pastas, charming pottery dishes, worth-perusal mini-mart shelves, and, of course, fantastic spinning music—this charming café has it all.
These establishments recognize the significance of breakfast by honoring it till 3 p.m. Look out for the house olive oil roll with pickle mayo and pungent Cantal cheese for morning sandwiches. Scrambled eggs with crispy potatoes, pickled red onions, and black beans are another option; they’re simple yet filling. In the dessert case, you’ll find a wide variety of delectable treats that are sure to brighten your day.
Expatriate
Ingredients for the Ore Dungeness Crab Rangoon include crab meat and cream cheese filled wontons, curry corn cream, crispy maitakes, and Thai chili slaw. I thought this was a top-notch meal! The dish’s harmony was achieved by blending the brininess of the crab and cream cheese with the heat of the curry corn cream.
This entire place resonates with me on a deep level. The style is a mashup of rustic and glamorous, and there are not one but two turntables; the food is also fantastic. Included in the mix are some of the city’s most outrageous nachos and cheeseburgers, as well as James Beard’s world-famous onion and butter sandwich, a prime illustration of creative expression.
Lovely’s Fifty-Fifty
Not only is Lovely’s one of the best pizza joints in Portland, but it’s also one of the most creative. Flowers that have been picked by hand are among the toppings offered at this eatery. Its pizza and irresistible ice cream are made with ingredients obtained right here in Portland, which is something that many eateries in the city take great pride in.
Tusk
At Tusk, you may enjoy vibrant, aesthetically pleasing food from the Middle East and Mediterranean. The eatery manages to be entertaining and visually appealing all at the same time. An option to “try everything on the menu” is available in case you’re having trouble deciding between all the tempting dishes. In addition to the imaginative drink selection, you must not miss the vegetables.
Hat Yai
Akkapong Earl Ninsom continued his success in Portland with the opening of a laid-back southern Thai restaurant on Northeast Killingsworth, where he continues to wow patrons with his mouthwatering Thai cuisine. Famous combo No. 1 features crunchy roti, Malayu-style curry, and salty, shallot-fried chicken from Hat Yai.
Spicy and flavorful, the ground pork at this eatery is known as kua gling. The tamarind and ginger give the dtom som shrimp soup a nice sourness, and the shellfish and meaty oyster mushrooms provide texture and flavor.

While it’s true that Eugene is the official capital of Oregon, the title of “food capital” belongs to Portland. Diners, restaurants, and pubs abound throughout the city, enticing every foodie. Urbanites are cooperative and open to trying new ideas with their fellow producers, farmers, and even competitors.
