Places to Eat in Portland
Screen Door
If you want some traditional southern cooking, get yourself over to Screen Door. This southern food is made with natural, local, and organic ingredients, and it’s as tasty as it sounds. We recommend the fried chicken and waffles, the Cajun scramble, or the shrimp and grits. Don’t forget to leave room for some Creole pecan or lemon coconut pie.
Afuri

Drawn to Portland by the soft waters of Mt. Hood, Afuri is eager to share its style of Japanese ramen with the PNW. From sushi to ramen, to craft cocktails, this hotspot is one you won’t want to miss out on. Taking suggestions? Vegan or not you’ll have to experience the Hazlenut Tantanmen- light with just the right amount of spice, it’s the perfect combination of flavors to leave your cravings satisfied.

Dive into new waters at Eeem! From island-inspired cocktails to enticing curries, Eem is a destination for food that makes you feel like you’re about to experience a whole new world of flavors. This modern take on Thai cuisine will have you kicking that tofu Pad Thai to the curb without ever looking back. Does it get better than Thai barbeque?
Luc Lac
835 SW 2ND AVE.
1.3 mi from Hoyt
Luc Lac legit Vietnamese food. This Vietnamese kitchen has received all kinds of local accolades. Start off with the vegetarian crispy rolls—these are a step up from your average spring roll. And if you’re like most people, you’ll want some pho (though we hear the tofu banh mi is pretty delicious, too).
G Love
1615 NW 21ST AVE.
1.1 mi from Everett
Veggie lovers, this is for you! G-Love is taking its own niche approach to modern American dining. At Portland’s first-ever ‘Reverse Steakhouse’ vegetables harvested at their peak run the game, while proteins stand in salutation. It’s been a long time coming, but vegetables are on their way to getting the recognition they deserve. Start off with the Crusty Avocado and make your way to the Blackened Salmon, you won’t regret it!
Por Que No
3524 N MISSISSIPPI AVE.
.2 mile from Sippi
If you’re feeling the need for some tacos, check out Por Que No! This is the only place you need to go for great tacos (in fact, they were just voted the best tacos in Portland). This delicious, authentic, street-style Mexican food. If you like fish, you definitely have to try the fish tacos. Bryan’s Bowl filled with meat, veggies, guac, queso fresco, and crema is another favorite. If you like spicy food, we highly recommend the chorizo taco.
