Restaurants in Portland Oregon
The restaurants in Portland have developed a great reputation over the past few years, with fresh local ingredients being prepared in creative ways by up-and-coming young chefs. There is no end to dining options in Portland, with many neighbourhood eateries being hidden gems. Portland cuisine tends toward organic, locally-produced foods, and is known for an abundance of venues that cater to vegetarians and vegans.
There is no central dining district in Portland, meaning the main inconvenience in dining out can be finding these hole-in-the-wall places, many of which do not take bookings. However, the Pearl District and Nob Hill neighbourhoods have a good selection of restaurants to please most tastes.
Another fun dining option for travellers on the go is the army of food carts in the downtown area. With delicious options ranging from Mexican tacos and Korean barbecue to Belgian fries and American hot dogs, the carts make a great budget option for lunch in Portland. Muevo Mexico, Koi Fusion, and Moxie RX Roadside Juice Bar are local favourites.
Screen Door
A bastion of Southern comfort food in the American Northwest, Screen Door serves up classics like brisket, pulled pork, gumbo, and their famous fried chicken and waffles; all with generous sides of cornbread and sweet potato fries. Screen door is casual, and doesn't take reservations, so be prepared to wait up to an hour for a table at peak times.

Voodoo Doughnut
One of the most famous, and quirkiest, restaurants in Portland is Voodoo Doughnut, a wildly popular donut shop in 3rd Avenue, where patrons can buy pastries, have a beer, and get married all in the same venue. Donuts range from the popular Bacon Maple Bar to strangely-named creations like the cereal-covered Captain My Captain. Open late, Voodoo Doughnut can have queues around the block on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so go late at night or during the week.
