Portland Restaurants

Portland Restaurant Reviews

Lovers of ethnic foods have their pick of Chinese, French, Indian, Peruvian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Middle Eastern, Tex-Mex, Thai, and Vietnamese specialties. Most of the city's trendier restaurants and reliable classics are concentrated in Nob Hill, the Pearl District, and downtown. A smattering of cuisines can also be found on the east side of town as well, near Fremont, Hawthorne Boulevard, Sandy Boulevard, and Alberta Street.

Compared to other major cities, Portland restaurants aren't open quite as late, and it's unusual to see many diners after 11 pm even on weekends, though there are a handful of restaurants and popular bars that do serve late. Many diners dress casually for even higher-end establishments; jeans are acceptable almost everywhere.
