Portland, Oregon’s penchant for artisanal extends from restaurants and bakeries to crafts, clothing and beer. The city’s location means it has a wealth of local ingredients at its disposal, plus plenty of chefs with the talent and vision to create memorable meals. The best restaurants in Portland are showcases for both local ingredients and the multitude of cultures represented within the city.
The best things to do in Portland are a little quirky, and so are the restaurants.

While many food trucks remain consistent favorites, many food truck chefs have graduated to open their own restaurants. Whether you’re looking for farm-to-table, Filipino, Vietnamese or French (and anything else you can think of), Portland’s restaurants have it.
