Food Scene
It's impossible to list the best restaurants in Portland because there are so many! This is definitely a foodie town and there really isn't a good excuse for a bad meal whatever your budget. Look for regional ingredients because the Willamette Valley (just south of Portland) is one of the most fertile growing regions in the country.
We've listed here a few of our favorites (and are relatively nearby), but don't forget to check out Eaterpdx.com for more options and definitely visit a food cart pod while you're here - quintessential Portland. Bon appetit!
