Portland restaurants
Portland restaurants are a big delight in this mid-sized city, and dining here is often a culinary adventure. Many of the city's neighborhoods provide clusters of restaurants to choose from, with a great variety of prices and menus. You'll find some of the trendiest dining in the city's Pearl District, in ultra cool renovated warehouse spaces. Prices are a bit higher here, and the menus much more experimental, so you are in for some epicurean surprises. Other great neighborhoods to explore for great dining include the Nob Hill area along Northwest 21st Avenue. For less expensive restaurants, without sacrificing quality and variety, definitely cruise along Northeast Broadway in the Irvington area. And, for some of the hottest spots to get a bite try the Sellwood neighborhood in Southeast Portland. But the city is dotted with every kind of cuisine, price, and experience you could look for at mealtime. Portland restaurants are waiting to give you a great gustatory time!
