Are we surprised?! Definitely not.
We Portlanders (the East Coast ones!) have known this to be true all along. With what seems like a new restaurant or brewery opening up every day, we have been so lucky to call this town home.
Some of our favorite places to pop in for food or drink:
Brit:
Dutch's for affordable homemade deliciousness!
East Ender as the hidden spot with great happy hour specials and good apps to pair.
Chris:
Tomaso's for the neighborhood hole in the wall feel, but has a great draft selection and quality pub food you'd expect in a foodie town like Portland.
Elise:
Baharat in East Bayside - creative cocktails and lots of options for vegetarian and meat eaters!
Erin:
Ribolitta's for the fantastic food at a good price.
Bunker Brewing for a good outdoor space to enjoy the amazing beer.
