Portland Casual Dining


Por Que No is solidly one of my favorite places to eat in Portland. It is located next to Apizza Scholls, making it a difficult decision every time, but you can't go wrong with either. The Grilled Cheese Grill is a lovely throwback to earlier days, but its just hard to each slabs of cheese and not feel a little guilty.

Restaurant Reviews

Flying Pie Pizzeria - casual and delicious. I had a slice of greek pizza and the pinapple and both were delicious.

Pho Green Papaya - fun atmosphere with an eclectic crowd. The food was delicious but the service was lacking in a nice 'we won't bother you' sort of way.

Pambiche Restaurant - This cuban restaurant was easy to find and cute location. It was small but because we went at 3:00 we were able to get a table right away. The menu was kind of overwhelming but we picked empanadas to start with, which were delicious. I ordered vaca frita and it was really tasty. I liked this restaurant enough to go back but it is not at the top of my list.
Maki Sushi - It has been awhile since I ate sushi so I was craving it enough for anything to taste good. That said, the sushi here did seem particularly tasty. Perhaps, slightly over-salted. My only real complaint is that the water tasted like fish! Ringside - Know for being one of the top ten steakhouses in the states, this restaurant lived up to its claim. It was tasty with a fancy yet cozy atmosphere. I loved the onion rings and potatoes! My steak was kind of hard to cut (might have been the knife) but it tasted delicious.
