Quirky fish and chip shop with a Dr. Who theme. British beers, authentic fish and chips, and it's not uncommon that Dr. Who will be playing on the monitors. A nice stop if you want to surprise a Dr. Who fan in your group. Open late on weekends.

A floating restaurant on a dock on the Columbia river. More pub-style food than Salty's which is just up the road. Open air. Brilliant on nice days, maybe not a great choice when the weather isn't at it's best. It's a bit out of the way, so it's not touristy. Not as intimate or quiet (it's close to the airport) as The Island Cafe, but it's far easier to get seated.

Parks & Nature
5,200 acres of forest within the city limits. Seemingly endless trails, lush vegetation. Multiple entry points, and a variety of trails. Adjacent to The Oregon Zoo, The Japanese Garden, and the famous Portland Test Rose Garden. Fantastic when you need to get to the outdoors but don't have time to make it to the Gorge.

A nice hiking trail that follows a stream and passes the "witch's castle". A good hike if you're just getting started or if you have kids with you.

Breathtaking year round. Majestic views and countless hiking trails (check online, some are still recovering from the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire). Even if the weather doesn't encourage a hike, the views from the car are still fantastic - we recommend a loop using both the Washington (Hwy 14) and Oregon (Hwy 84) sides of the river, use either Hood River or The Bridge of the Gods as a turnaround.
