Food Scene

Portland is overflowing with good Thai restaurants, but Boda is an easy favorite. The unique menu offers authentic dishes you won't find in other places. They're also open past midnight, when options are more limited. The wait can be long during peak times in the summer, though, and they do not take reservations.

One of Portland's flagship fine dining establishments, and a great place to go to impress someone. The food is of the highest quality, including a variety of meat and seafood options. The atmosphere is noisy and industrial, with a large open kitchen. It's easy to spend about $50 per person even without drinks.

My favorite specialty/organic food store in Portland. If you want to cook, this is the place with the highest quality eggs, bacon, bulk goods, and fresh raw milk, plus a surprisingly impressive and unique beer selection. They also have a deli that serves soups and sandwiches and baked goods. Vegan options available.
