My favourite thing about visiting the States is the choice. Compared to Canada, there is just more of everything. More flavours of gum, more cereal, more chocolate, more liquor, more food. So with only two and a half days in Portland — a definite foodie heaven — you have to make choices and live with them. My friends and I were pretty certain that whatever choices we did make, we would wind up happy. And we did.
What follows is a list of fine establishments that provided us with some tasty eats and cool treats for the heat wave we landed in the middle of. Pretty much everything we ate and saw fulfilled our Stumptown dreams, but in terms of musts: Le Pigeon, Bunk, brunch at Broder, cocktails at Clyde Common and getting out of the central areas to experience some of Portland’s great neighbourhoods.
Can’t wait to go back!
