"The best restaurants in Portland, Oregon reflect a diverse dining scene that has come a long way since the first wave of farm-to-table restaurants opened here back in the mid-1990s. Though only one of those original restaurants- Higgins-is still around today, the influence of such pioneers is still felt in many of the Portland's best restaurants today. New places like vegan fine-dining venue Astera, Will Preisch's 82 Acres, Gregory Gourdet's world-famous Haitian hotspot Kann, and the stunning Mexican-locavore Lilia Comedor"
"Another round of important stalwarts unfortunately closed over the past few years, especially during the pandemic, but those that survived-beloved spots like Coquine, Davenport, Kachka, Magna Kusina, Nostrana, OK Omens, and Ox-have come back even stronger, in some cases reinventing themselves to include lunch, gourmet shops, and even oyster bars. To grasp the scope of Portland's ever-changing dining scene, read on for our editors' picks of the very best restaurants in this Oregonian city."
Portland’s dining scene evolved from mid-1990s farm-to-table pioneers into a diverse culinary landscape that combines local sourcing with global influences. Only one of the earliest farm-to-table restaurants remains, yet those origins continue to shape contemporary kitchens. New venues such as Astera, 82 Acres, Kann, and Lilia Comedor push local and seasonal sourcing into refined expressions. Several important restaurants closed during recent years and the pandemic, but many survivors such as Coquine, Davenport, Kachka, Magna Kusina, Nostrana, OK Omens, and Ox returned stronger, often expanding offerings to include lunch, shops, or oyster bars. Selection criteria include standout dishes, service, inclusivity, and sustainability.
