If you are looking for a really great donut, try Blue Star. VooDoo donuts is, unfortunately, overrated. Our favorite from Blue Star was their PB&J. A close second was their lemon curd donut. Sorry for the long comment. I didn't intend it that way but thought it might be helpful to you if you're still in the area and need recommendations :) <br /><br />We also tried the following. <br /><br />Nong's Khao Man Gai: Pass on that please. It was not as good as it is hyped up to be. <br /><br />Pok Pok: We only came here to try their Ike's Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings. It's a good beer snack. <br /><br />Podnah's Pit Barbecue: If you want REALLY great BBQ, come here. Their brisket & hot link were to die for. <br /><br />Grassa: House made pasta. Good stuff. <br /><br />'Reel M'Inn Tavern: Truely a hidden local gem. Their fried chicken is worth the wait. It takes a while for the bartender to make it. <br /><br />Tesoaria: I'm not sure if you're a wine drinker but this place is a must try if you are. I typically don't enjoy the entire wine flight from wineries but ALL of their wines are delicious. <br /><br />Olympia Provisions: Really great charcuterie and food. <br /><br />Pine State Biscuits: Yeah, I would say their biscuits are worth the wait in line. <br /><br />Here are a list of other recommendations I got from a friend & cousin that live there. <br /><br />Restaurants – No Reservations Needed<br /><br />Fried Egg I’m in Love (Breakfast / Sandwiches) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/fried-egg-im-in-love-portland <br /><br />Wei Wei (Taiwanese / Beef Noodle Soup & Pork Dumplings) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/wei-wei-a-taste-of-taiwan-portland <br /><br /><br />Pip’s Donuts (Breakfast) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/pips-original-doughnuts-portland-2?osq=pip%27s+donuts <br /><br />Salt & Straw (Ice Cream) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/salt-and-straw-portland-2 <br /> <br />Teote (Latin American / Arepas) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/nongs-khao-man-gai-portland-2 <br /><br />Screen Door (Brunch / Chicken & Waffles) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/nongs-khao-man-gai-portland-2 <br /><br />Smoke House 21 (BBQ / Ribs) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/smokehouse-21-portland <br /><br />Bollywood Theater (Indian / Chicken Plate) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/bollywood-theater-portland <br /><br />Brunch Box (Brunch / Burgers) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/brunch-box-portland-3?sort_by=date_desc <br /><br />Lardo (Sandwich) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/lardo-portland <br /><br />Por Que No (Taqueria) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/por-que-no-taqueria-portland <br /><br />Elephant’s Delicatessen (Deli) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/elephants-delicatessen-portland <br /><br />Lemongrass (Thai) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/lemongrass-portland <br />Podnah’s (BBQ) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/podnahs-pit-barbeque-portland <br /><br />Broder (Scandinavian / Breakfast & Brunch) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/broder-portland <br /><br />Ox (Steakhouse) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/ox-portland <br /><br />Accanto (Brunch / Italian) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/accanto-portland <br /><br />Waffle Window (Breakfast / Waffles) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-waffle-window-portland <br /><br />Fifty Licks (Ice Cream) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/fifty-licks-portland-2 <br /><br />Restaurants - Reservations Required <br /><br />Feisty Lamb (Modern American / Brunch) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/feisty-lamb-portland <br /><br />Tasty n Sons (American / Brunch) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/tasty-n-sons-portland <br /><br />Ataula (Spanish / Tapas Bar) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/ataula-portland <br /><br />Bamboo Sushi (Sushi / Local Roll or Salmon Flight) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/bamboo-sushi-portland?osq=bamboo+sushi <br /><br />Aviary (Asian Fusion / Chawanmushi) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/aviary-portland <br /><br />Andina (Peruvian / Ceviche, Avocado Stuffed Crab & Stuffed Peppers) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/andina-portland <br /><br />Kachka (Russian / Dumplings) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/kachka-portland-2 - <br /><br />Imperial (Modern American) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/paleys-place-portland <br /><br />Paley’s Place (French / Wine Bar) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/paleys-place-portland <br /><br />Laurelhurst Market (Steakhouse) - http://www.yelp.com/biz/laurelhurst-market-portland-3 <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />JadedOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914739051719987254noreply@blogger.com
