Real Taste of India is one the food carts that dot the Southwest 5th Avenue. This Indian cart has made a niche for itself with their delicious and cheap fare. They have everything on the menu from the staple favorite Chicken Tikka Masala to Lamb Tandoori, Malai Kofta, Bhindi Masala to Garlic Nan. The food is flavorful, filling and offers great value for money. Go for the combo meals if you're indecisive about what to pick.
Lavishly elegant, this restaurant is located in the ornate Bishop's House. The Gothic building, built in Victorian times, is an oddly fitting place for Lebanese dining. In a city with so many Middle Eastern restaurants that you might be hard pressed to visit one more than once, Al-Amir will still keep you coming back. Start your meal with Lebanese beer and lentil soup and end it with baklava. As for what comes in between, try the Dajaj- grilled chicken breast with a lemon-olive oil marinade. A full bar is available. Treat yourself to a round of belly dancing too.
Perched on the 30th floor of the U.S. Bancorp Tower, Portland City Grill is renowned for its amazing city views, happy hours and scrumptious food since it opened in 2002. Its intimate settings make it an ideal romantic restaurant as well. You can also grab a light dinner at the bar itself after a few drinks if you make it for happy hour. Savor their succulent steaks or contemporary seafood fare. You will know why they are still at the top of their game.

La cocinera y dueña Lisa Schroeder, con el objetivo de enfocarse en la dura ausencia de restaurantes de calidad que ofrezcan comida casera, tomó la experiencia que obtuvo en los lugares similares a Le Cirque para crear comida extraordinariamente fresca del estilo de un restaurante pequeño en el ambiente espacioso y luminoso de este antiguo edificio bancario de estilo irlandés. Los menús del almuerzo y desayuno ofrecen una variedad excelente de especialidades del noroeste preparadas para los estándares más altos. El menú de la cena es más variado; disfruta todo, desde ensaladas hasta puchero y cuscús de verdura. La excelente lista de vino ofrece la opción de solicitar el vino en botella o en vaso. Los interiores del restaurante ofrecen un juego excelente de luz natural con ventanas enormes y cortinas blancas y delicadas que crea un ambiente aireado y cómodo. A este encanto se agregan lámparas chandelier ornamentales. El bar posee un ambiente un poco más refinado con las paredes de ladrillo y una decoración alegre que crea un ambiente distinguido. Gracias a que la comida es aclamada de manera consistente, no cabe duda alguna que Mother’s se ha convertido en los favoritos de la ciudad.
