DINING OPTIONS NEARBY
MAURICE
If Måurice isn’t Portland’s best downtown lunch spot (it might very well be), then it’s easily its
most charming. Kristen D. Murray and her crew take seasonal ingredients and spin them into
gold-standard salads, gorgeous smørrebrød, and airy quiches. Visitors should sample a few 昀椀ka
— the black pepper cheesecake, in particular, is an iconic Portland dish — as well as any seafood
dishes on the menu. Source: www.pdx.eater.com
LECHON
Located across the street from Waterfront Park, Lechon’s sprawling interior, replete with
aquariums 昀椀lled with jelly昀椀sh, attracts tourists and locals for its happy hour and festive energy.
The dinner menu serves satisfying South American fare like Peruvian lomo saltado, grilled
octopus with chorizo, and achiote-marinated lamb chops, eaten alongside the restaurant’s
cocktails — nonalcoholic or otherwise. Source: www.pdx.eater.com
SUN RICE
Tucked inside the lobby of Portland’s Moxy hotel, Sun Rice specializes in silogs, Filipino
breakfasts incorporating garlicky rice and fried eggs. Protein choices range from Pinoy classics
like lemongrass-marinated chicken and lechon kawali, as well as fun one-off specials like corned
beef and seared albacore steaks in coconut sauce. Source: www.pdx.eater.com
STRETCH THE NOODLE
This sweet downtown Portland food cart lives up to its name: Chefs stretch chewy noodles of
various shapes and sizes each day from within the Midtown Beer Garden pod. Some come
tossed in chile oil; others arrive piled high with herbs in a delicate beef broth. Each noodle order,
however, should also come with a set of fat shrimp dumplings, if available. Source: www.pdx.eater.com
PIZZA JERK
For hot slices that are sure to please, head to the downtown location of Pizza Jerk. The main
menu offers a variety of classic pies like cheese and pepperoni, plus a Clam Jam with clams and
white wine, the Meatzza with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and meatballs, and
the Lovely Linda with roasted fennel and red onion. Source: www.pdx.eater.com
