4 Days of Portland Dining

Recently I took my first ever trip to the Pacific North West, spending 4 days in Portland. A lot of eating happened, a whole lot. I am sharing my itinerary with ya'll in case you ever find yourself over there.

Key:

EOR= East of the River WOR= West of the River, this comes in handy when trying to maximize your time

Restaurants/Bars are Bolded

Day 1 Breweries and Restaurant Hopping

Pre Brunch Drinks: Is that a thing? Sure, we had a wait for brunch so we grabbed lovely light cocktails at Petunia's across the street (WOR)

Brunch: (WOR) Tasty n Alder: tried every bloody mary on the menu, we also had fried oysters and korean fried chicken. I think there were eggs on them, so it was able to be called brunch.

Activity: EOR Brewery Tour via rented bike ($12/day + extra if you lock at non designated bike stop)

Our favorite Hair of the Dog, great aged selection. We also biked to: Green Dragon and Burnside

Post Brewery Snack: sloppy, awesome sandwiches including the Pho’Rench Dip at Lardo (WOR)

Happy Hour: cured meat plates and a Blood and Sand cocktail Hamlet (WOR)
