50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Portland

“The best pizza I’ve had, and I eat pizza a lot. We had the pepperoni and the garlic arugula pizza and my friend and I kept just saying how good it was. It’s the kind of pizza you feel like you should keep talking about but you come up short everytime you try.“

“Kate's plant-based ice cream is exceptionally delicious. A lot of the stir-ins are made in-house, too, which adds to the delight of the treat! The venue is small (not much room to stick around, especially with long queues), but cute. One of the only downsides is the price: expect to pay $6+ for a single scoop. It's still well worth a try, regardless!“

“The cutest subway station turned into a coffee spot! My friends and I ordered chai tea, spanish and tiramisu latte.The service took 30 minutes and the line wasn’t that long, but the lattes were absolutely worth it. Chai had the perfect amount of spice.“

“Blew me away! I love this food cart pod already but I wanted to try something new and I will be back! My partner got a burrito and I got the taco plate with carnitas and portobello. Incredible! Love the colorful plates too and the salsas were spicy but not too spicy. Perfect amount of kick.“

“One of favorite breweries. A hidden jewel of the Portland beer scene. High quality beer in a wide variety of traditional styles and some innovations. Chill and friendly vibe. Dog friendly. Worth going off the beaten path to have a pint or two.“

“Get the PORK BELLY SANDWICH and the KILLER FRIES guys!!!! Let’s support this family owned business because it’s worth it!?Sandwich: Pork Belly is on a different level (Also recommend Lemongrass pork/chicken) The carrot and cucumber daico is so different than other places, which is a plus point from me. 10/10?Killer Fries: I found this on delivery app but couldn’t find it on the menu in store. I’m pretty sure it’s still available as a “secret” menu. It has fries, bulgogi meat, and 3 kinds of sauce. You have to give this a try!!! 10/10They also make their own hot sauce which is FIREEEEE?. Like what’s better than fresh sauce compare to on-the-market sauceI got the combo which is the sandwich, potsticker, and thai tea and everything is phenomenal. I didn’t expect it to be this good and you can feel the freshness of everything. I love family owned business and this place has prove its worth. Will come back for sure?“

“The Shaku Bar: A beautiful, low key bar with fantastic food and unique drinks.If you like great food, great drinks and a fun casual atmosphere, do not miss out on The Shaku Bar.Shaku is a hidden gem in an otherwise quiet part of NE Portland. Expect a warm, casual atmosphere, friendly service and great food and drinks.Highlights include the Katsu Sando, Fried Kimchi, and tofu bites. Don't forget to ask about the Starfleet bottle on Wednesday; a featured fine spirit offered at a steep discount while the bottle lasts.If you are feeling adventurous inquire about the Katsu burger which is an off-menu item combining the shaku burger and katsu sando into an epicure's delight.Shaku offers something for everyone, from the extensive bar and tap selection to the clever and delicious menu full of elevated casual food and original dishes.Vegetarian options: There are limited but delicious vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. The tofu bites are my personal favorite.Dietary restrictions: Folks with peanut allergies should be fine here (speaking from experience) Inquire with the staff if you have any allergies or food you avoid and they will take care of you.Parking: There is always parking out front or just around the corner.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly before 6pm. Lots of fun snacks for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor access to all seating with a gentle ramp at the entrance. A generous patio is also a available.“

“Incredible!!! I got the birria tacos and they were just fantastic. Piping hot, great mix of textures and flavors, and a great portion size. Thank you! Can't wait to eat here again!Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian options and many of them are vegan, or can be made vegan!“

“My third time at Keeper Coffee Co. today:)!! I love the feel of the space. It reminds me of a little coffee spot in the UK and I’m always consistently happy with the lattes and choice of pastries etc no matter the time of day.Vegetarian options: Mostly vegetarian not vegan that I know of.“

“I've heard so much about this ice cream, so I'm glad I finally got to try it.I really appreciate that they let you do half scoops so I could try more flavors. My husband and I split a double scoop waffle cone with:- Passionfruit Yuzu Mochi Donuts & Whey Curd- Pear & Blue Cheese- Arbequina Olive Oil- Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black PepperFirst off, this is the only place I have been with waffle cones as good as Jeni's, which was a pleasant surprise.Weird flavors are right up my alley, so I was in heaven. The strawberry balsamic was hands down my favorite because the flavor was so intense. The passion fruit one would be my second choice.I would happily come back, but there are many other places I want to try while we're in Portland too. Too much ice cream to try is quite the problem to have.“

“I had the bulgogi beef, cheese corn, and ban-chan. This was a very quiet, relaxing and delicious experience! Eating here felt like being cared for at someone's home, everything was presented with such care. It really made me realize how many of the Korean restaurants I go to are focused on Korean bar food.Parking: This is in the heart of St John's commercial area, so all parking is street parking.“

“As a 1st time guest, this restaurant is fantastic. Smooth and friendly seating after arrival. Ambience and music levels were ideal. Surrounding diners all seemed content and everyone enjoying themselves. There was a calm sense of urgency and efficiency by the staff which shows good management is present. The food was perfect, well balanced, great selection of greens, proteins and sides. Flavours were all great matches for each dish. The venue is well kept and clean, this to me shows great care is taken in the presentation and look of the space. Well done to the team. With all the positive, there is always one issue that is showing up on checks . The staff wellness charge on the check. This passive guilt charge is not a concern of diners. This is an ownership responsibility. My recommendation is to add $1 to all your top 5 dishes to cover this expense. Staff deserve all the support possible especially in hospitality as it's long hard hours. Just don't add it to the guest check. It's weird and also skews the tip calculations on the check total. Find another way . See you soon“

“Amazing!!! I've never had catfish before trying it here. I love it! This place has fast and friendly service. The lemon vinaigrette coleslaw is so good. I'm not a fan of regular coleslaw but this is definitely not that. Large portions and its all tasty! My dad was raised where catfish is a staple and said it's almost like home. The only thing I didn't care for was the tables are a little closer than I'd like. Second visit and hopefully many more to come.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Our friends that have dined all over the world say this is one of their favorite restaurants in town. My friend and I went and thought it was good but not mind-blowing. The service was good, the atmosphere very lively and fun (kind of on a hip bar side of things). For the equivalent quality and price and portions, I prefer many other place in town. Also, I think another reviewer mentioned they left hungry? To be fair, we only ordered four plates and 2-3 were recommended per person at minimum, meat free. However...I too left hungry and just didn't want to surpass the $45 (with tip) I already spent on my food plus $20 for drink.“

“Everything was perfection!! Went for all day happy hour on a Monday and that was a great entry point into this restaurant. The deals weren’t anything crazy, but made it easier to try more things. Every dish we got was delicious and fresh and the servers were so helpful and attentive. Would definitely go back!!“

“Local roaster and coffee shop with multiple options for single-origin coffee. I had a cup of their daily drip offering, which was a Kenyan with pleasant acidity and fruity overtones. Nutty Bars, Star Crunch, and other classic snacks available in lieu of the standard pastries. ??“

“My husband and I were visiting Portland for a basketball game and we decided to stop here the morning after. We arrived early right before the lunch rush. The food was amazing and the owners/ workers showed great hospitality. Food also came quick! Will definitely be back!“

“Anytime I go to this food court, I go directly to LoRell’s Chicken. I live in Vancouver, Wa and whenever I cross the bridge to run errands I always make sure to stop by Lorell’s for lunch. They are always so nice and take time out of their busy day to make sure to come over to check up on you.“

“Definitely a must try at least once! The ice cream flavors change often, but there are always the consistent flavors that are there every time. It's worth going in and asking for a sample of as many kinds as you want to try until you find your favorite (they use actual silverware for the samples).“

“Highly recommended by locals and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoy sours and that’s what brought me here. The large selection of beers is fantastic! I enjoyed a flight of 5 different beers and the bartender gave me a taste of a seasonal one to boot. I was visiting from Alabama for the weekend and I am so glad I was directed to this brewery! The area had great shopping too. Cool local stores nearby.“

“From the moment we walked in we felt the love and energy from a very attentive staff. Our host seated us promptly welcomed us and introduced us to Nicholas! Nicholas was awesome. Thank you Thank you Thank you!! We are definitely big fans!!!“

“Fillmore Trattoria is our favorite dining experience in Portland. We have eaten there for 8 years on our visits to Portland. It is truly where the locals eat. The Food is excellent and Spencer and Emma are wonderful cooks and hosts. I highly recommend eating there.“

“I love Japanese sandos and was so happy to find this spot when visiting Portland.My husband and I shared:- Miso Katsu Sando with Pork- Naka Sando- Tokyo Curry Pan SandoI don't think you can go wrong with anything you get here. The Miso Katsu Sando was my favorite. I loved the sauce and all of the flavors.The curry sando was super unique. I enjoyed the first few bites the most, but then it got a bit too heavy for me with the fried bread. I would ideally want to share this with 4 people.The cart consistently has a line. We waited about 40 minutes for ordering + receiving our food. You can order in advance too, but they weren't sold out of any sandos when we got there around noon on a weekend.There is a lot of covered outdoor seating and heaters when it's cold. Parking in the area is paid street parking only.“

“Tomorrow's Verse is one of our favorite Portland establishments. The beer selection is top notch, the space is open and inviting, and the staff is always welcoming. They offer savory hand pies and permit outside food too--there is a wealth of excellent food options all along NE Fremont. Additionally, Tomorrow's Verse has a patio area--it became our living room during the height of the pandemic. If you're into live music, Tomorrow's Verse frequently hosts bands and streaming concerts. I cannot recommend Tomorrow's Verse enough.“

“I was worried we would have trouble finding seating but even during the lunch rush it seems people don't dawdle after they've eaten and we were able to sit while eating.The food workers are also loud when calling your order so unless you aren't paying attention, getting your order won't be an issue either. Its very clean and even the port-a-potties, although heavily graffitied, were clean too.“

“@tovcoffeebar in Portland has been by far my favorite coffee place I have found here! I got the Coconut Chai Tea and also tried The Arabic People Latte (actual names, swipe right to see menu) and they were both superb. The coffee was beyond smooth and just the perfect hint of cardamom. The chai tea also had a subtle note of coconut in one of my all time fav and go to drinks. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Part of going is definitely for the experience! We got ours to go, but still went upstairs to the deck while we waited and the atmosphere was so inviting. Also, pup friendly! 5 stars, hands down and will be back. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Delicious ice cream (although I wish there were more gluten free options!). The single split scoop is kind of big (which most would think is a good thing I'm sure!). I might rather pay for an actual normal scoop size (split flavor) and pay a little less for a smaller portion (I know that seems crazy to say but sometimes I just want an actual single scoop!).“

“Such a cute little vegan place! The worker was so nice to me and my daughter! Plus she made us some MEAN tacos and nachos. This is vegan food that holds up, ya’ll. I could eat this every day! On top of that, the atmosphere is so cute, flowers and tacos painted on the walls, Polaroids of doggie visitors, and a spacious covered patio with heaters. My new favorite vegan spot. Love love love ❤️Dietary restrictions: Soy free vegan meat (hallelujah!)“

“First time eating Sri Lankan, and I think it is my favorite. Helps that I had a Sri Lankan friend with me to order and everything was delicious. Flavors that made my mouth happy. Spicy but not too much. We had two different types of roti, string hoppers, dishes with eggplant, chicken, jackfruit, and pop sambol. Flavors were out of this world. The cardamom flan for dessert was yummy and the Sri Lankan Iced Coffee was so good. Can’t wait to return“

“This is the best birria not just in Portland, but that I've ever had. They specialize in it, and they mean it.When you come here, definitely get rice and beans as well. Squeeze that lime on your birria, and devour the sweet heat that is their special birria. You cannot go wrong here!!!“

“Incredible food and fun interior/ambiance, though cocktails were mediocre. Highlight of our visit to Portland and visited twice in 2 weeks.The food was unbelievably tasty — they really didn’t compromise on Texan barbecue quality with their Thai focus. The white curry with brisket burnt ends was one of the best dishes I’ve had all year. The massaman lamb curry was phenomenal too.The cocktails (Shoulda Woulda Coulda and Life of Luxury) were unfortunately overly sweet and candy-like. I would skip them and just get a cold Singha draft or their alcohol-based slushies instead.We received cold service on our first visit but super friendly and attentive service on the second. We walked in with no wait on a Monday at 4:30pm and waited 1h30 on Saturday evening at a great wine bar across the street.“

“As a Mexican-American taco enthusiast, stumbling upon El Yucateco Food Cart was a revelation. Initially drawn by my love for tacos, I was skeptical when my Midwestern friend recommended I try their panuchos. However, one bite was all it took to convert me into a devoted panucho aficionado.My first foray into panuchos left me with a pang of regret for not ordering more. Since that fateful day, I've become a regular patron, making the pilgrimage to El Yucateco whenever my cravings strike. The staff, with their warm smiles and genuine hospitality, only add to the experience.I must commend the staff's attentiveness, as they not only cater to my cravings but also ensure my friends are well taken care of. I couldn't help but chuckle when they graciously offered chips to my friend as she attempted to salvage the remnants of her vegetarian panuchos with her fingers. I can’t blame her though, that avocado salsa is like liquid heaven!“

“This is the place to go for sour beers. We ordered a bunch of 2oz pours and tried everything. The Bruschetta was unique and awesome. Risotto was great. They have a huge bottle list and sell lots of things in cans. The service was spot on and the location was great. We will be back.“

“I tried the reina pepiada which was pretty good tasting but did not blow me away. It came with a a side of maduros. The pricing is fairly steep, with the arepas ranging from $12-$15. For comparison, La Arepa has vegan arepas for $9-$10. I do not feel that the pricing is competitive for a food cart. That said, this place is worth checking out. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-25“

“Had a great meal here on Friday night, including some of the best gluten free pasta we've ever had. Service was lovely, very professional and we were treated well. Was a nice evening out. We did make a reservation, which was ready and waiting for us. I would recommend reserving a table before hand as it gets quite busy. Can't wait to go back!“

“Really happy I got to drop by today. I asked what the order taker preferred - Ribeye Torta.Incredible! The sauce added some nice spice and smokiness to the perfect cook on the meat, and the nice pickled veggies. Good bread with the Torta as well.Great price per quantity and quality of food. Nice on speed-- have previously been used to waiting ~30 mins for "other carts" on the square. This time the wait was maybe 5 mins.Nice to see veggie options. The tortilla I got was flour, but I forgot to ask about gluten free.“

“Pizza thief is a great, casual pizza spot! I came here for lunch on a Friday and got three slices and a small seasonal salad. They didn't have all the slices on their menu available, unfortunately, so I didn't get to try the slice I really wanted to, but we got the cheese, hot tony, and seasonal slice. The cheese was my favorite! Tasted like a classic NY slice. The seasonal was also one of the better white pizzas I've tried (they're usually not my favorite). It had asparagus, sunflower seed pesto, spring onion mix, and a bunch of cheeses. The Hot Tony wasn't my favorite surprisingly since I typically love a spicy meat pizza. And their small seasonal salad was good but just a touch too acidic for me although I will say the feta on the salad was super creamy and delicious.“

“The fact that they have lihing powder as a topping already sets the bar! I luckily stumbled upon this little gem as I was walking through the area. I find it very hard to find a good shave ice place on mainland. And I was especially surprised to find one in Portland! Wailua shave ice is a Hawaiian style shaved ice place. They make their ice very thin and soft and nothing like your typical snow cone. The fact that the owners are from Kauai is a bonus as my family is from there as well. They most certainly do not skimp out on syrup or toppings. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the area. The only downside is that they do not have indoor seating. However, there are plenty of benches you can sit at nearby the store itself. This will be added to my must stops in Portland!“

“The food quality is good, but the size of the breakfast burritos leave something to be desired, and I am a small person so I don't eat much. Would have been better if they put potatoes in it to bulk it up a little. The people working in there are nice and the lattes and food are good though. I would go back.“

“Chilango PDX is the best vegan food cart. Vanessa is so sweet and accommodating. If something is too spicy or not spicy enough, she’ll make you another one. The food is totally five stars and I’m not even a vegan. I’m now bringing all my friends there! Yum!!“

“Came here around 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get seated right away. The place is very cute with live plants decor and has a number of healthy food options! I got the vegan bowl with sweet potatoes and loved it! If you aren’t vegan adding an egg to it will also taste amazing! Highly recommend, will be “

“An absolute delight for brunch! I was in Portland for only a day and 2 people highly recommended this spot and it did not disappoint.They usually have a great list of specials. I had the pancakes with strawberry and whipped cream, the salmon hash, French press coffee and cinnamon pecan roll.Everything was delicious and felt like it was homemade from fresh ingredients. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, gave us lots of suggestions on what and how to order.The cafe has an overall fancy french bistro vibe“

“Had Gyro and it was real good. Little dry but other than real tasty tons of chicken-dry but healthier . Ambiance great for the time of year and took Maggie out back for a run and she encounter 4 coyote's, kinda cool but . Anyways, beers awesome as always and service!!“

“This place is in an alley off the most choice stretch of Division... It's got a pleasant cave-like ambiance with a hipster chandelier of feathers... the crowd was fun & diverse... the staff were kind... the best part, though, was the super creative wine list - that also offered some affordable options too! Didn't get to taste the food :/“

“Perfect rainy day food!! service was quick, granted we came right at the start of dinner service, only people eating inside but lots of to go orders came in and out while we were there. the atmosphere is cozy. Fried Rice Specieal (w Chinese sausage): good shrimp/fish sauce flavor, all the strong flavors (like birds eye chili and cilantro) come on the side so you can easily mix in or omit. 8/10 Braised Chicken Thigh in Curry with Roti and Pickled Veg: So incredibly comforting, simple yet amazing depth of flavor (warm spices, chicken was falling off the bone). Portion size was perfect, felt full at end with no leftovers. 9/10 best dish of food i've had this year Can't wait to come back again and try the drink menu“

“Speedboat coffee is a very cute coffee shop. It has the classic homey feeling that I love in a coffee shop.We got chai tea lattes and they were delicious.We also got some GF treats that were made by the owners mom. They were delicious, however my partner has celiac disease and had a reaction to them. I do not fault the business, accounting for celiac disease in gluten free foods is difficult because of the cross contamination and even needing to use separate cutting boards or other utensils. I only mention this so other people with celiac can remain safe!I will be returning to speedboat for more coffee soon! Thanks for the great service.“

“Should have taken a picture before annihilating such a delicious burger and shake, but alas I couldn't help myself. Nana is so sweet and makes you feel taken care of like your part of her family. I can't wait for my next visit. Thank you!!“

“NY style pizza from a food truck? You betcha. Top PDX pizza places for NY style pizza are usually Escape from NY, SFNY, SIZZLE Pie, Baby Doll but now you can add Giants NY to the list. Ordered an 18” Pepperoni pie and everything about it is just right. The fold, the cheese pull, the taste, Yumm! Also ordered a sausage calzone because it is so rare to find a calzone here that contains ricotta cheese. This was huge and full of goodness. That ricotta sure hits the spot!“

“This place was very good. The pastries were amazing, definitely try the pan dulce! The coffee was also fantastic and beautifully crafted. Friendly staff and very nice environment and ambiance as well. I recommend them.Vegetarian options: YesDietary restrictions: Dairy freeParking: BusyKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Y es“

“Great place to get a drink, popcorn and hummus are awesome. Reasonable prices. I don’t love the new furnishings in the back room. Seating is really high and hard to move around to accommodate people getting up etc. I liked the old set up better.“
