9 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Portland

“My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at Ocotillo. We worked closely with the amazing manager, Lea, and head chef extraordinaire Al. Al and their team are incredibly talented in the kitchen. The meal was hands down the best food I have ever eaten. Everyone raved about the food, drinks and service all night. The waitstaff was kind and helpful. The drinks were stellar, the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you so much to the whole staff at Ocotillo for helping us create an amazing night we will never forget. I could not recommend Ocotillo enough.“

“I would just like to tell a very short story about how my friend Rex who is 65 years old he is a homeless man out of the Portland area. I took him in to Denny's in Portland to get breakfast on a cold Winter's day in January 2022. We ordered our food with our server who was very rude and after eating our cold yucky breakfast my friend Rex was refused a bathroom to use and then the manager came out and told us for NO REASON, to leave and never come back! It was the worst experience because all my friend Rex needed was a hot breakfast he doesn't bother anyone and never sticks up for himself or creates a fuss! So in looking for another breakfast place to eat we found IHOP in Portland and from the start of walking into that restaurant was so nice and clean the hostess was amazing and sat us immediately with a smile our server Bethany she was amazing so nice and kind she took our order and treated us like human beings she was not judgmental and she took our order the same way she takes everyone's orders with a smile and gracious heart! My friend Rex absolutely loves his fried eggs and his bacon so we now visit the Portland IHOP twice a week. I had told the servers about what had happened to us with our experience at Denny's and the server from IHOP told Rex and myself that we were allowed at IHOP anytime and that they would love to have us!! I can't even tell you how much this warms my heart knowing that I can take my friend who has fallen on some hard times into a restaurant to eat a very nice warm meal and have the best servers in the best wait staff around us! You are amazing IHOP and we love you so much! We will be there every Tuesday and Friday for bacon and eggs comforted by the graciousness and smiles of everyone in the restaurant at IHOP! Keep on being the most amazing restaurant in the world because from my point of view you absolutely are! We love you IHOP thank you so much for your hospitality!“

“without question the best breakfast sandwich I ever had. honey ham egg and habanero bacon jam with Gouda on a jalapeno cheddar biscuit.... 🥳“

“I love having this spot in Westbrook! The food is delicious and the wait staff is also so friendly. I love coming to eat here. Early morning weekdays are the best days because it’s quiet.
I like the set up and the lowkey diner feel, it gives a cozy vibe especially for breakfast.“
