50 Best Salad Restaurants in Portland

“All around amazing experience. Welcoming & knowledgeable staff, delicious flavors, and a cozy home vibe partially due to the fact that it *is* a home (located on the 2nd floor of a house). My friends and I had a great time and loved all the flavors. The duck was my favorite - others raved about the crepe and the black cod. I'd come back for the chocolate crepe alone 🤤“

“Legitimately some of the best pizza I've had in Portland, and that's coming from someone who's been to almost all of the heavy-hitters in town. Tastes obviously vary, but I don't think anyone who likes wood-fired pizza will leave disappointed.
We started with the fresh baked palloncino bread, which was warm & delightfully chewy with a subtle lemony bite. However, it was super salty (and I say this a habitual over-salter). Thankfully the flaky finishing salt was easy to brush off, which tamed the saltiness. We also had the Belgian endive caesar. The crisp endive mixed well with the creamy dressing & the croutons were out of this world (not shocking, really).
For pizzas, we had the leek & hazelnut and the salami supremo. While the cheese and toppings were top notch, the doughy crust was the star. Perfectly charred, yet soft and chewy. Just excellent.
The tiramisu we had for dessert was also very light and dare I say refreshing.
Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere left something to be desired, but wasn't bad & didn't diminish the experience at all. Just maybe not quite up to par with other places in that price range.
Overall, a great experience. I will certainly be back!“

“I like everything about this restaurant! The food was fresh, healthy and it was a fair price. I liked the help and the clientele and the general atmosphere. I'll be back!!“

“I haven’t given a restaurant 5 stars in so long. The food was amazing! We wish we lived here, we’ll definitely come back! The pork noodles were our favorite. You can tell the chef really care about the meal and the details!“

“February 8th, 2026 menu & service was absolutely divine! Start to finish service and all staff present were absolutely charming and very attentive. Presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere felt very warm, cozy and inviting. Plates were absolutely stunning in all ways. The textures in each dish were just so perfect, exciting and unique. The flavors complimented each other so well and each course was perfectly balanced, flowing nicely into the next. Everything was absolutely perfect, the thrill of enjoying such technical yet plant based preperations genuinly brings tears of joy. Thank you so for so perfectly encapsulating the possibilities of plant based foods! 💚💚 We were happy to hear about the recipes staying and going from the menu, we couldn't agree more with the choices. The Kombucha pairings were magical. Meadowland was perfect. The respect payed to plants here, the absolutely mind blowing creativity that leaves you craving more, makes Astera stand out as a historical evolution for plant based flavor, technical creativity, creation, service and passion in the plant based realm in the U.S. Astera is heaven on earth. I cannot express enough gratitude for such a wonderful little spot, thank you for such tasty snacks!! We will be back very soon, hoping to experience the seasons with you!“

“We were there for the first time on the evening of January 10, 2026. We sat at the bar for a bit because we were a little early for our reservation. Michelle brought us a couple of beers and we ordered a plate of six oysters. She chatted cheerfully with us while she busily poured drinks for others and then introduced us to her two sons and a son’s girlfriend, who all also work there. Everyone was so friendly and kind! When our table was ready, Michelle thanked us for being there and said that it was great to meet us. At our table, we ordered another half dozen oysters, a caesar salad, a couple more beers, and two big bowls of cioppino. Absolutely delicious with the large, thick slices of freshly-made garlic bread for dunking. This place is a true gem. Four generation of family working there and their love for the place and what they do shows. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“Had a fabulous dinner here! The venison special was better than any steak I’ve ever had, and dessert was just as incredible. A true gem worth supporting!“

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in portland. Absolutely fantastic food and drink- everything we’ve eaten there has been outstanding. And the owners and servers just delightful charming people. I recommend this to everyone!“

“The set menu changes every two months. The dishes combine traditional with a contemporary twist. Some of the dishes were a bit sweet for our taste.

Some of the servers wear traditional colors for the days of the week (e.g. Wednesday = Green, Sunday = red).“

“I've. eaten all over Southeast Asia including street amrt I've eaten at many Southeast Asian restaurants, including in Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos, and can unequivocally say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Starters to dessert, the food was unique, inspired and full of multiple flavors. Bravo and five stars!“

“Had the most delicious food and friendly/attentive service here recently! The food came really quickly and it was absolutely delicious. In Portland, it’s hard to find places that serve good food and have good service. Most people have great stars for the service, but the food is lacking. I’m a fan of this place and plan to come back! They are deserving of all the stars.“

“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!“

“Black Star Grill catered our wedding. They created an amazing menu and even delivered to our venue. Due to our covid concerns, they boxed each meal separately. This was very convenient to take home after the wedding. The food was DELICIOUS, even the staff loved the food. Many of our guests got to experience West African food for the first time. Thank you for being a part of our wedding!“

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“Excellent Reuben sandwich and freshly fried potato chips!“

“The best pizza I have had in a LONG time!! ❤️ 🍕“

“very delicious food and even better service.“

“Wanted a Korean food experience and wasn't disappointed. Place was beautiful, customer service was top notch, and food was delicious. Staff were very patient with all of our questions. Price was very reasonable especially with all the food we were served“

“This is the best Thai food I've tasted in Portland! Fresh, fast and made to order. They have both done in or take home. Either way it is fresh and yummy. Very delicious and great for families or a group gathering.“

“Amazing burgers !!! The beast burger was great but the beast of the sea was outstanding. It was definitely the best burger I had in a while. The fries and the lemonade both were really good. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great burgers.“

“Surprised the cost was more than Eugene.“

“I had not been to Bete Lukas in quite some time and we took some friends there recently. I remember now why I love it so much! My friends loved it too. Delicious food, and Peter was, as always, quite dry and humorous. I appreciate that almost all of the food is gluten free and also very easy to make choices that are dairy free as well. I highly recommend the sampler plate so that you can try everything, and the Doro Tibs are delicious! Thank you for a lovely evening and delicious dinner.“

“Delicious. Syrian/Lebanese - the flavors were smoother/softer than I’m used to. The pita was soft, closer to a fluffy flour tortilla, and the sandwiches we had that came in a pita were actually wrapped in a trifolded pita and pressed like a panini. The felafel were big and delicious. The baklava was in a orange blossom syrup and was perfect. The service was personable and on point. It’s on an active block of N Williams, so it’s a fun area to walk around before/after. Highly recommended.“

“Fast friendly service with delicious food. Support your neighborhood restaurants!“

“Good food. Great location. Good prices. Worth the visit“

“Deli made good food restaurant, outside frescoe atomosphere, good Italian food!“

“Everything we ordered was wonderful, especially the short ribs.“

“I went to Bar Loon with my daughters. We sat in an outdoor area, picnic bench style seating. I got the hotdog- super big and very tasty. The onions on top were cooked down to a sweet n tasty topping which paired so well with the salty hotdog, and a wonderful soft bun. My daughter had the double cheeseburger which looked amazing as well. The staff were very friendly. Self serve water outside which was convenient & fresh. Lots of seating inside & out. It was casual & comfortable- we had a great meal and will be going back soon.“

“The Gibson came into the village surrounded by an assortment of other bars and knocked it out of the park. They carved out a perfect niche that didn’t exist and has become a fast neighborhood staple. The atmosphere, staff and quality of product never disappoints.

Everyone should add the Gibson to their list of places to go in Multnomah Village.“

“Awesome!! So good. Excellent flavors and staff!!“

“My favorite vegan pizza in Portland. Try the cheeseburger pizza.“

“Loved it so much, I made a TikTok montage, because I'm corny like that, but that sandwich. 💯👏🏾😎“

“Appetizer selection is priced a bit high. Lunch menu is ample and a good value. Dinner has a dedicated Kids menu. The range is from ala carte portions to regular plate meals to large combo dinners to Feast sized platters in styles common in specific regions of Mexico. Bountiful seafood selections. Everyone is pleasant and personable. I never feel rushed and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, appreciate friendly and efficient service and the wonderful food. Burritos are excellent. Chili relleno is authentic and absolutely delicious.“

“I love City Thai soooo much!! Hands down my favorite Thai food in the city. Always good, always fresh, always smiling faces! I just got my 42nd order (just guessing) to-go and it's just as good as the first!! Do yourself a favor, and order the 'Oh My God Rolls' you can thank me later ;)“

“had the acacia bowl! fantastic!“

“I ordered takeout here. They were super prompt and prices were fair. The staff was so friendly and the vegan noodle soup was delicious. The veggies were so fresh and cooked to perfection. The interior of the restaurant had a really nice vibe and appeared very clean. I will definitely be back!“

“Really delicious salad. You can choose the premise or choose your own sides and dressings.“

“Tikka Taco is amazing food. Indian food meets Mexican food. I work near and have eaten multiple times. Highly recommended.“

“Gluten free and vegan can't go wrong 😍“

“The food was delicious! I never say that about restaurants, but I want everyone to know about Ruk Diew Cafe! the food was fresh ND so good. the coconut prawns were tender and flavorful, the fried tofu was crispy and the sauce yummy. I think I had green mango in a lovely sauce with red peppers. I am a happy diner.“

“We did not try the Pho, but what we ordered was legit. Bo Kho, thit Kho, and their fish sauce wings are excellent. Like mom's cooking and close to home taste.“

“I would love to call Addy’s a “hidden” gem, but they are far too busy to ever be considered hidden! This cute sandwich shop is only open 4 hours a day, only Monday-Friday so if you want to try it you should plan to wait a bit for your food.

The wait is worth it however! They serve delicious sandwiches and salads, with generous portions for the price. I always enjoy checking what the daily sandwich and salad specials will be. They are usually creative, tasty, and healthy.

For me the tomato tapenade panini always hits the spot. They don’t skimp on the mozzarella! I usually get a turkey salad too, and it’s always chock full of cubed turkey and avocado.

The real pro tip here is to get some of the free sauces next to the water station. I love the green sauce they have. I would buy it by the bottle if I could!

The employees here are friendly! I mentioned that I wish I had gotten a side of the wild rice salad they had today, and the employee behind the register kindly gave me a sample!

Addy’s serves flavor, smiles, and good vibes! It’s definitely worth the wait for a tasty lunch at a reasonable price!“

“Mitchell, the manager at Evergreens in the Portland airport treated us very well. Since I am gluten free not by choice, he let me know what would work and what wouldn’t. His expertise and willingness to help me choose the right food items to add to my bowl was appreciated. His demeanor and smile welcomed us and left a lasting impression.
The bowls we bought were delicious and the food fresh and satisfying. Excellent service and excellent food.“

“We recently ordered catering from Dara Thai Restaurant, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and easy to work with.

The food arrived right on time and was delivered in warming containers, which kept everything hot and fresh until it was ready to be served. We also greatly appreciated their attention to our allergy concerns—they carefully followed all of our requests, giving us peace of mind. On top of that, they generously included plenty of condiments and extras for our guests.

We ordered Pad Thai, Yakisoba noodles, teriyaki chicken, fried rice, egg rolls, curry puffs, and chicken wings. Every dish was delicious, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. One item that received especially rave reviews was the mango sticky rice. People kept coming back for it and asking where it was from—it was absolutely amazing!

We are very grateful for the excellent service and outstanding food. Dara Thai helped make our event a success, and we would highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality catering.“

“Cool, casual vibe. My party ordered our food to go. Out food was prepared rather quickly. Nice dining room. They had outdoor seating out front along with a back patio. Service was very friendly, and quick. Food was outstanding! Great burritos and.bowls!! Smoothie was so refreshing, mango peach lemon. And their giant chocolate chip sea salt cookie was awesome! I look forward to visiting again and highly recommend!!“

“everything that you injoy eating for breakfast ,lunch and dinner. i highly recommend it.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch treat to myself. The food was superb, and the wait staff was excellent and attentive. Inn addition to an enjoyable and completely affordable dining experience, my delight was extended by a generously gifted and delicious desert treat.“

“A little cold in there today (10/23) with both front and back doors open. Loved my boozy slushy.“
