Tapas Restaurants in Portland, OR

“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.“

“food was so very good. and the whiskey sour was lovely.“

“I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!“

“Loved our dinner on the patio, the fried cauliflower, broccoli soup and fig and bacon pizza were delicious plus the drinks and dessert! The scissors to cut the pizza were a delightful bonus, I think I need a pair in my life now😄 Seriously, go try Firehouse.“

“Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely people.“

“Delicious & immaculately presented, robust drink menu and Tapas done right 😋“

“This tapas restaurant is a true gem! The paella is outstanding--perfectly cooked with a deep saffron flavor and a generous mix of fresh ingredients. The seared ahi tuna was light and flavorful, and the gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) were spot on--juicy, garlicky, and full of flavor. The crab cakes were also very good, though they definitely pack some heat, so spice lovers will be especially happy. The ambiance is just as memorable as the food. The space is decorated in Spanish style, with warm wood accents, rustic details, and elegant chandeliers that give the dining room a cozy yet refined glow. Beautiful paintings and décor touches add an old-world charm that makes the whole place feel inviting and authentic. Service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and welcoming without being overbearing. It's clear the staff takes pride in creating a great dining experience.“

“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.“

“This was a really nice spot. It had a really good layout, a big bay door entry, clean, and a beautiful view of the walking bridge. The service was quick and prompt, and their plating was phenomenal. (FLOWERS ON MY PLATE, AND DRINK?! YESSSSS) The food wasn't as spicy as I was hoping. But they brought over spices to bring it up to my insane level of spice. Not enough spice is a me problem, not them. I will be coming back!“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING! 2nd time coming and truly a vibe. Both time staff has been wonderful! Remi and Jasmine were such great time and so knowledgeable as well. Didn’t get to try the food yet, so we definitely will be back for that🤍“

“Just, do it. Come here. The vinyl nights are quite incredible, really. Think Studio Gibli, 70's nightclub, sexy in a Sadé way. Finally the music is more demanding in it's cadence, in its decibel count, than the loud portland patrons next to you. You want to whisper into someone's ear. The vibe is very peanut butter, very amber glassware, very two-people-in-a-five-person-booth. Bartenders are masters of their craft, so ask them to lead you into an experience and prepare to be pleasently surprised. Always been a favorite, and continues to be. (I'm actually from Portland. Born and raised. Trust me.)“

“Awesome food and a great atmosphere“

“Sunrice is inside of Roxy hotel. Pleasant ambiance of the lobby tucked behind the hotel front desk for hotel guests and food court eaters.

Excellent Philippine food. Reasonable prices. The cook and helper Kent and Jason were very nice and greeted everyone with friendly smile.“

“The perfect place for a date night filled with fun and Spanish tapas. We loved the sangria, the Roasted Romanesco cauliflower, and the Steak Banderilla. Our server was wonderful, we’ll definitely be back.“

“We are so impressed with this restaurant, it’ll be our new Thursday night date night spot!
We enjoyed the ambiance greatly, were delighted by all 8 dishes we got, and loved the service.
My husband ordered the Old Fashioned Cocktail and the Bar Manager came out to introduce himself and tell us more about what makes it so special. He actually works with a local distillery to create the drink and bottle it. It was so good we ordered 2 and then went to the store down the street to buy our own bottle!

The small plates are incredible, and from 5-6 each night you can get a little 2-person sampler of all of them for only $38! Best deal in town! And then if you’re hungry, the steak was cooked PERFECTLY.

We couldn’t decide on a dessert so we ordered both!! Glad we did.“

“Everything it has a cozy feeling. I love the decor. Also our waiter was very nice and friendly. I don’t live in Portland, but when I visit again I will definitely come back. My dinner was delicious. My daughter who lives in Portland suggested this restaurant.“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“First time walking through rather than past the door of R&R tonight, and what an absolute treat! Small, but well formed bar with a great drinks menu, and super friendly staff. Will check out the food next time (there will most definitely be a next time). The resident(?)/guest(?) DJ was on fire, and we could have so easily spent the rest of our evening enjoying the whole R&R vibe, had we not had dinner plans. A real NW treasure, and the new #1 in our local bar hit list.“

“My partner and I had one of the best impromptu dinners in Portland ever. I’m sorta confused by the rating on google maps. This place is truly a gem. I love the idea of sharing and having small plates so that you can try a bunch of different dishes. The star of our meal was the braised lamb. I also really enjoyed the potato onion gratin and the bread, butter, and fruity olive oil. The dark chocolate mousse was so heavenly, delicious, and so light and fluffy - it took the guilt out of us ordering dessert. Not that anyone should feel guilty having a sweet treat. Highly recommend if you want a bit of a fancier dinner in Kearns.“

“Absolutely love getting Thai food here. Staff is always friendly. The food is quick and hot and their Thai iced tea is fantastic.“

“Delicious wine and tapas and specials. They serve sangria too. One of our favorite spots in Portland. Definitely check out this place if you haven’t because you won’t be disappointed.“

“Russel makes a mean Manhattan!“

“Awesome experience (only because of the bartender). Em, the bartender was fantastic. She was so kind and knowledgeable of the drink and food menu. She was also so good that she got us bar patrons to speak to each other as well. I love the atmosphere she created. Shes a grade A employee and I hope you pay her what she deserves! Her personality and love of her job shows so much. I only had one drink and was so impressed with Em. Give that lady a raise and hold on to her!“

“I got airsickness post a long flight, so sick even water was hard for me for a while. This place's Phó Ga (chicken) is literally medicine for the soul, stomach and tastebuds. I cannot recommend them highly enough! p.s. uber eats does 50% off deals sometimes and you can get 2 "orders" (almost 4 meals worth) of phó delivered for under $40 including tip if youre on the vicinity and the quality is unparalleled to places I've been to in NY.“

“The burger here was unreal, cooked perfectly with melty cheese and crispy edges. We also split an order of Korean fried chicken, which was spicy and addictive. The restaurant had a casual vibe but felt polished at the same time. Service was quick even though the place was packed.“

“Fantastic chicken, possibly the best grilled chicken i’ve had. Extremely juicy and flavorful. Potatoes went very well with the sauces, you can choose two with the familia combo i got, but each additional sauce is 1$ each. Salad was a little bitter, but still went well with the meal. Definitely will come back here!!“

“First time in Portland and the Hyatt House was an excellent choice of hotel for me.The location by the River was relaxing, as well as, the well maintained pool. Very friendly and helpful staff, this hotel has it all, a nice hot breakfast, a Bar, a pool and is in a great location. Would stay again!“

“Love all the warm faces and delicious brunch and lunch items. GF and Vegan diets always considered. Craft cocktails in the heart of Montavilla❤️“

“a great night all around.“

“We had an outstanding bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot noir at the recommendation of the wine expert which complimented our shared appetizer of scallop ceviche and entree of summer squash and mushrooms. We found everything healthy and very tasty with interesting flavors. We will definitely be back!“

“Tall booths and a cozy, dimly lit atmosphere make this spot perfect, especially on a rainy Portland day. The service is great, too. Unfortunately, McMenamins' food quality has declined while prices have risen. I’ll stick to happy hour cider and tots—everything else just isn’t worth it.“

“This is a snazzy bar, located right off the lobby of the Aloft! The colorful LED lighting and pulsing music make it seem like a fun place to grab a drink, and maybe strike up a conversation with folks passing through Portland. Although we are locals who live quite close by, I could see my wife and I coming here to grab a cocktail some evening when the neighborhood dive bars are just not cutting it for us, and we're not feeling up to heading into downtown. Gonna have to come back and check it out sometime soon, but as far as ambiance goes, it looks like a winner!“

“Food is consistently delicious. Highly recommended. But also want to share that they went above and beyond when we had an issue with Door Dash. Though the lost delivery was 100% not their fault, they still remade the food and made sure it got to my door. This very high level of service is commendable! I am a customer for life now. Thank you Khao San.“

“The food here is bangin'. The smoked highball slaps. The service is stellar, without the pretension of a Michelin star but with the really amazing food you would expect from one. Try the ribeye or the lamb and polenta. You're welcome.“

“The poutine was just OK. They need to add pocked 9 ions and pickled jalapenos as standard and allow you to take them off if you don't like them. Also, the best poutine I have had has braised beef or pulled pork or some sort of meat to balance all the flavors.

The beer was very good. I tried their reserve stuff and their bourbon barrel aged beer and they were pretty good - all of them.“
