Tapas Restaurants in Portland, OR

“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!“

“Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely people.“

“I really like the food here. I really like the winner winner chicken dinner entrée… I was thinking about getting it all day today. I got it to go after I got out of work and first I thought they forgot the sauce and I called them to see if I had forgotten to ask for it in my order. They told me it was in a small bag and I had totally missed it because it was so light. My bad😬 It’s so yummy but did the size go down by like half? Hope somebody just ordered the wrong size ramekins this time. Even the 2 pieces of chicken was a breast cut in half… maybe it’s always been like that? I mean, the salad is really delicious and there’s plenty of it but you know… I wish I got a little more protein and sauce😆 I guess I’ll just have to order an extra piece of chicken in a second side of sauce next time“

“Went here for Valentine’s Day, for the first time. Our waitress was Layla, and she was FANTASTIC. So bubbly and friendly and hospitable. She was truly wonderful, and we loved her service! The food was also amazing. We got the potatoes, calamari, and charcuterie. Food was top-notch and high-quality. Atmosphere was cute and homey. Just loved this spot and can’t wait to bring my friends!“

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

“Friendly service, hard working, excellent food, great wine pairings, thoughtfully curated menu (the pork belly was divine; the gouda/donut desert pairing was unexpectedly great), helpfully accommodating to gf needs however they were able, the space is beautifully built, warm with lovely acoustic treatment, really reasonable prices for the quality of food and service. We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary on out first time here. Thank you!“

“One of my favorite bars in Portland. Perfect date spot. Beautiful interior and back patio. Great lighting. Good cocktails, I love that they have mini mixed shots for like $7.

For how fresh and delicious most of their menu items are, I was surprised at the burger quality - I’m almost certain it was a frozen patty, which seems so unlike this spot. I could be wrong, it just didn’t taste like what the price point makes it seem you’re getting. That said, everything else I’ve eaten here is fantastic.“

“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.“

“Discovered this place by accident and it was such a happy surprise, it was quiet for a Thursday dinner so we got taken care of extra quick. The drink menu was plenty and the one I picked “phuket fantasy” had me at hello. Some of the best Tom yum soup i’ve had in a while and the entrees where generously portioned and the presentation was wonderful, tried two different items, the khao san basil rice with ground pork was delicious. Can’t wait to try different items on the menu,“

“This was the first visit, but there will be many, many more! We showed up and were told there’d be about a 10 min wait - which was fine! About 30 seconds later though, we had a seat and were looking at the menus! Service was excellent and kind. The food was so, so good! The portions were more than generous and the coffee was good! Can’t wait for our next visit!“

“This location was discovered through Resy and offered a remarkable experience right from the start. The customer service was impressive, and the food was particularly noteworthy for its excellent flavor. Additionally, the ambiance created a pleasant atmosphere, and our server (George) provided outstanding service throughout the visit.“

“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.“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“What a neat vibey spot! Ambience was so cool - great music, dim lighting, well packed spot! Came here for drinks on Friday night and their menu is great - a mix of classics and their own take on things. I shared some of their small plates and they were tasty. Overall though the ambience (and service) is definitely what you come here for + the drinks 😉“

“We were treated exceptionally well with great suggestions made for our order, half and half halal chicken 65 and paneer pesto pizza, the best samosas I’ve ever had, and the cheese bread with pineapple, jalapeño, add pepperoni. Everything tasted fresh and was made to order. The establishment seemed clean and well in order. The biggest highlight was the people working though. For their kindness and enthusiasm alone I’d very highly recommend.“

“a great night all around.“

“Russel makes a mean Manhattan!“

“The food was fantastic—really fresh and flavorful. We tried the trout, pork ribs, and duck breast, and honestly, every dish was unique and memorable in its own way. The trout was light and perfectly cooked, the pork ribs were tender and packed with flavor, and the duck breast was just incredible—rich, juicy, and perfectly seared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it feel like a really special night out. It’s cozy without feeling stuffy, perfect for a date night or a small celebration. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, from the plating to the flavors, and it all came together so well. If you’re looking for a spot that hits all the right notes—delicious food, great service, and a fun but intimate vibe“

“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.“

“Went here with a small group of friends over the holidays. The food was really good, lots of veggies dishes. We ordered a variety of dishes & all shared. One dish (risotto) was over salted and we did send it back and they confirmed that it had been over seasoned and removed it from our bill, which we really appreciated. Service was not quite what we hoped for at a fine dining restaurant where we spent $300 but it was fine. Very cool that they play real records. Portions are VERY generous. Loved the Brussels, Jerusalem artichokes, focaccia and other dishes I can’t remember! The tiramisu is pretty good! One of my friends is a huge vegan foodie and Sicilian and did not like the arancini but everyone else raves about it Updated from previous review on 2026-02-14“

“My husband and I have named this our favorite restaurant! We eat very vegetable forward, and there is no better place in Portland to find a diverse amount of simple, creative vegetable dishes that are quality ingredient forward. The seafood is also wonderful and so is the brunch. Everything is seasonal, and the menu changes daily with a few mainstays. The by-the-glass wine list is the most expansive you'll find in the city. On top of all this, the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and the service is just wonderful!!!! The prices are great, however our wallet hurts from eating here way too much. We'd probably just live here if we could.“

“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.“

“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.“

“First visit was good. Met the owner and his pinball tech who was working on the getting them fixed up. Good, small tap list, nice remodel job. Place looks nice and they have plans to continue adding more renovations, outdoor seating, and food trucks.“

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

“Our first visit . . instantly charmed. We wanted to have a pre event drink or two before our corporate dinner up the street and are we ever glad we did. Very nice atmosphere and service, great beer of course and a very inviting looking back patio area. Also, really enjoyed the hanging plants and skylight. We definately plan to come back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went for a late brunch and honestly everything slapped — the steak & eggs had this buttery richness without feeling heavy. Shared a couple of small plates and each one had some fun twist. Busy room, kinda loud, but the energy feels good rather than chaotic.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife and I dined on Valentine's Day. We had the braised lamb with house-made tortillas and guacamole, and the house burger. Both were delicious. For dessert, I had the house-made coffee ice cream. It is the best coffee ice cream I've had. We would definitely return.“

“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.“
