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.“

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

“Have been a regular take out order customer for years here and they never miss. Everything is excellent.

But what prompted me to finally review was the excellent service provided by team two days ago, as I had forgotten to push confirm and had arrived for my order with a tired infant. The woman working helped get my order out faster than I could imagine. Thanks for the great food and saving our evening, I look forward to my next dinner there already.“

“My daughter and I went to Adelleda for brunch on Sunday and it was fabulous. Each item on the menu was so enticing we had a hard time choosing. The Honus Wagner, chicken and waffle style fried oyster mushrooms over waffles with truffle syrup, was incredible. Ultra crispy mushrooms paired so well with the syrup and waffles. The Bobby Bonilla beet pastrami sandwich was a many layered flavor bomb. Such a great play of textures and spices. And Mr. 350 was the best version of chilaquiles I have ever had. Better than any in Tucson. We got to sample brioche straight from the oven and are still dreaming about it. Slathered in house made vegan butter and, no shame, dunked in that truffle syrup. There Will Be Blood was a mighty fine Bloody Mary but the Pina Caliente blew my cocktail loving mind. Smokey from the mezcal, spicy and smooth as pineapple silk. Huge kudos to the mixologist!!! The atmosphere was lovely and chill and the service made us feel special. A real gem!!!!“

“Great atmosphere and top-notch drinks!
Had a wonderful time at Bellwether Bar. The vibe is cozy yet stylish, the cocktails are expertly crafted, and the staff is super friendly. Perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends. Highly recommend!“

“I live in the Roseway Neighborhood, I have lived here for 14 years, and have loved every year. This Year, I am excited as many new dining options have appeared, and they are good. Parallel Food and Drink, is one of the best. I have been 4 times now, and am already looking forward to my next visit. The team is amazing, the wine is amazing, the food is amazing, and did I say the team is amazing? Run, don't walk, you won't regret a moment spent here.“

“We had an AMAZING meal at Irving Street Tapas. My brother, his girlfriend, and I were on vacation in Oregon, and we wanted a nice meal on our last night before flying out of Portland. We happened upon Irving Street and I am SO glad we decided to go inside! The food was absolutely delicious (I’ve been home for weeks and I’m still thinking about it….).

We had a vegetarian in our group, which is part of why we chose this restaurant. We ordered primarily from the vegetarian/vegan menu, and there were so many great options. Our cocktails were also fantastic, as was the ambiance. There was a great live musician who even came to our table and played us a song (beautifully!).

The prices were very reasonable as well, especially for the quality. We had 4 small plates, 1 larger dish, 3 cocktails, a bottle of wine, and dessert — all together, INCLUDING a 25% tip, our bill was just about $200. Coming from the east coast, I was shocked at the value and quality for such a reasonable price.

Finally, I want to spotlight our server. The service was excellent overall, but our waitress really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dinner. Layla, we appreciate you!!!“

“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 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.“

“I honestly wish I could give this place 1000 stars because they actually listened. I asked for half noodles, extra protein, light oil, and extra vegetables and they delivered it exactly how I wanted. Not “kind of,” not “close enough”… but perfect. You can tell they care about their customers and pay attention to details, which is rare these days.

The dish was flavorful without being heavy, fresh, and balanced in a way that made me feel good after eating!
That level of respect and execution? Yeah… that’s what keeps people coming back.

Super impressed. Definitely one of those spots where you feel taken care of. I’ll be back, no question!

And thanks to the workers here because they’re super sweet and very attentive I came here by myself and didn’t feel like I came here by myself.“

“The food is amazing. service was great, I ordered a small hawaiin pizza that wasnt long to wait for, and mango habenero wings and they informed me it would be a wait, and I had no problems. Visiting portland for work/school, and atmosphere was welcoming.“

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

“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.“

“a great night all around.“

“Russel makes a mean Manhattan!“

“Didn't try the food, but the drinks were great! My wife had a Cosmopolitan, and I had the Tea Time N/A drink. Both were delicious! Cool atmosphere, with hundreds of vinyl records on the wall, live jazz, and a fireplace roaring on the patio. I'll be back!“

“I am so sad the my past self who kept forgetting to stop at the place with the orange banner! Now, Nom Nom is always at the top of my comfort food list for NW PDX. The Fish sauce caramel wings are my favorite!! Such interesting flavors and so satisfying. Servers, bartenders and any staff I've ever encountered give the best genuine customer service. If you don't know what to try definitely come with a friend, as I usually do, to get a taste of everything.“

“Perfect evening. Host was very accommodating given my mom uses a walker and finding parking spot I can safely get her out of the car is difficult, so we arrived late. They have an elevator— that was a relief. We were placed in a cozy booth. Raphael was our server. He was PERFECTION and made our evening so special. His charm and attentiveness were equally matched by the incredible dishes. The deserts? Also very delicious! I'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“Just a fantastic spot. Great little beer and wine (and sake!) bar with food carts in back. Has live music and events too. An arcade in the back has some vintage games and a really good selection of pinball machines as well. The people who run the place are lovely and its been great to have such an amazing outdoor space in the neighborhood now that summer is here. The bar itself has some charcuterie plates and snacks and the three food carts in back are all really good and provide some great variety if you're hungry. Very family friendly too.“

“A treasure tucked away in a residential area in East Portland.

All dishes (and everything tasty) can be ordered in either a small personal portion or a sharable size, which makes the dining experience so much more fun.

A wide selection of wine, mostly French but also including some German and others, is also a huge plus, and everything is reasonably priced.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The Bistro Alder is the restaurant inside the Dosier Hotel and it serves delicious food and drinks. We only dined here and did not stay at the hotel. The restaurant was empty when we arrived around 9pm and were promptly greeted by a wonderful hostess who took our drink and meal orders right away since we already knew we wanted the Portland Restaurant Month meals. The food came out quickly as we were the only ones there initially. As time went on a couple small groups of 2-3 arrived and even then the hostess managed to hold down the fort to include waiting, serving, bar tending, and bussing. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and would certainly come back to enjoy a meal or a couple of drinks.“

“It looks like a pub but it’s an upscale restaurant. I ordered their baby ribs and fries (half portion) - which was still too much for one person (suggestion: go with two! ) Delicious food, attentive and friendly staff and good choice of drinks.“

“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.“

“So many naturally gluten free items on the menu! This place is legit. The atmosphere looks like a thai street food market and they have a garage door that opens providing such a fun indoor outdoor experience.

Everything we ordered was delivered hot and fresh, gluten free, and filled with so much flavor! We got the chicken wings to start which were crispy, sweet and savory.
For the entrée, we shared the panang curry and chicken pad thai. The curry was delicious and had a lovely balance of heat and sweet while the pad thai provided that lovely tamarind and peanut flavor we all know and love from such a classic dish. Everything arrived at the table piping hot, you can see the steam in the video i posted.

I know this place has been around awhile but im so glad to have stumbled across them now. My new go to thai place for sure!“

“Highly recommend the steak + brisket pho and salad wraps! So yummy 🤤“
