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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“We shared an excellent date night here and was treated with warm, attentive service from our server and by a woman who was dressed to the hilt who came by on a couple of occasions to check in with us. The libations and food were phenomenal, especially the Guava Blossom and crab cakes! There was a musician playing indoors that we could hear, although we opted for outdoor seating in this cute alley strung with night lights. We’d be back in a heartbeat!“

“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.“

“Great thai restaurant. Not expensive and delicious. Only criticism is my wife asked for not spicy curry and it still had some spice. The dishes were fresh. The spices were great and authentic, and my favorite dish was the Thai fried rice. I will definitely come back here.“

“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.“

“I loved the place and food! Also the DJ playing vinyls.
The service is another thing, one of the bar tenders (black dude) cancelled my order because I went to the table to pick up my ID to show to him and he didn’t even care on taking my order again until another bar tender came to help me. It feels very shitty to being dismissed like this when you’re a paying customer.“

“a great night all around.“

“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.“

“Been coming for years when in Portland. Consistency is extremely difficult to achieve especially when you're working through lots of other people. But this team continues to pull it off year after year. If you really want to treat yourself and maybe someone else to a memorable meal, this is it.“

“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.“

“Russel makes a mean Manhattan!“

“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.“

“Great little food cart park and pub with a large, relaxed gravel backyard for both kicking back and for serious food cart dinners with beer and wine. Periodic music events.

The three food carts are:

Sundayz Catering (soul food): Wed-Sun, 11-8
Wanda's Thai: Sat-Mon, 12-9
Saucy Beast Burger Cart: Wed-Sat, Noon-9“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place, great food and awesome service !!
Cocktails were great and tasty !
Awesome service !
Bread with tomato butter is delicious. We loved it !
Pork chop was a little too fatty for me, and a bit too much butter for th steak.
Good selection of wine.

We recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is on the salty side, which overpowers other flavors in the dishes. There are some interesting menu items, though

Service is not very friendly, and is spotty. Feels like they don't want to be working there and everything we ask for is a nuisance

Love the street themed decor in the space“

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