Portland Oregon food and drink options are gloriously varied and delicious. Buck and I had a blast visiting Portland in the spring of 2025, exploring, eating and experiencing a gorgeous spring! The last time we had visited Portland was during the 2017 Christmas holiday and that visit let us know we wanted to return to explore some more. Similar to our last Portland visit, most of our 2025 Portland time was spent doing a housesit, that we found through TrustedHouseSitters.org. Being in someone’s home with fun, furry companions, just made the whole trip nicer.
We want to share some of our favorite eating and drinking spots! Specifically, here are some Portland, Oregon food and drink places located in three areas that revisited frequently. The majority are within a 40 minute walking distance of one another, with nice suburbs to walk through to get to your destination. [ Clicking on one of the following three area names will take you to a description of some of our favorite places. ]
NE Fremont Street
Sandy Boulevard
NE Alberta Street
And here’s a very small glimpse of the glorious Spring we experienced, and a couple pieces of street art/funnies we found.
