Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Southeast Portland

Outstanding food in a very comfortable restaurant. We sat at the counter and chatted with one of the owner chefs. We loved doing that, and watched how all the food was being prepared and finished. It's pricey for Portland, but we felt that the level of the Mexican-inspired cooking was so high, it warranted the price. Certainly one of the best experiences we've had in restaurants in a long time. Highly recommended.

L’Orange was wonderful! It’s everything that the reviews say – – the food was sublime, the service was warm, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the entrées, and the ambience was delightful – – warm and cozy!  We were just passing through Portland, staying in the Airbnb across the street from the restaurant, and this was a find. We will definitely visit again! 💝

Another enjoyable meal at the Heathman Tavern. We have been several times now, and it has been consistently good. I had the steak frites and my friend had the salmon and arugula and both were delicious. Our server was delightful and the drinks were good. I still miss the old Heathman Restaurant, but the Tavern is a worthy, less expensive, and more casual successor.

C'est si Bon is a delightful small bistro with attentive, personalized service. Trust the wine recommendations. And, after several visits, I can say the cuisine keeps getting better and better. Order the Savoyard cheese puffs!

The restaurant was most accomodating of our group of 7. The food was delicious and the staff attentive. This was our 2nd time to visit and quality meal and sevice. Atmosphere is good and I liked their music choice too!
