This is a local funky favorite. We love the Brian's bowl, either al pastor, fish, or of course carnitas. They also have great vegetarian options. Be prepared for a line or get there early!

This is a local fave on SE 28th. Probably best to bike there vs. walk, or just drive. All locally sourced ingredients. Really unique small plate menu. Pro tip - they usually have breakfast too and nobody's there. They have another restaurant too that does Italian on Burnside too.

Very good service, very decadent and large portioned French themed brunches. Pro-tip, if you don't want to go all in on a giant omelet, they sell amazingly large and perfectly made Croissants and they make these egg sandwiches with them for only 6 or so bucks.

Everyone goes to Salt and Straw. This one is walkable and it has a giant sign on the window that says NOT ICECREAM. I think they mean it's better, richer and creamier than icecream, which is not to be argued with. Just a small scoop and you'll be in heaven. They also have signature flavors that are very unique, all inspired by Italy, it sems.

You might as well be in San Francisco at the original Boulangerie before it was bought out by Starbucks, or in Paris. It's got delicate French pastries. Don't expect to get a big brunch there but it's top quality and worth the experience.

This neighborhood starts at your homebase and then walk or bike east and hit the small cute Clinton strip that reminds one of Amsterdam. It's completely bike friendly and lots of young hipsters hanging out. Very friendly vibe, plus you can drop in Clinton Street Records and see some great collectibles with a specialization in disco and electronic funk.

One of the most famous retail joints in Portland, and when all other book stores are going out of business, the city and all our tourists continue to support Powell's. There's also one on Hawthorne near the house, but this one is worth the trip. Grab an e-bike and head over there.
