Where to eat in Portland, OR?

Headed to Portland in a couple weeks for work. Where are some places to eat in and around downtown? I'm open to going outside the city as I will have a rental. Open to pretty much anything and will be there for 4 days.

there's a haunted pizzaria there that's pretty good. Most of the food was good, but just average. The beer and the Voodoo donuts are what you go to Portland for. Those two things will make everything taste better.

Last time I was there, I ate at Portland City Grill and Portland Prime.
This is the view from PCG:
This is Portland Prime:
I enjoyed both restaurants and plan to return to each one next month.

I went about a month ago. We ate at Little Bird one night and Beast the next day for brunch before heading out to wine country. Both were very good. Beast has a fixed menu with no substitutions - everyone sits and eats at the same time...it was a good experience though.

Just got the Le Pigeon cookbook. Id eat there and/or Little Bird just based on the book alone. Beast as well. Also, swing by Ken's Artisan bakery, he is a really cool guy and a hell of a baker.

You headed to the GRC by chance? I'm anxiously awaiting vendor dinners there myself.

those are all different breweries

Ok, now what are the good beers from each brewery. I doubt she is gonna bring me back EVERYTHING. Her checked baggage would definitely weigh more than $50 lbs.

When I was there a couple years ago:
Best dinners, Le Pigeon and Beast.
Brunch/lunch, Tasty & Sons and Bunk Sandwiches.

No, going for another conference.
Thanks for the suggestions. Anyone ever eat at Shut Up and Eat? Heard it's some of the best sandwiches.

The Farm Cafe on the east side of Burnside bridge. It's a nice, easy walk from Downtown. A laid back, casual local farm to table place.

Le Pigeon and Farmhouse Cafe are right next door to each other. Right across the street is Burnside Brewery, which also has solid food and beer.
Lincoln - very good.
Produce Row - reasonably priced with a good tap menu
Beast is great.
Portland City Grill has the best views of the city and Mt. Hood.
Pok Pok - Thai. Legendary chicken wings
Pine State Biscuits - if you want to eat like arseinclarse for breakfast or lunch.
Ken's Artisan Bakery is world class pizza.
Honestly, you can drive along N. Williams or Mississippi Ave and find something interesting to stop at. Lot's of interesting restaurants and stores.
For lunch - Food trucks. Tons of them around Portland. You can get on-line reviews, but I mainly just look for the lines. The good ones have longer lines. Not scientific, but....
Lardo - good sandwiches.
Breweries - have good food and beer. Deschutes, Cascade, Hair of the Dog, Hopworks Urban Brewery, Ecliptic, Lucky Lab, Brigeport, Laurelwood, etc...
McMenamins - they restore historical properties and make brewpubs out of them. They have restored old hotels, churches, theatres, barns, houses, and schools. They are all over the place. Cool atmosphere with good food and beer, reasonably priced. Don't go at lunch, as service is usually not fast.
Salt and Straw - Ice cream. Really, really good ice cream.
Voodoo is OK. Mostly a cool experience and people watching. The best donuts are at Blue Star - they are expensive, it's quality over quantity.
Lincoln - very good.

There are lots of good restaurants in Portland. They are big on sustainability...
Is that chicken local?
And don't leave your dog tied up outside a restaurant.
Who's dog is that?
And be careful in the vegan restaurants.

My wife and I just went to Oregon to visit the coast and wine country. We spent one night in Portland and ate lunch at Lardo's before heading to the coast, I thought it was great.
I had a pork belly gyro that was excellent, and my wife got a Pho'rench Dip (instead of au jus to dip in, it used Pho broth) that she said ws awesome, but the best thing may have been the fries that had scraps of pork, various peppers, and cheese

There were so many food trucks that looked good in that block where they all are; I wish we had had time before cat5ching our return flight to try them out.

If you're like me, you saw this and HAD to have it...
I've heard more than one person say that the burger there is as good as it gets. They don't have a huge menu, but everything I've had there was awesome.
I've heard their barbequed bologna sandwich is awesome.
They have a pretty decent tap list for a converted food truck...

You must have been at the food truck pod on Alder. That's only a fraction of all of the food trucks in the city, but that's the biggest one, with over 60 food trucks in one location.

Yep, I asked the guy behind the counter what was good. It was the first thing he mentioned, and I said, "Say no more, I'll have that".
I thought Portland was a really cool city, and if we could go back and do the trip again we would stay another day or two there instead of spending most of our time in wine country and the coast.
