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.
