The Kitchen Paper

Where to Eat in Portland, Oregon

“Where should I eat in Portland?” is a question I get asked all the time. Rather than saving a list in my Notes app, and texting it to anyone who asks, I figured I should just write it down and direct people here. So, welcome! This page is very much in progress, and I have every intention of updating it every few months as new restaurants open and close. The food scene here in Portland is constantly evolving, and there is way too much to keep track of, so this is by no means a comprehensive Portland food guide.

If you want more inspiration, I’ve linked to some of my favorite Portland food instagram accounts at the bottom of this page — they’re all great accounts to follow for up-to-date restaurant information, giveaways, and recommendations.
