Restaurants near Portland Saturday Market

First experience at LeChon. Girls group. We ordered the bone marrow - it was the first time for all of us to have bone marrow. It was fabulous. We also had the Peruvian chicken, brisket empanadas, fried olives and almonds. All was fantastic. I highly recommend the bone marrow. The wait staff were the best. Very attentive and helpful. Even the Chef took a picture of us outside when we left and asked us about our experience. Overall a wonderful experience. I highly recommend.

Jake's Famous Crawfish is one of our go-to restaurants in Portland. It's been there forever (actually, more than 100 years) and retains its old-world ambiance and service. Servers all wear short, white jackets and are schooled well, so even the younger ones thrive, and there are several true veterans. The food is prepared perfectly and arrives quickly. It's great for a special occasion or with a special friend. It tends to be busy on weekends, so make a reservation.

Nostrana is an (almost) hidden Portland treasure! The space and ambiance is warm yet epic, the entire staff seems to be operating on another level from other fine dining restaurants in Portland; they're engaged, friendly, warm, and yet professional and perfectionistic in the best possible ways. The food, all of it, was super-fresh and really special. Might have something to do with them having their own chef's garden right across the street. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

We came here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had a good table with a decent view of the city. Our first waitress wasn’t so kind but that didn’t bother us. We noticed a window seat open up and it had been about 30 mins so I asked the host if we could move and she said “ YES!”. After that the evening got even better. Our waitress was fun and so kind! The view was absolutely amazing and the Christmas parade ships were out! We had great food, great service and wonderful experience!

Al-Amir Lebanese food was outstanding, great value, and have a very friendly team of servers. We ordered "family style" and the owners (Mo and Lydia) took wonderful care of us. We really enjoyed the Baba Ghanoush, Lamb Shank off the bone, marinated Chicken, and the Hummus was smooth and tasty. Two couples spent the weekend in Portland visiting from Seattle and Al-Amir created a memorable dining experience for us. Highly recommended and probably the best value in downtown Portland.
