Best Authentic Restaurants in Northeast Portland

Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

This is a great restaurant. A group of 4 of us dined there last night. We each ordered something different and all four entrees were delicious. Our server, Mitch was fantastic as well. Lucca is a home run!

Service was impeccable, wait time for everything was low and my girlfriend and i really felt like the staff went out their way to make our Valentine’s Day dinner special. Drinks were absolutely stellar, the Jell-O shots are always worth it and a great way to start the night. I got a drink with seaweed and whiskey that I was a little apprehensive to try because it sounded weird but it was one of our favorite flavors of the night. The roti and blistered tomato curry are what dreams are made of, and the beef tartare is NOT to be missed! Gado Gado is one of the best spots in town and the rice table is so much you will keep thinking about it for a while.

I always leave Kachka feeling like my trip was worth it! Last night was no exception. The flavors are always exciting and unique, but there is still an overarching theme of the food being very comforting. I also cannot compliment their vodka selection enough. We got a vodka flight, and every shot was delicious and surprising. The staff were very friendly and attentive, adding to the charm. PS: If you can go during happy hour, I recommend their little combo plate w/ the cabbage roll and borscht! See my photo.

We had a really memorable dinner with our 12 year old daughter who loved the pizza. The menu variety offered something for everyone. The preparation of the gnocchi (2 large rather than the smaller finger-sized) was a neat and delicious twist and the skirt steak was cooked perfectly. Our server had spot-on wine recommendations that paired nicely with our meals. Excited for a return visit.
