Best Cafés in Southwest Portland

The empanadas are delicious! Good wines and great service.

We so enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner! The restaurant was fully decorated for Valentines Day, complete with candlelight and flowers at each table. Truly a sweet and romantic ambiance, and the food was, as always, over the top and down the block delicious!!

Charmed the moment we walked in. Enjoyed attentive service while enjoying the tastiest food. My guest is a true foodie and she was purring! Thank you—we’ll be back.

Food was exceptional. Service was prompt friendly and recommendations were spot on. We started with the mushrooms in cream sauce on toast and it was so flavorful. The fresh lemon to squeeze on top really made the flavors pop and come to life. I never would have thought to have fresh lemon with this. We ordered the scallops and red snapper entrees. Both items were fresh and full of flavor. We especially liked the red snapper seasoning. The fresh veggies were green beans with a yummy seasoned butter. Josh our server was great at offering a wine sample to help us choose which red wine was best for us. The chef, Olivia ended up helping us when we paid our tab and it was fun to chat with her and learn her history and experience. This long time family owned restaurant is worth taking the time to visit. We will definitely be back.

Alea Bakery and Cafe knocked it out of the park again with their latest pop-up! Can’t wait for the next one!!!
