The Top 65 Restaurants Near Epilogue Kitchen And Cocktails









  1. Rank 9. kann

    Seasonal Caribbean





  2. Rank 13. Nodoguro

    Japanese

    Each dinner follows a literal script, with courses named Acts I through V and a menu built around a short story or novel that changes every six weeks. Nodoguro is an intimate Japanese omakase tucked into a downtown building, where the chef composes each plate in front of you at the bar. Ryan Roadhouse sources his rice from Hokkaido, and the whole thing moves with the quiet precision of someone who has thought very hard about the order of things.


  3. Sommelier Brent Braun runs the cellar here, with a wine list heavy on Riesling, Oregon producers, and natural bottles, plus small-batch collaborations with local winemakers usually poured by the glass. The kitchen leans seasonal and vegetable-forward, the kind of room where the food earns its place alongside the wine rather than playing second fiddle. A James Beard Semifinalist for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program, this chic Hawthorne wine restaurant draws the crowd that actually reads the back label.



  4. Rank 16. Magna Kusina

    Modern Filipino



  5. Rank 18. Kachka

    Soviet Eastern European

    The dining room is built to look like a Soviet dacha, complete with turquoise shutters and diagonal wood paneling modeled on the owner's great-grandparents' cottage. Kachka is a full-service Eastern European restaurant where the menu runs from happy-hour zakuski and herring salads to Siberian pelmeni and rabbit braised in a clay pot. Horseradish-infused vodka from the team's own distillery handles the rest. The New York Times named it among Portland's best.





  6. Rank 22. L'Orange

    Pacific Northwestern French





  7. Rank 26. Higgins

    Farm-to-table New American

    Portland's original farm-to-table restaurant has been around forever, and after a near-death experience a couple of years ago, a social media S.O.S. brought the regulars flooding back. The dining room is a proper sit-down affair, seasonal and ingredient-driven, with a rustic bistro in back that runs a serious burger and one of the better beer lists downtown. A block from the Arlene Schnitzer, it's the obvious pre-concert answer.













  8. Rank 38. Merendero Estela

    Honduran Caribbean


  9. Rank 39. Bun Bo Hue Restaurant

    Vietnamese Noodles
























  10. Rank 62. Comedor Lilia

    Pacific Northwestern Mexican
