Portland's Best Outdoor Dining

Eat Outside: P-Town Picnic

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:00 -0700

Council Crest

At the top of SW Council Crest Drive or Marquam trailhead on SW Terwilliger Boulevard
Sometimes, you want to feel like you earned that ham-and-brie sandwich. A three-mile hike up the Marquam Trail means climbing more than 1,000 feet to the West Side’s iconic promontory and its clear-day visual buffet of snowcapped Cascades peaks. Please, feel justified in packing that second pie slice. You’ll burn it off on the descent.

Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

SE 28th Avenue & Woodstock Boulevard
Not that these nine-plus acres of floral glory in deep Southeast aren’t worth the $3 admission charge, but … pack in dinner after 6 p.m., when entry is free. The tranquil ponds and lush landscaping evoke Japan; the occasional beaver sighting is all Oregon.

Peninsula Park

700 N Rosa Parks Way
Dining among roses is a simple act of Portland patriotism; following the crowd is not. So leave overtrafficked Washington Park to the masses and spread a blanket among the 65 varieties abloom in North Portland’s elegant formal garden. With a New Seasons six blocks west, stocking the basket shouldn’t be a problem.

Skidmore Bluffs

At the west end of N Skidmore Court
This semi-renegade parkland mere blocks from popular sunset-peeping spot Overlook Park attracts throngs of youthful bohemians with its rustic atmosphere and staggering views. Bring your own ineffable cool; stop at nearby Mississippi Avenue’s Pastaworks for anything edible you might require.

House for Summer, Hoyt Arboretum

4000 SW Fairview Blvd
Far away from the busy parts of Washington Park is a fitting place for a pagan ritual, a make-out session, or just a great picnic: artist Helen Lessick’s public artwork House for Summer. Planted in 1987, it comprises 15 Himilayan birch trees trained into the shape of a house. Bring a stick to chase away the gnomes.

Eat Outside: Rooftop Respites

Drinking in the sun at Departure.

DEPARTURE

$$ 130 H

525 SW Morrison St; 503-802-5370;

departureportland.com

If Pioneer Courthouse Square is Portland’s living room, Departure, at 15 stories high, is its exquisitely positioned penthouse. Sleek, intimate tables, couches, and a see-through railing frame an awe-inspiring view of the city. But don’t let the LA-chic scene fool you. Chef Gregory Gourdet’s Asian fusion cuisine is surprisingly unpretentious: from the pork belly (with pickled cherries and ginger) to wok-fired golden curry. With most dishes under $15, this could become your home away from home.

RADIO ROOM

$$ 80 H ^

1101 NE Alberta St; 503-287-2346;

radioroompdx.com

Not only is the young crowd at this hipster hideout a good-looking bunch, but the view over artsy Alberta Street also guarantees some outlandish visual stimuli. Get there early to stake out your people-watching perch on the small rooftop or post up around the fire pit in the courtyard below. When it’s hot, cool down with something from the noir-themed cocktail menu before moving on to the meat-heavy main dishes.

NOBLE ROT WINE BAR

$$$ 17

1111 E Burnside St, Fourth Floor; 503-233-1999;

noblerotpdx.com

Don’t spend another date night crammed into a “romantic” cubbyhole with candlelight singing your eyebrows. Noble Rot’s spectacular fourth-floor patio (OK, so technically not rooftop, but it is roofless) pairs innovative local cuisine and a thoughtful wine list with a breathtaking view of the downtown skyline—a trifecta that’s guaranteed to add a little amour to your evening.

ON DECK SPORTS BAR

$ 136 H ^

910 NW 14th Ave; 503-227-7020;

ondecksportsbar.com

Despite the, erm, frat-tastic population this Pearl District hot spot attracts, On Deck’s bright, sprawling deck—the largest rooftop in Portland—is enough to keep you coming back. The food selection spans the narrow culinary spectrum between sliders and burgers, but they’re executed well and the drinks are all refreshing. Plus, with 26 televisions inside, you’ll never have to wonder about the latest soccer scores.

LAURELWOOD PUBLIC HOUSE & BREWERY

$$ 42

5115 NE Sandy Blvd; 503-282-0622;

laurelwoodbrewpub.com

Even stalwart Laurelwood fans can miss this hidden gem. Climb the stairs from the back parking lot to the rooftop, where cognoscenti enjoy a full bar, umbrellas, and the same selection of great beers and comfort food as downstairs. There are no views to speak of from up here, but when you’re staring down the business end of a pint of Workhorse IPA with sunlight on your face, who cares? —MP

Eat Outside: On the Water

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:00 -0700

THE OSWEGO LAKE HOUSE

$$$ 300 H

40 N Lake St, Lake Oswego; 503-636-4561
oswegolakehouse.com
Typically the only way to play in Lake Oswego’s water is to pony up for one of the massive homes along its shores. But it’ll only cost you a drink to enjoy the ripple-filled view from the Lake House’s expansive shoreline patio.

AQUARIVA

$$$ 40 H ^

0470 SW Hamilton Ct; 503-802-5850

aquarivaportland.com
Planted on the western banks of the Willamette River, where it gently curls around Ross Island, Aquariva’s two patios give a quiet, calm perspective on our iconic waterway. And the rich veal and pork meatballs provide a delicious perspective on meat.

SALTY’S ON THE COLUMBIA

$$$ 100 H

3839 NE Marine Dr; 503-288-4444

saltys.com/portland

A visit to this classic Columbia River steak and seafood house is practically a Portland rite of passage. Stake out a spot on the wraparound deck as the sun slips below the West Hills and raise a glass of Oregon pinot (there are more than 50 on the wine list) to the passing boats and barges.

ISLAND CAFÉ

$ 100 H ^

250 NE Tomahawk Island Dr; 503-283-0362

islandcafepdx.com

If you can fry it, you’ll find it on this Columbia River restaurant’s menu. But you’ll also discover an experience that can’t be had anywhere else on the Columbia: tables that gently bob along with the current on a floating tiki-themed dock. —KC

Eat Outside: Ale Alfresco

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:00 -0700

{% display:image for:article image:1 align:center width:570 %}

AMNESIA BREWING

$ 100 H ^

832 N Beech St; 503-281-7708
The backyard barbecue lives large at this North Portland brewery, where hop-erific beers like the Copacetic IPA flow from eight taps and sausages sizzle underneath the tented front patio. Ah, the smell of endless summer.

APEX

$ 180

1216 SE Division St; 503-273-9227
apexbar.com

With 50 different kegs of micros and imports cluttering up the back (not to mention more than 100 bottles), this beer lover’s paradise doesn’t have room for a kitchen of its own. So park your shorts in the big beer garden out front and order up some cilantro-heavy fare from Los Gorditos taco truck parked next door. Did we mention they have 50 beers on tap?

CASCADE BREWING BARREL HOUSE

$ 80

939 SE Belmont St; 503-265-8603

cascadebrewingbarrelhouse.com

If the sour beers seem too avant-garde for you, Cascade’s minimalist roll-top garage space, which spills out onto Belmont in the summer, will still feel quite comfortable. And with 16 rotating taps inside, Cascade’s cozy patch of umbrellas and green picnic tables provides a snug place to expand your beer horizons—or stick to your favorite styles.

MIGRATION BREWING

$ 50 ^

2828 NE Glisan St; 503-206-5221

migrationbrewing.com
Hidden in plain sight on NE Glisan, Migration is an underrated gem in the microbrew scene. And that’s good news for you: play hooky from work on a hot day and your boss is unlikely to find you on the sidewalk patio enjoying an outstanding MPA (Migration Pale Ale).—Martin Patail

Eat Outside: Up in Flames

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:00 -0700

Image: Neil DeCosta

Settling in around Nel Centro’s fire pit.

NEL CENTRO

$$ 60 ^

1408 SW Sixth Ave; 503-484-1099;
nelcentro.com
Take a vacation from your regular post-work watering hole at this bar and restaurant in downtown’s Hotel Modera. Between the living wall—a grid of plants growing amid concrete panels—excellent happy hour dishes (a wood-fired Italian sausage, caramelized onion, and fennel pollen pizza for $7, for example), and an evening-extending black marble fire pit filled with flaming stones, your “vacation” might just turn into a full-fledged sabbatical.

KENNEDY SCHOOL

$ 48 H

5736 NE 33rd Ave; 503-249-3983;
mcmenamins.com
Perhaps more famous for its water feature (the 36-foot-long outdoor soaking tub), the Kennedy School’s signature mosaic fireplace, in the inner courtyard, sometimes get overlooked. Which is just fine with us, since it means a little extra rump-warming room on the fireplace’s wraparound brick bench.

CASA NARANJA

$ 50 H

4205 N Mississippi Ave; 503-459-4049;
casanaranjapdx.com
Catch summer on a string at this “orange house,” where hammocks, swinging seats, and a tapas menu with treats like garlic and sherry-soaked green beans and smoked wild boar ribs create an actual movable feast. Should you miss out on one of the seats surrounding the sandstone fire pit in the corner, the dozens of dangling tiki torches can light up your night, too.

A ROADSIDE ATTRACTION

$ 60 ^

1000 SE 12th Ave; 503-233-0743
Hidden behind a weatherworn wooden fence, the entrance to this funky bar and restaurant is easy to miss. The smell, however, is not: the scent of campfire emanating from Roadside’s courtyard wraps the entire block (and you) in a cloak of smoky goodness so thick that, after a pint of micro and a smoked-sausage baguette, you’ll leave with a musky souvenir of your own.

DEL INTI

$$ 56 H ^

2315 NE Alberta St; 503-288-8191;
delinti.com
If spicy Peruvian fare like picante de pulpo (octopus stew) or rocoto relleno (peppers stuffed with pork adobo) doesn’t heat up your evening, Del Inti’s front-patio fire pit certainly will. Nuzzled up against Alberta Street, the patio’s cushion-covered wooden benches offer a well-padded perch for staring into the flames—or out at the equally mesmerizing street scene. —KC

Eat Outside: Sunny Side Up

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:00 -0700

Brunch at Veritable Quandary: a 40-year-old tradition

SCREEN DOOR

$ 25 ^

2337 E Burnside St; 503-542-0880;
screendoorrestaurant.com
Screen Door has been dishing out a fresh, belt-busting Southern brunch anchored by a towering plate of fried chicken and waffles for five years. But with the recent expansion of the side patio—a covered cluster of picnic tables bordered by climbing plants and maples—the wait to dig in got a little bit shorter.

IRVING STREET KITCHEN

$$ 40 H ^

701 NW 13th Ave; 503-343-9440;
irvingstreetkitchen.com
Within its capacious, farmhouse-chic space,
Irving Street Kitchen offers a varied collection of eating environs, from the the curtained booths to the hickory bar. But on weekend mornings, you’ll want a seat at one of the chunky redwood tables among the potted plants and wagon-wheel benches on the loading dock, watching the city wake up as you dive into poached eggs and lobster scrambles.

WILD ABANDON

$ 60

2411 SE Belmont St; 503-232-4458;
wildabandonrestaurant.com
Never Land comes to Southeast via Wild Abandon. A walk through the dimly lit dining room delivers you to a spacious, sun-drenched back patio, where a towering, Peter Pan–worthy cyprus tree grows right through the concrete. Chatter from neighborhood families provides the soundtrack in this often-lineless hidden spot, while eggs Benedict and pitch-perfect Bloody Marys provide very good reasons to grow up.

VERITABLE QUANDARY

$$ 55 H

1220 SW First Ave; 503-227-7342;
veritablequandary.com
In 1971, when “outdoor dining” in Portland usually meant PB&J at Keller Fountain, VQ began serving brunch on a patio that put the rickety sidewalk tables of other restaurants to shame. The riverside space is still as alluring as it was then, especially for brunch, when the stone tables, wrought-iron fencing, rosebushes, and blackened catfish with poached egg combine to give your grumbling belly a memorable answer to its hunger pangs.

MUDDY’S COFFEEHOUSE

$ 40 ^

3560 N Mississippi Ave; 503-445-6690;
muddyscoffeehouse.com
It’s easy to make yourself at home at this quaint and colorful Victorian house–turned–café, charmed by its hardwood floors, casual décor, and friendly servers. The warm welcome extends to the front yard, where a sun-dappled arbor and tiled roundtops make an ideal setting for devouring scrambles overstuffed with local ingredients. Just remember: at some point, you’ll have to go back to your house.

TIN SHED

$ 40 H ^

1438 NE Alberta St; 503-288-6966;
tinshedgardencafe.com
Don’t even think about hitting the snooze button Saturday morning if you want a seat on this popular eatery’s flower-filled garden patio. Waits for Tin Shed’s local, organic goodies can easily creep past an hour. Fortunately, if you miss the breakfast boat, you can sneak back (and probably find a fireside seat) for supper. —RR

Eat Outside

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:00:00 -0700

Yakuza’s backyard oasis.

AS A CITY with limited ray-baked days, we hold certain culinary truths to be self-evident. Specifically, that fresh air makes everything taste better. With that in mind, we scoured Portland in search of tasty places with thoughtful outdoor spaces as complementary to your meal as a fine, palate-pleasing wine. In other words: Places that put more effort into their outside environs than a few wobbly tables sprinkled along the sidewalk. And we found them. From front patios with fire pits to backyard gardens ripe for growing romance over brunch, Portland’s alfresco menu offers something for everyone. As our heat-soaked summer days slowly slide toward fall, your only job: Eat. It. Up.

FIREHOUSE

$$ 32

711 NE Dekum St; 503-954-1702
firehousepdx.com
An old fire station makes an unlikely Eden, but Firehouse’s garden of herbs, veggies, and fruit feels like paradise on a hot evening. Chewy, uncut wood-fired pizzas come in four seasonal varieties, flanked by sprightly small plates and hearty oven-roasted mains. The restored building’s red bricks take on a super-real glow as the sun sinks—an effect only enhanced by well-crafted cocktails. —Zach Dundas

RONTOMS

$ 145 H ^

600 E Burnside St; 503-236-4536
rontoms.net
While Rontoms’s interior is a bastion of mid-20th-century mod, the angular wood roof covering its expansive back patio is pure 21st-century timber chic. Toss in a fire pit, outdoor Ping-Pong, planters brimming with bamboo, and a menu that features local handmade ice cream from Fifty Licks, and you’ve got one of the coolest outdoor dining spaces in town. —KC

Evening comes alive on the back patio at Rontoms.

PALEY’S PLACE

$$$ 8 H ^

1204 NW 21st Ave; 503-243-2403;
paleysplace.net
Perennial favorite Paley’s elevates front-porch sitting (and eating) to a whole other level with four tables on the converted Victorian’s column-lined stoop. Savor the quaint street scene, citrus-infused Paley’s Lemon Drop in hand, along with any one of the garden-fresh salads (we like George’s Gathered Greens, simply dressed with lemon and extra-virgin olive oil) or main plates, like line-caught Columbia River salmon, from Vitaly Paley’s flawless Northwest repertoire. —Ben Tepler

Image: Neil DeCosta

CIRCA 33

$$ 80 H ^

3348 SE Belmont St; 503-477-7682;
circa33bar.com
Neatly tucked into SE Belmont Street’s brick storefronts, Circa 33’s newly opened alleyway space presents a welcome alternative to the neighborhood’s other, emission-laced sidewalk sitting options. The 10-month-old bar has transformed the narrow corridor adjacent to its whiskey-lovin’, comfort-food-focused restaurant into a decidedly intimate off-street area with a sequence of small picnic tables, hanging pots spilling bright flowers, and heat lamps to zap those summer cold snaps. —Rachel Ritchie

Image: Neil DeCosta

SKYLINE TAVERN

$ 80 ^

8031 NW Skyline Blvd; 503-286-4788

Barbecuing on the big grill at this rustic tavern deep in the West Hills requires some forethought. After you make a reservation, it’s BYO-everything: food, charcoal, plates, utensils, condiments. Skyline does, however, supply the icy microbrews, backyard horseshoe pits, a battered Ping-Pong table, and a westward view that stretches almost to the Pacific. —ZD

AUTENTICA

$$ 50

5507 NE 30th Ave; 503-287-7555
autenticaportland.com
Arching fronds of exotic plants, wide paddles of freckled cactus, and walls painted with vivid swatches of purple, yellow, and blue decorate Autentica’s back patio. Fenced in behind a busy Northeast Portland corner but wide open to the sky, this bright, festive nook is the perfect spot for sipping a margarita and savoring Mexican ceviche and tostadas in dappled sunshine. —RR

BLUEHOUR

$$$ 25 H ^

250 NW 13th Ave; 503-226-3394
bluehouronline.com
Oyster shooters, succulent bacon-crowned burgers, and some of the city’s best people watching all come cheap at dusk on Bluehour’s loading dock turned seating area, when the Northwest-inspired menu hits happy hour prices. From your front-row sunset seat, listen to the click-clack of well-heeled Portlanders echoing off of NW 13th Avenue’s cobblestones and sip your ginger-tinged Moscow Mule while the setting sun draws a shadowy curtain over the city. But get here early: the cool kids fill the limited seating fast. —RR

MERIWETHER’S

$$$ 90 H ^

2601 NW Vaughn St; 503-228-1250
meriwethersnw.com
With its heated pergola, spacious gazebo, and glowing fire pit, Meriwether’s has long been Portland’s preeminent not-so-secret garden. Once inside the courtyard, liberally laced with fragrant hydrangeas and roses, you might wonder if you’ve accidentally wandered into Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 20th-century England. But a quick perusal of the menu drawn from the restaurant’s own five-acre West Hills farm will bring you right back home. —RR

CRUZROOM

$ 40 H ^

2338 NE Alberta St; 503-208-3483
cruzroom.com
Last year, a pair of engineers moved into what had been a mediocre breakfast spot and turned their love for tacos and cocktails into a funky fusion of flavors. Exhibit A: the Mac Taco, fried pickles, applewood bacon, special-sauce slaw, cheddar cheese, and onions on a corn tortilla. This year, Octavio Cruz-Uribe and Guy Barnes Jr. transformed the streetside patio into an oasis of urban cool befitting Alberta, hacking an enormous rectangular hunk out of the tall wood walls to create a brick-floored, tricked-out patio complete with Japanese maples, overgrown bonsai, fancy fire pits, and a graffiti-fied mural on the west wall. Of course. —KC

YAKUZA

$$ 25 H ^

5411 NE 30th Ave; 503-450-0893;
yakuzalounge.com
Portland’s renowned izakaya (Japanese pub) Yakuza takes the party outside with its tiered back patio, artfully landscaped with pretty pebbles, ferns, dinosaur plants, and Japanese maples. Come for the incredible selection of sushi and sakes (17), or the belly-busting burger. Stay for the backyard hot tub, which is reservable for private parties. —KC

Yakuza

NORTH 45

$$ 49 H ^

517 NW 21st Ave; 503-248-6317
north45pub.com
Encased by wooden fences, this massive back patio makes it possible to imagine you’re anywhere in the world. The large selection of Belgian beers suggests Europe, while the mussel-loving menu whispers New England. But the fully stocked outdoor bar—so you don’t have to miss a moment of those precious rays—is purely Portland. —MP

PRODUCE ROW CAFÉ

$$ 93 H ^

204 SE Oak St; 503-232-8355;
producerowcafe.com
Buffered from city grit by cedar walls, Produce Row’s back patio creates a private world of whiskey, beer, and upscale pub fare amid industrial Southeast. Planters, candlelight, and tables (some fashioned from reclaimed bowling lanes) fill the 1,400-square-foot space. Cover yours with a pastrami and gruyère sammy; then lean back, belly full, and wait for classic movies to fill the roll-down movie screen (on Wednesday nights). —RR

Image: Neil DeCosta

EQUINOX

$$ 50 H

830 N Shaver St; 503-460-3333
equinoxrestaurantpdx.com
Stationed off N Mississippi Avenue, Equinox’s huge, flagstone patio and ample umbrellas offer fine refuge from the stylish street’s heavy foot traffic and the August sun. Between the cute courtyard tangled with Italian cypress and a huge madrone tree, and a globally inspired menu that includes everything from duck confit sliders to wild mushroom wontons, Equinox guarantees a celestial experience more than just twice a year. —BT

PAMBICHE

$$ 44 H ^

2811 NE Glisan St; 503-233-0511
pambiche.com
Busy NE Glisan Street isn’t the most glamorous outdoor environs, but Pambiche has created a colorful little slice of Havana, fittingly in one of the city’s too-few arcade-covered sidewalks. Besides, with exquisitely crafted Cuban food like beef hash empanadas and smoked ham croquetas (all for under $15), and one of the city’s most revered dessert menus, you won’t be looking at anything other than your plate. —KC

VIOLETTA

$ 40 ^

877 SW Taylor St (Director Park): 503-233-3663;
violettapdx.com
Housed in a very un-burger-joint-like glass buve, this former food cart’s burgers are a Director park lunch crowd favorite: a half pound of grass-fed Highland Oak beef topped with Carlton Farms’ bacon on a Grand Central bun, with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese from Portland farms. Plant yourself by the fountain, and soak up some rays while you dig in. Just wipe the fixins off your face before you leave (but not the smile). -MP

GOOSE HOLLOW INN

$ 45 H ^

1927 SW Jefferson St; 503-228-7010
goosehollowinn.com
During his tenure as Portland’s mayor from 1985 to 1992, the Goose’s first owner, Bud Clark, could often be found here washing down a long day at City hall. Even now, hidden behind a grove of trees, the classic spot’s tranquility, and large, sun-soaked wraparound porch affords a prime place for you to soothe your own municipal woes. Order a pitcher of IPA and the famous “best reuben on the planet,” and dream of how you’d rule Portland. -MP

CARTLANDIA

$$ 80 ^

8145 SE 82nd Ave.; 503-358-7873
cartlandia.com
Cart “pods” may be last year’s revolution, but this cluster, which caters to cyclist plying the Springwater Corridor and motorist refugees from 82nd, could become this year’s most happening “street” scene. A recent visit found a half-dozen carts, withmore promised by summer’s height. The standout: Cascade Burger, where a self-professed lifelong vegetarian (!) grills an excellent half-pound of beef with superb fries and house-made ketchup. A trailer loaded with a big-screen TV also makes for fine Timbers viewing. -ZD

MUDDY RUDDER PUBLIC HOUSE

$ 28

8105 SE Seventh Ave; 503-233-4410
muddyrudderpdx.com
The conspicuously red two-story house in Sellwood’s lazy downtown feels more residential than commercial: picnic tables in the small backyard are surrounded by unpainted fences and shrub, a tone walkway, and the bustle of families. So you’ll feel no guilt letting your kids (or dog) run free while you nosh on one of Muddy’s signature organic flour pizzas with pecorino cheese – pies that rival some of the best of Portland’s pizza pantheon. -MP

NOHO’S HAWAIIAN CAFÉ

$ 55 H

4627 NE Fremont St.; 503-445-6646
nohos.com
Slip away to the islands for an afternoon at this casual Northwest micro-chain, which boast two cafés in Portland and one in Medford. The large, tikied-out, palm-tree-appointed back patio at the NE Fremont location invites long lunches of Hawaiian favorites like kahlua pig and loco moco (a fried egg and hamburger patty on a bed of rice, smothered with brown gravy). A fire pit tucked in one corner awaits in case you want to let the day completely get away from you. -KC

PROST!

$ 90 H ^

4237 N Mississippi Ave.; 503-954-2674
prostportland.com
From the servers’ accents to the beer steins and wood paneling, North Portland’s always-crowded beer garden ranks as the most authentic (and fun) slice of Bavaria this side of the Alps. When the sun is shining, nix the boiled bratwurst and canned sauerkraut and opt for the food carts that ring the deck. Meatball heros at Garden State, a vegan bowl of tofu and veggies from the Native Bowl, and gourmet burgers at the newly opened Burgatroyd make excellent, if somewhat untraditional, companions for your Helles. -MP

CALDERA PUBLIC HOUSE

$ 76

6031 SE Stark St.; 503-233-8242
calderapublichouse.com
Set on the volcanic slopes of Mount Tabor, this neighborhood pub holds what s quite possibly one of the coziest, homiest backyard spaces in all of Portland. Twinkling white lights and Japanese lanterns line the fenced-in, fern lade patio. It’ll take some time to choose between the menu’s six organic burger options and the more creative fare (bourbon-soaked brie, anyone?). But the toughest decision? When to tear yourself away from the tranquil scene. -KC
