I realize that this is a chain and that you probably have one close to you, making the Portland one not as special, but I definitely wanted to send a reminder out to you that there is always room for ice cream!
This franchise is owned by the Kim family, and Jaewook was working when I went in there. She was very nice and I would highly recommend this location!
Well, there is now yogurt, sugarfree, and regular ice creams, so pick a new one and try it! Leave a Comment Theme: DessertPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 625 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97204Phone: 503-222-3830

You can find this restaurant in Portland, McMinnville and Bend (on the way to Sunriver).
They're nicely decorated, lot of colors and flowers, like in Mexico. Very neat.
You'l be attended by bilingual Mexican people, all of them very friendly :o)
What I love from Mexican food is shrimps with cream and of course their famous dessert: "Flan de Leche" hmmm!!!!!. Leave a Comment Theme: MexicanPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 1101 NE Highway 99 w.Phone: 503- 472 9771Directions: McMinnville, Oregon

It's the most authentic Italian eatery I've found, yet. Complete with delicious wines and seasonal treats. I've never had anything less than impressive here.
I love that you will find every kind of person here, in every type of clothing.. enjoying wonderful food in great ambience without judgement.
Wild Boar, when it's in season! Leave a Comment

Hall Street Grill is actually in nearby Beaverton. The restaurant is bright and cheerful and definitely upscale. But the staff are warm and friendly...not pretentious personalities were in evidence during our visit. The menu has a Pacific Northwest theme in many of the dishes featuring fresh locally-produced ingredients. Our server mentioned that the night's special was the Copper River Wild Salmon. He added that the salmon run had been shortened for the season and that there would be few opportunities remaining this year to taste this delicacy. He also warned us that the dish was $39. Neverheless, three in our party of four ordered the salmon which by the way was the best salmon I had ever tasted! Full of flavor not found in farm-raised salmon and cooked to perfection. We also started with the Dungeness crab spring rolls
We also indulged in some dessert, sharing two dishes amongst the four of us. We chose the creme brulee and the cholocate cake, both of which were top notch. They also have a nice selection of wines and beers (many produced in Oregon).
If they have the Copper River Wild Salmon, don't hesitate to order it! Fireball molten chocolate cake. Leave a Comment

Located in the bottom floor of a pink and yellow pastel-painted building, Pambiche offers up some of the best Cuban food I've ever had. The small interior is likewise designed with some of the same color scheme as the outside and provides a great atmosphere. There are only 12 or so tables and a bar that can accomodate 4 diners. Sitting at the bar really give you an idea of the organization of the personnel, all of whom speak English and Spanish. I got the impression there were a couple of generations working back there with the older matriarch coming int to see how things were running with the younger generation filling orders and waiting tables.
The menu is filled (and it is large) with authentic dishes: meats, seafood, salads, you name it. Dishes are colorful and well-spiced. That is to say that they are very tasty rather than spicy (hot). There is also a large dessert menu.
Seriously...DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT!!!

Cameo Cafe touts itself as a neighborhood cafe and no wonder, the owners make you feel like you're old friends just coming by for a meal. When we walked in, a woman in the front bar was cutting into what looked like a lemon torte pie. She smiled as she cut and asked us where we would like to sit. Very welcoming.
Great casual ambience. There's an outdoor seating area, but it's covered w/ a nice canopy of vines where it shields you from the street. Looks like a popular work lunch place also.
Good, friendly service. Also "Home of the Acre Pancake." Apparently, they're so abundant that a dude from Australia said you should rename them acre pancakes. They come in 1/2 and full acre.
Gnocchi. Plane and simple--or I should say, large and yummy. Not small pieces, but nugget-sized. Nice marinar sauce, but nothing extraordinary. You get two huge meatballs.
My friends had the Philly Cheesesteak which they all raved over, but you know...can you really do a Philly Cheesesteak wrong? Oh yeah, I remember now. You can.
My cousin had the Monte Carlo. It's basically a turkey sandwich but they use french toasted bread.
BUT, they had a breakfast menu that looked real good too, but didn't partake since I wasn't in the mood for bfast. Breakfast served between 7:30am-3:00pm.

Hometown Buffet is the largest family friendly buffet chain on the west coast. There are several outlets in the PDX metro area. Easiest to get to from the downtown hub, Pioneer Courthouse Square, is the one in Beaverton.
Board the Blue MAX (Hillsboro) train on the north side of Pioneer Courthouse Square. Exit at Beaverton Central. Don't let the name fool you. Central Beaverton was the previous stop, Beaverton TC (Transit Center).
A new concave condo fronted by a green parklike setting will greet you at Beaverton Central. Developers like to refer to it theatrically as "The Round." Nuts! It isn't even half round, it's concave, probably less then a third round.
To the right is a wide pedestrian pass-through. Hometown Buffet is centrally located in a small strip mall visible from the other side of the pass through. Cross Hall Boulevard at the traffic light, then veer to the left. Ample parking.
The live link below can link you to a daily menu, start times, etc. Breakfast served on weekends only. Seniors get a sharp weekday lunch discount from 1-3 PM; not available at other HB outlets as far as I know. Subject to change at any time, of course.

This is my favorite gelato place in the world. I have had gelato in Germany and the real deal in Italy, this is at least as good, if not better. Combining a trip to Powell's Books and Mio Gelato is one of my favorite things any time of year.
They also have fabulous espresso (not sure if they do lattes etc. . .), and panini that look lovely.
I love hazelnut gelato. It's so smooth. The hardest thing is to decide what other flavor to pair it with.

There is only one JJ North's in the PDX metro area. The JJ North's chain spawned the Hometown Buffet chain. The child has since devoured the parent, yum, yum! The weird thing is that JJ's, serving a more blue-collar crowd, has more of a hometown feel to it. Hometown is run by a bunch of out-of-town city-slickers. Maybe cannibalism is just not on my menu.
Oh, well!
Hometown has a wider selection to choose from then JJ's. JJ's seems to favor fish & liver. Neither is on my menu either. If both are served on the same day, the day is a dead loss. JJ's has an advantage over Hometown, if it is an advantage, in being able to handle large community groups.
Both occasionally serve tepid coffee. It seems to me that if they are going to serve cold coffee, there ought to be a hot plate at every table.
Board Blue (Gresham) or Red (Airport) MAX train on south side of Pioneer Courthouse Square. Exit at the Rose Quarter TC (Transit Center). Board #77 Trimet bus.
L A N D M A R K: NE 102nd Avenue.
Exit at bus stop directly in front of JJ's parking lot a few blocks past 102nd. Ask bus driver if in doubt. Ample parking.
Return #77 Trimet bus runs on NE Weidler (wide-ler), a block north of Halsey. No bus shelters that I can recall. Theme: AmericanAddress: 10520 NE HalseyPhone: (503) 254-5555
