Generous in natural beauty and increasingly abundant with world-class coffee, beer and food, Portland is a leafy, lovely city that skirts the Willamette River, with an off-beat, laid back charm that has made it a hipster paradise. Cool without being pretentious, quirky without being intimidating and expansive without being expensive, it’s an increasingly popular tourist destination for young explorers.

These chicken wings have a cult status across Oregon, and for good reason. A former Teriyaki stand crafted these Vietnamese style chicken wings and they became an overnight sensation. Crispy, chewy and swathed in caramelised garlic, these are an iconic must try when visiting Portland.

Grain and gristle is one of Portland’s most popular yet approachable restaurants, and the deviled eggs are its speciality, topped with fresh anchovies for a salty and hearty snack. Follow them up with the G&G burger if you’re in the mood for a banquet.

Come by for a taste of your childhood. (Unless your childhood sucked, and then we'll let ya have a taste of ours.) So goes the motto of Grilled Cheese Grill, which serves delicious and homely grilled cheese, often served with a cup of tomato soup. Go for the cheeses, or the Mondor, and get a taste of someone’s childhood, at least.

Grilled Cheese Grill, 1027 NE Alberta St, Portland, OR 97211
Podnah’s pit smokes its meats on oak hardwood without any electrical or gas assistance - or charcoal. This makes for deliciously tender, fall off the bone deliciousness. Try the brisket with some classic biscuits. It’s an all-american essential.
