Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Northeast Portland

I had the pleasure of dining at Trela and could not recommend it more. From start to finish, this is an experience. The ambience was cozy and well curated. The food was delicious. The flavors were authentic to Greek cuisine and it was obvious that every dish was made with care and love. This is a family owned restaurant and you feel like a part of the family when dining. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of Greece in Portland.

This is a great restaurant. A group of 4 of us dined there last night. We each ordered something different and all four entrees were delicious. Our server, Mitch was fantastic as well. Lucca is a home run!

Outstanding food in a very comfortable restaurant. We sat at the counter and chatted with one of the owner chefs. We loved doing that, and watched how all the food was being prepared and finished. It's pricey for Portland, but we felt that the level of the Mexican-inspired cooking was so high, it warranted the price. Certainly one of the best experiences we've had in restaurants in a long time. Highly recommended.

L’Orange was wonderful! It’s everything that the reviews say – – the food was sublime, the service was warm, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the entrées, and the ambience was delightful – – warm and cozy!  We were just passing through Portland, staying in the Airbnb across the street from the restaurant, and this was a find. We will definitely visit again! 💝

Another enjoyable meal at the Heathman Tavern. We have been several times now, and it has been consistently good. I had the steak frites and my friend had the salmon and arugula and both were delicious. Our server was delightful and the drinks were good. I still miss the old Heathman Restaurant, but the Tavern is a worthy, less expensive, and more casual successor.
