🔥Must-Try Food Guide for Your Portland Trip

【Portland】I stopped by Portland for a long weekend to pick up my diamond ring—and got to enjoy tax-free shopping and explore the city’s most talked-about restaurants! Instead of writing separate posts, I put together this guide to help anyone planning a Portland trip. The spots are ordered from breakfast to dinner! 😊 📍 Twisted Croissant 🔥 Portland’s famous viral bakery—totally lives up to the hype, so I even went back a second time! The signature croffin is a must-try 🥐, and all other flaky pastries are amazing too—no misses at all! 😋 📍 Less & More Coffee 👍 A downtown coffee shop shaped like a train station—super photogenic, perfect for check-ins 📸! I tried the black sesame and tiramisu flavors—both were delicious, highly recommend! ☕ 📍 La Perlita 👍 A high-rated Yelp coffee shop specializing in Mexican-style drinks. Their True Mexican Mocha is so unique and flavorful—such a fun twist! 🥤 📍 Broder Nord This sibling brunch spot is super popular on Xiaohongshu! My friend loved it, and while Nordic-style breakfast isn’t my favorite, their baked grapefruit (a side dish) was really tasty—light and refreshing 🍊! 📍 Bing Mi 👍 The famous jianbing (Chinese crepe) food truck! I got to watch the owner make it fresh—so good, with crispy crackers that added great crunch 🥞! Only tiny downside: street parking nearby is tricky, but it’s worth the effort! 🚗 📍 Powell’s Seafood Restaurant You can buy seafood from the nearby market and have it cooked here—super cost-effective! The flavor is solid, and they recommend the typhoon shelter-style crab 🦀. Pro tip: Don’t overbuy (I got two crabs and couldn’t finish them—oops)! 📍 Nong’s Khao Man Gai 🔥 A fantastic Thai food stall! Their pork knuckle rice and Hainanese chicken rice are incredible—I even wrote a whole post about it. 100% recommend! 🍛 📍 Lechon 🔥 Book a table in advance—it’s that popular! This South American spot serves dishes with rich, layered flavors. Every appetizer is amazing, packed with authentic South American ingredients and style 🥩. The main courses are a little less standout, but the cocktails are great too. Overall, a total winner! 🍹 Hope this helps anyone planning a Portland trip! As someone coming from the Bay Area, seeing bills without random extra taxes was such a joy 😆. Wish you all happy shopping and eating in Portland! #PortlandFood #PortlandTravel
