Portland's Oven and Shaker is a popular dining destination for locals and visitors who crave artisan pizzas and unique bar drinks served in a warm and inviting setting. The nettle pesto arancino rice ball made with parmesan risotto and mushrooms and the fried calamari and octopus fritto misto with lemon and honey make stunning starters. In addition to traditional pizza choices, like margherita and bianca, Oven and Shaker crafts specialty pizzas, like the maple pig topped with apple butter, smoked ham, pork belly and maple mascarpone, the goat cheese topped with roasted leeks, prosciutto and aged balsamic and the vegetarian cauliflower topped with peppers, olives and cheese. Accompanying your pizza with a craft beer or cocktail, like the pineapple trainwreck made with rum, lemon, pineapple and ginger syrup, is a winning idea.For a sweet finale, enjoy Oven and Shaker's homemade mint chocolate stracciatella gelato.

• Argentinean • Cedar Mill

Booked 2 times today

The LaChona brand was born out of a love for sharing incredible wine with close friends and family. Ask any Argentinian what their favorite pastime is and they will likely say “asado con familia”, or grilling with the family. Slow-cooked lechon, fire-kissed chorizo, and hand-crafted empanadas born of generational influences and traditions are all paired with the perfect Malbec, Cabernet Franc, or Semillon every Sunday. This shared familial experience, this act of “pairing” family and fine dining, defines the essence of LaChona’s food and wine experience.

Dolly Olive is one of the best restaurants in Portland that doesn’t receive enough attention in the press. A true hidden gem. The service is impeccable and the food is outstanding.

If you are looking for a quiet unassuming place with good food at a reasonable price, this is your spot. It is the restaurant attached to a hotel in the slabtown neighborhood. At Sunday brunch time, there were only 4 people although we were told it can be very busy. The food was perfectly prepared, the coffee was good, and the waiter was engaging and helpful. This is not a.trendy foodie hotspot, which is what makes it an understated gem. The menu misspellings gave us a laugh, but the chef’s cooking skills are no joke. We thought it offered excellent value in these days when everything is so expensive. Off the beaten track, and well worth a visit!
