Urdaneta offers traditional and modern tapas with a strong accent of Spain's Basque region. Chef Javier Canteras and team draw their inspiration from Javier's family recipes, his childhood and recent travels to Spain, combined with local ingredients of the Pacific Northwest. Our menu is complimented by a drinking list of Spanish wines, vermouth and sherry, as well as seasonal sangria and house cocktails. Our outdoor street seating is along bustling Alberta Street, and our indoor dining has a front row view of the open kitchen.

    First time guests and we enjoyed our evening immensely. Wonderful food, great service and lovely atmosphere. It was my partner's b-day and our server brought us a nice glass of Cava right off the bat. That set the tone for an amazing evening and fabulous plates of tapas. Definitely will be returning again. Highest recommendation.

    We brought some friends, all of us dining here for the first time. The service was on point and very attentive, but not overly so. The atmosphere was great. A bit rustic, fitting the type of food they served, but with 80’ music. The food portions are small, surprisingly small on a couple of plates, but we all left satisfied and full, just had to order a little more than we might have elsewhere. That, however, was to our benefit as we were able to try more variety. I’m glad we did. Every single dish was so very good! Even the dish we ranked least of them was better than so many other great dishes elsewhere. This place knows their business. Every plate had different flavors. All of them were so well layered and developed. We’ve been around a while and have eaten all over the world and I will say that Urdaneta has some of the best food we’ve ever had. Prices are high (a little too high) and the portions small but the quality of ingredients they obviously cook with and the skill with which they do it are, again, on point and excellent.

    All the food were delicious. Presentation was very nice too. However, we regretfully will not be going there again because every dish we ate was too salty for our liking. We ate all of it though because they were delicious. Washed them down with lot of water 😊 I’m sure others are fine but we just could not take that much salt too often.

    We loved our dinner at Urdaneta. There were two of us. We ordered two items from the Pinxtos menu, two from the tapas primero menu, one from the tapas segundos menu, and a dessert. It was the perfect amount of food. Our favorites were the beet salad, the creamy eggs with trout, and the salt cod dumplings were to die for. Everything was delicious. There were a couple of small lapses in service but it was no big deal. We really enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend Urdaneta.

    I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!

    This was one of the best meals I have had in Portland in a long time! Every single dish was a 10/10 hit, I'm not kidding!! It's hard to pick a favorite but I think the Oxtail dish was our fav. We can't wait to come back!

    Urdaneta is perhaps our favorite Portland restaurant - creative & delicious Spanish-inspired cuisine, cozy ambiance and attentive/warm/welcoming service. The menu contains year-round favorites and seasonal surprises. Go with an open mind - even if you *think* you might not like a certain dish, it may well become your new favorite. Trust the advice of your servers, then enjoy your evening on a date, with friends or as a group.

    We were here for my wife's birthday. The food was amazing and varied and just right. We've eaten a lot of tapas and spent plenty of time in Spain abd this is some off the absolute best. Our server, Maddie, was a gem. The vermouth flight she selected was perfect. We'll be back for certain
