Laurelhurst Market is an American restaurant, bar and butcher shop. Not too many places can do as many things well as this particular eatery. If guests just need some premium meat to bring home to cook, the butcher shop has its own entrance at the side of the building where guests can peruse all kinds of cuts of beef, lamb, pork and various kinds of house made sausages and pate. Naturally, Laurelhurst Market's menu focuses on the many fine cuts of meat that are cut on-site as well as farm fresh produce. Appetizers include the Charcuterie Board that features house made cured meats and pates with seasonal mostarda and house pickles. The most popular entrées include the Ribeye and the Olympia Provisions Pork Chop!

About the restaurant

Since 2022, Tartuca has been a quintessential Pacific Northwest restaurant, contextualizing its hyper-local, farm-direct produce through an Italian lens on the active strip of Mississippi Avenue in North Portland. Tartuca has formed partnerships with local farmers and respects their soulful work by treating their produce as simply as possible, letting the quality of the ingredients shine above all else. Inside Tartuca is a hip, bustling environment powered by a grooving soundtrack and abundantly flowing wine from a tightly curated All-Italian list that exclusively features small, artisanal producers making wine naturally from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards, often from over-looked regions. For those seeking a quieter experience, Tartuca's best kept secret is a cozy back patio featuring a garden full of herbs that likely will garnish your pizza or bowl of pasta. We are excited to serve you! Abbondanza!

About the restaurant

Our restaurant is small and fills up fast, although not always needed reservations are highly recommended (especially during peak hours 6pm-8pm).

Cereus was created by 2 friends with a passion for hospitality. Our Colombian staffed kitchen moved across the world and several states to serve you their amazing creations. Bringing them together here was in part a love letter to our co-founder Phil Chung's wife Alejandra from Bogotá. Our beverage program was developed by our other co-founder Bradley Thomas Stephens, who wanted to create a menu that is as unique to this part of the world as our chef's food. Taking favorite classics that are rarely found in the PNW and variations of others that he believes are their best versions. With one of the most diverse spirits lists in town, and award winning originals.

All food is naturally gluten-free and we can cater to many dietary requests/needs.

The service was excellent. The chef prepared one of their menu items for me based on some dietary restrictions, and it was amazing. I would definitely go back and recommend Clarklewis to others.
