Our take on the places to eat within a mile or less from the house.
Italian food with a northwest twist. Excellent wine list, good cocktails, delicious pasta, and they make a great steak (they cut their own). It is a family friendly restaurant, and while there aren’t a ton of children there people to bring their kids and have family meals. Gino is very supportive of that. A real sellwood staple!

Good beer, and FANTASTIC pizza. Not a huge place and it’s usually busy because it is a local favorite. Outdoor seating and sometimes they have live music.

They have a very well curated selection of wines and craft beer, with a selection of draft beer that is unique and changes frequently. Wine tasting most Fridays and outdoor seating where you can sip a delicious beverage and watch our neighborhood go by! Their food is great as well, I recommend the Cascadia Dip with a pint.

Delicious food, and plenty of seating (outdoor and upstairs). They also do takeout if you just want to spend a night in. It can be loud in the restaurant proper, and the ordering system is a little inefficient but the food is worth it.

Great place to grab a quick pastry, one of their delicious breakfasts, or a loaf of fresh bread to take home. They also have pretty good coffee if you only want to make one breakfast stop. The building is another of Sellwood’s historic buildings that adds a little charm to your meal! Just know their seating is limited and you might have to wait a bit.

This local sushi spot has first come first serve seating, and typically a line forms before they open. Probably because they have good sushi at a decent price and the portions are huge.

A cute little tea house set in the back of a caboose (way bigger than you’d think). It is packed with middle school age kids just after school gets out (~3pm) but at other times is a good spot for a cup. They also have a wonderful selection of loose leaf teas.

Oaks Bottom is Portland’s first wildlife refuge, and a Sellwood favorite. The nature trail skirts a natural floodplain where you can see a variety of wildlife including deer and all sorts of migrating birds! Hikers can descend into the refuge itself, and those who need more accessibility can stay in the upper park and enjoy the view! Senna and I run down here pretty frequently.

Local, historic public pool run by Portland Parks and Recreation. Open swim a couple of times a day and lap swim most other hours (although swim lessons and lap swim are often at the same times). They utilize a lot of lifeguards and the pool slopes to the deck so it is great for families with little children. We spend a lot of time there during the summer.

Wednesdays every week from May 1st to October 30th. Stroll down 13th to take in the view of Oaks Bottom from the bluff and end up here for some local produce! It’s not a huge market but you can walk to it.

Down here you can get up close and personal with the river. There is a dog park down here so expect lots of happy pups running. Picnics are more reliable on the beach or at the upper park

Seven blocks east of us, this park has a lot of opportunity. The play area for kids is fantastic, the nature walk is great, there are fields and picnic benches as well as strolls through newly revitalized salmon habitat. Migrating birds are frequently around and it is a big enough park that including it in a run is great!

Sightseeing

Senna and I got married here. This is the oldest intact church building in Oregon, built in 1851. Originally built in the city of Milwaukie, it was saved from demolition in 1969 and relocated to this spot. Good sight to check out as you make your way down to the river.
