It's different in a very good way from your standard Mexican fair. It's also a little bit more expensive, but it's so worth it. Local ingredients, imagination, and hard work go into these dishes.

My favorite brunch spot! A small menu, but you don't need a lot of choices when everything is so delicious. My favorite is the gluten-free French toast with coconut cardamon syrup. They also do handmade drinks with flowers in them. Expect a wait on the weekend.

Teote is a Latin American street food experience celebrating gluten-free arepas, and incredibly delicious and unique menu of exciting cross-cultural flavors and epicurean delights. The covered outdoor seating area and amazing fire pit are amazing and just as unique as the food. Large tables, so it's great for groups or meeting new people. They have been known to host DJ's during the summer months.

Sandwiches are available for lunch and the location is a super-cute historic brick building. They also offer bread making classes and sell a variety of flours.

Like a local version of Whole Foods, but better. Grassfed meat, organic everything (or not), and lots of local gourmet items. Plus normal grocery stuff. If you are looking for a quick breakfast, the hot bar is great!

Just a 30-minute drive, or take a shuttle tour from downtown, Multnomah Falls is iconic and beautiful. There's no special view from up top, so don't bother hiking beyond the bridge, save your energy for other small waterfall hikes along the same old Hwy 30 route.
