Best Restaurants in Portland<\/h2>\n

Portland is practically a mecca for foodies and beer lovers, so finding nourishment worthy of an Instagram photo won\u2019t be difficult. Whether you\u2019re a raw vegan or a committed meat lover, Portland\u2019s food scene covers the full spectrum of dietary preferences.<\/p>\n

Flytographer Whitney<\/a> recommends Vita Cafe<\/a>, which serves vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free comfort food. In true Portland style, the cafe offers happy hour from 5 \u2013 7 pm daily, with $1 kids specials available. For the rest of us, Wednesday night happy hour specials include riffs on sliders and poutine.<\/p>\n

For a more classic take on comfort food, Bernie\u2019s Southern Bistro<\/a> has you covered with fried chicken on almost everything. For sushi, Whitney recommends Bamboo Sushi<\/a>, where the focus is on sustainably caught, humanely raised and naturally grown seafood. And when in doubt, just wander down Alberta Street<\/a>. You\u2019ll find ever-popular favourites like Pine State Biscuits<\/a> and Salt & Straw<\/a>, as well as inspired takes on ethnic cuisine like the Burmese-inspired Expatriate<\/a> and the gourmet Mexican dishes at Autentica<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No visit to Portland would be complete without a proper sampling of local coffee and beer. For your daily caffeine fix, try Stumptown Coffee Roasters<\/a> or Coava Coffee Roasters<\/a>. Portland has so many wonderful local breweries that it can feel a bit overwhelming. Don\u2019t despair \u2013 you can\u2019t really go wrong when it comes to Portland and beer. If you\u2019re a sour lover, don\u2019t miss Cascade Brewing<\/a>, which specializes in deliciously tart brews. Otherwise, pick a brewery and order a flight, or just ask a friendly local what they recommend.<\/p>\n

Must See Attractions in Portland<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Flytographer Whitney recommends seeing Portland through its neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood has its own charming reasons to visit, but try the Alberta Arts District for its aforementioned food and quirky art. Nob Hill\u2019s stylish boutiques and Victorian architecture make it a terrific spot for an afternoon stroll. If you\u2019re into shopping, theatre and books (we\u2019re looking at you, Powell\u2019s<\/a>), the Pearl District is where it\u2019s at.<\/p>\n

Portland has no shortage of local bands playing every night of the week. Whitney recommends catching a local band at Alberta Street Pub<\/a> or Radio Room<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Things To Do in Portland<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People flock to the Pacific Northwest for its natural beauty, so don\u2019t forget to get some fresh air during your Portland visit. A trip to the Portland Japanese Garden<\/a> in the West Hills of Portland is one way to do that and now is the perfect time to visit to fully appreciate all of fall\u2019s colours.<\/p>\n

Suit up and take a dip at the historic Kennedy School<\/a>, a former elementary school now rehabbed and open as a quirky hotel, complete with a restaurant, bars, movie theatre and soaking pool<\/a>. The ceramic soaking pool is open to the public for just $5 per person, per hour. What was once the teacher\u2019s lounge can now be your private paradise.<\/p>\n
