Downtown

About the restaurant

Nodoguro is an intimate, modern tasting restaurant in the heart of Portland, led by Chef Ryan Roadhouse, winner of the 2026 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northwest & Pacific.

Rather than recreating Japan in Oregon, Nodoguro uses Japanese technique, seasonality, and the traditions of kaiseki to create a cuisine rooted distinctly in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon ingredients, memory, and imagination shape each menu into a theatrical, unexpected, and deeply personal dining experience.

Vancouver

About the restaurant

Vancouver Now Has Its Very-Own Georgian Restaurant!
Dediko, owned by a mother-son team, serves the country’s famous stuffed breads and dumplings out of a cheery Evergreen Boulevard cafe. Dediko’s menu is stacked with the classics of that region, with a number of different khachapuri, soup-filled dumplings called khinkali, walnut-heavy vegetable dishes called phkali, and various grilled meats called mtsvadi. Also coming from the grill, Dediko’s kababi consists of a kebab-like grilled ground chicken patty with Georgian spices, folded in a roll of lavash flatbread. Nico Bakh is partial to a homey dish called lobio, a bean stew served in an imported Georgian pot, complete with a side of fermented vegetables and a Georgian cornbread called mchadi.

Excellent as always. Love the catfish and enjoyed with a waffle this time instead of the lemon slaw. Our friend group’s go-to spot for gathering to catch up. We sat on the heated patio where it’s quieter and heated. Even though they were busy (as usual), we didn’t feel rushed at all. Excellent service!

Astoria

About the restaurant

Serving up our take on Mediterranean fare with a NW twist.

Started in 2024 by Melissa Barber and Brett Meyer, Civil strives to combine local and regional ingredients with flavors and techniques from the Mediterranean, inspired and informed by Brett’s experience growing up in Spain and Morocco. Our food focuses on tapas and small plates. We recommend sharing and eating family style to try as many dishes as possible.

Civil was a wonderful culinary experience. Each “tapa” bite was divine with lovely flavors. And the presentation was stunning.

Excellent food and service per usual! Eric was an amazing waiter. It was my husband's birthday, and they gave us the table we requested which was great. We are so fortunate to have this amazing gem in our neighborhood. We have been coming here for about 10 years, and both the food and service have been consistently outstanding, which is rare!

Cabezon is my favorite restaurant in Portland. Food and service are always excellent. All the food there is exceptional, but the fish is the best prepared fish in Portland.
