The Best Portland Celebration Restaurants for Any Type of Special Occasion

The best stops whether celebrating an anniversary dinner or a casual birthday party
One of the best things about Portland’s dining scene is how unapologetically democratic it is. You can find good food literally everywhere: restaurants that serve bank-breaking tasting menus, random pop-ups from upstarting chefs, and rowdy food cart pods. However, sometimes a night calls for something special — a proposal dinner, a birthday party, an anniversary date. Some people love to celebrate with a ritzy tasting menu or omakase, something serious and special in an intimate space. Others want to get interactive and lively, dunking slices of lamb in a hot pot or wrapping gimbap over bottles of wine or cans of Hite. Below, we rounded up our favorite places to celebrate, whether you’re looking to impress a hot date with a big blowout dinner or you want to get wild with a group of friends.
