The Best Restaurants and Bars in the Columbia River Gorge
Taqueria Mi Pueblito
The Columbia River Gorge — a designated National Scenic Area known for its exceptional windsurfing, hiking, camping, and other outdoor sports — lies just east of Portland, making it an easy day trip from the city. In addition to offering one of the most dramatic landscapes in the country, the region is also home to lush orchards, farms, and award-winning breweries and wineries. Find the Gorge’s best restaurants, bars, and food carts with this handy map, whether you’re craving wood-fired pizza, vegan soft serve, or smoked salmon sourced right from the Columbia River. Keep in mind: During the summer season, wait times for tables at the most well-known restaurants can get lengthy. Our advice: go early to snag a spot on a waitlist and then meander around, take in the scenery, and browse some of the local shops. For more ideas in the Gorge, check out our 24-hour guide.
This time, Loop de Loop Wines, C & D Drive-In and Bakery, and Hiyu Wine Farm came off the list while East Wind Drive-In and Thunder Island Brewing Co. joined the ranks.
