The Best Restaurants in Portland, Oregon’s North Tabor Neighborhood

Bookended by higher-profile dining destinations like East Burnside and Montavilla, the North Tabor neighborhood mostly flies under the radar, food-wise. Hugging Mount Tabor’s northern slope, this residential area of peaceful, historic homes enjoys elevated views toward downtown, as well as tranquil streets lined with giant trees. What it also has is a globe-spanning selection of culinary options, including Michoacán cuisine, Alabama-style chicken, and one of the few places in Portland to get Indonesian chow. And in classic Portland fashion, there’s also a craft brewery and a down-home pizza joint or two.

Northeast 44th Avenue marks this tiny district to the west, with Northeast 68th Avenue to the east. Interstate 84 slaloms along the northern border, and except for a small square of land jutting down to Southeast Stark, East Burnside marks the southern border. If you find yourself heading along Burnside, pause in this whizzed-by area for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at one of these top spots.
