This is our go-to place for Sunday brunch, but it also has great lunch and dinner, a coffee bar and a full bar. It's decorated with umbrellas on the ceiling and has a true Portland feel to it.

Parks & Nature

Washington Park has both the zoo, which can be fun for both kids and adults, and the Rose Test Garden which has more roses than I've ever seen in one place, and the summer is the best time to go! The Garden can also offer be some amazing views of the city on non-cloudy days.
