Food Scene

Pretty darn good sushi and the rolls are HUGE! Lines can be long, but they are very efficient in moving people along, so don't despair. They close at 9:30 weekdays; 10:00 weekends.

A really good Italian restaurant with great desserts. It's a tad on the spendy side, but if you want a romantic dinner in a dark, quiet place, this is a good choice.

Great sandwiches! And, well, there are all those pastries, too. Their bread is pretty delicious, too, if you want to pick up a loaf to snack on during the day. They close at 6PM.

Drinks & Nightlife

Super nice staff, great beer and $2.50 pints all day on Monday! The food is just average, though, so we'd advise you to stick to the beer.

Hands down, our favorite bar in Portland. It's your quintessential neighborhood tavern. Their food is also surprisingly good. Very cozy and you'll find friendly folks here.

We definitely recommend grabbing a drink here at the bar. This place has been here for 100+ years and the bar is beautiful. The food is pretty good, but you can get better Italian food elsewhere.

Honestly, puppets (especially marionettes) scare the crap out of Kristin, so we have never been in here. However, it looks pretty cool from the outside. Let us know how it is!

Very spendy, but fun to browse. Their deli is great for grabbing a picnic lunch. They also have a lot of upscale Portland souvenir thingies.

Everything Else

We love this place! There's an off-leash dog park, so you can watch the pups run about and there is river access and a dock, so you can swim in the Willamette in the summertime. Picnic tables & grills

This shop is run by our neighbors! After browsing here, you will want to start canning, make your own cheese/soap/sausage/pickles and start raising goats. Visit the shop goats out back!

You can get some bangin deals on outerwear and regular clothes, just in case you didn't pack any rain/warm gear. We outfit our whole family here and I think most of Sellwood does, too.
