Things To Eat in Portland

Portland must eats

Chances are all food in Portland you gonna have is good. People there know what they are doing and care profoundly about the food they are serving you. For the 30 days we spent in Hipster capital we ate our faces off and here are the absolute must eat dishes:

Tasty'n'Adler

If brunch is your thing I will say go to Tasty'n'Adler. Eggy Bread Pudding (I believe the name is something like The Whole Toad) - I ordered the bread pudding thinking it's a desert. Well, it wasn't. It's a savory, eggy, scrumptious dish that just blew me away. Probably one of my top 3 things I ate in Portland. Korean Friend Chicken - Really well Borrata Watermelon Salad Radicchio salad

Salt and Straw

Fennel ice cream Olive oil ice cream

Random Order Pies

Quiche of the day: I don't remember which flavour it was but it was soo custerdy and so amazing. Banana crea pie

Bollywood Theater

Roasted beets with coconut milk and curry leaves Kati roll Daily specials: Tomato chaad

Le Pigeon

Fois Gras Profiteroles

Hat Yai

Hat Yai Fried Chicken w/ House Based Curry & Rosti

Papa G's

EVERYTHING is yummy and made with love. Clean eating paradise. Collard wrap Indian Curry plate Organic potato salad/Sunflower cheeze

The Waffle Window

Good classic chicken and waffles with gravy is not to be missed

HYPED PLACES WE DID NOT LIKE:

Pine State Biscuit - Lines, lines, lines. This iconic place on Alberta did not impress us. Unfortunately the biscuits and chicken were average and were not worth the wait. Best thing there were the Cajun Fries and the Sausage gravy Cajun fries.

Screen Door - This place was a BIG disappointment. All the food was lacking flavor. Fried chicken and biscuits were kind of dry, grits were bland, Portions were big but none of the meals were delicious.

The Wesley - Boutique Hotel In Palm Springs You Need To Know About

The Wesley Palm Springs is the perfect desert oasis that we discovered randomly. I hate to give out this gem of a hotel but I think everyone should know about it! :)

The Wesley is a boutique hotel with approximately eight different units varying in size and price. Each flat features original mid-century artwork and showcase nice design touches from the tasteful owners.

The location is great - situated in a quiet area near the main road that leads to all of Palm Springs, everything is literally minutes away. For example, the iconic pink door is just 5 minutes away.

We stayed in the micro apartment unit which included everything possible for a comfortable stay - a private patio, a gas grill, fully stocked kitchen, fast wi-fi, mini dining table, LCD TV, large comfy bed, and a clean modern bathroom.

In the common areas, there are bikes to use, an outdoor bar kitchen, washers, dryer, and an amazing pool/hot tub.

You can book this gem through AirBnB or by directly emailing the hotel.

You all know what time it is! It's Palm Springs time!

In my next few posts I'll go over some of my favorite places in Palm Springs and day trip options :)
