A local’s list to the best in Portland cuisine.

Chapter’s Choices

Portland, OR is consistently ranked among the world’s top 10 food cities, known for its specialty carts, diverse fusions, and farm-to-table culture.

Chapter’s Choices is our guide to 125 of the city’s best spots (by our admittedly biased taste) when you visit us for one of our FAUSTIAN events.

From cocktails to coffee, food carts to fine dining, each listing includes price, cuisine type, and a link to the most up-to-date website.

Because Portland’s food scene—especially cart pods—can shift quickly, we recommend calling ahead to confirm location details and reservation platforms.
