A short, trusted list

The places we send people, and go ourselves.

Not an exhaustive guide. Just the places we’ve found to be good, again and again.

Breakfast

Remedy Cafe

The healthiest food in town, and it happens to be delicious.

Broder Ost

Scandinavian specialties, in a room worth lingering in.

Bette’s

A solid, egg-centered breakfast with large portions. A local institution.

Riverside, at the Best Western

Good food and a great river view, if you want the water with your coffee.

Lunch & dinner

Many places here close on Mondays.

Celilo

One of the best spots in town — Northwest fusion, locally grown, quietly confident.

Stonehedge Gardens

Woodsy, romantic, and usually quiet. The place for a slow dinner.

Crush Cider

Fresh local ingredients, right here in our building.

Solstice Wood Fire Cafe

Wood-fired pizza and combinations you won’t find elsewhere — dried cherries and chorizo among them.

Double Mountain

Good pizza and its own beer, in the middle of downtown.

Lake Taco

Some of the most interesting Mexican food in town.

Boda’s Kitchen

Great chicken, and easy grab-and-go if you’d rather eat back at your room. Our pick for take-out soup the night of your journey.

3 Rivers Grill

A favorite of ours — great views from the patio, right on the water.

Kickstand

One of our local favorites for coffee or food — open throughout the day.

T-Quito El Hambre

Our favorite food truck, across from the library — the best quesabirria tacos in the area.
