The most romantic restaurants in Portland
Portland’s restaurant scene is amazing, with a huge variety of cuisines and levels of fanciness. Want a traditional dining experience? We’ve got it. Interested in trying out a cutting edge food cart? We have those, too. In fact, the hard part can be choosing which restaurant to visit on date night. With that in mind, here are our bets for the top three most romantic restaurants in Portland, OR.
This romantic French bistro has won tons of awards, including the James Beard Award for Best Chef Northwest. Small and cozy, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients, Paley’s Place is a sure fire winner.
The two best bets at Castagna are the four-course prixe fix meal and the 10-course chef’s tasting menu, depending on your personal preference. This upscale, dressy restaurant features modern American cuisine, including some dishes inspired by the cutting edge science of molecular gastronomy. A great date restaurant for foodies!
Ox can get crazy busy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking a reservation ahead of time is highly recommended. This Argentinian restaurant is ultra hip, and has an amazing cocktail menu in addition to the delicious Argeninian classics.
