The Best Restaurants on Portland’s Southeast Division | Eater Portland

"Under a canopy of hanging plants and surrounded by art, diners at this eclectic African restaurant rip off bites of springy fufu to dunk in intricately spiced and savory oxtail stew, sipping soursop banana lemonade between bites. Meals here should start with grilled suya tofu skewers, coated in a powdery peanut spice blend, followed by the restaurant’s jollof meal, highlighting umami-rich jollof rice as well as custardy sweet plantains. Another stunner: the restaurant’s alloco poisson, crispy fried fish with caramelized plantains and jalapeño relish. Wrap the meal up with puff puffs, Nigerian mini-doughnuts, for dessert." - Zoe Baillargeon
