"Greek culinary traditions meet Pacific Northwest ingredients at this neighborhood taverna gathering spot. Run by siblings Anthony, Napoleon, and Katerina Tzakis, who grew up in a restaurant-owning family within the Portland Greek community, Tréla’s solid menu of crowd-pleasing Greek favorites stems from passed-down family recipes. Start with a trio of dips — choosing from an assortment including creamy hummus and zesty tyrokafteri with roasted red pepper and feta, served with fragrant, fluffy pita — before moving on to mains like seared Pacific sea bass, hefty slabs of layered pastitsio, and crunchy calamari. The street food selection of skewers and wraps makes for a great lunch, and brunch blends classic recipes with Mediterranean influences like feta-and-spinach frittatas and pistachio French toast. For drinks, there’s Greek wine, spirits, and Mythos beer." - Zoe Baillargeon
