The Best Restaurants to Eat and Drink Around the Buckman Neighborhood in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Although cider houses have struggled to maintain their footing in the Portland taproom scene, the demand for the alcoholic beverage lives on, as dozens of local companies still manufacture cans and taps of it for breweries as a gluten-free option; Bauman’s Cider has decided to challenge this history by serving a compelling food menu alongside its award-winning ciders. Backed by accomplished Portland culinary pros (Daniel Green, formerly of Cafe Olli, and Chris Leimena from Le Pigeon/Canard), the offerings showcase simple ideas with thoughtful execution. A creamy Bleu d’Auvergne dip accompanies a plate of Ruffles potato chips, and a sourdough offering toggles between flatbreads, focaccias, and loaves. Hype usually revolves around the monthly pizza offering, a singular day in which Bauman’s on Oak transcends into “pizza on oak,” serving wood-fired Neapolitan-inspired pizzas decorated with ingredients like Dungeness crab and seasonal produce." - Katrina Yentch
