"A Portland institution for over a century, the glamorous but informal Besaw’s restaurant is serving some classic Pacific Northwest dishes for Portland Dining Month, with vegetarian selections available for each course, including harissa and polenta stuffed squash for the main. Meat eaters will likely enjoy the coq au vin with duck fat-roasted potatoes, though. For $17 guests can add a wine pairing, rounding out the meal while still keeping it under budget." - Alex Frane
