These 22 Longstanding Restaurants Are Keeping Old Portland Alive
"Frequent visitors of Mt. Hood will likely recognize the Alpine-themed facade of this Gresham restaurant, off Northeast Burnside on the way to the mountain. In 1968, the late Don and Marie Eklund founded Heidi’s as a drive-in, eventually rebuilding the restaurant into a sprawling homage to Marie’s Swiss roots. Breakfasts here involve Swedish pancakes and cheese blintzes; at dinner, regulars dunk bread into fondue ahead of wienerschnitzel, cabbage rolls, or liver and onions. Stroll through the delightfully kitschy gift shop on the way out." - Heather Arndt Anderson, Krista Garcia
