"Portland locals have long known that Langbaan is one of the best restaurants in town, even before the James Beard Foundation awarded it the title of Outstanding Restaurant in 2024. Though it’s tempting to fill up on the savory options, make sure to leave room for the rotating desserts at the end of the meal. One of the latest confections in spring 2025 is a ban binn, a palm rice mochi, pandan, rhubarb, and lime leaf. Reservations can be made with Tock." - Rebecca Roland
