"The dazzling selection of layer cakes on display might be Papa Haydn’s calling card, though this Portland mainstay with locations on both sides of the river also has a robust savory menu with a standout French onion soup. Papa Haydn’s version is quintessential, house-made beef stock teeming with caramelized onions, layered with a crostini smothered in melty Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. It’s best followed by a slice of cake, or course." - Krista Garcia
