The Best Celebration Restaurants in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Mount Tabor’s favorite neighborhood restaurant, Coquine has long landed on Portland’s best-of lists for the way it balances Michelin-caliber cooking with a warm, unpretentious spirit — making it a tasty celebration restaurant for those looking for something special without the snootiness. Yes, you can begin meals with real-deal Champagne, oysters on the half shell, and smoked trout roe — but you can follow it up with a simple, delicious roast chicken, served with a green garlic soubise and crispy mushroom rice. Dessert can go either way: tonka bean semifreddo or house-made candies and cookies. Tasting menus are $90 for five courses, or you can order a la carte. Make a reservation online beforehand." - Michelle Lopez
