The 38 Essential Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland

"Farm-to-table is likely the most pervasive of the Portland culinary cliches; every restaurant in town touts some version of its ethos, name-dropping a few farms or grabbing a few seasonal items from the farmers market. But Pasture owners Kei Ohdera and HJ Schaible take their emphasis on responsible sourcing to a new level, seeking out and developing relationships with regenerative farms for whole-animal butchery inside the restaurant. The result: Straight-up delicious sandwiches, ranging from beef mortadella to achingly tender pastrami, served with house pickled peppers. It’s not just walking the walk of sustainability; it’s making it feel approachable (and delicious)." - Eater Staff
