The Best Restaurants on Belmont Street in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Brunch enthusiasts seeking hearty classics like omelets and hashes will flock to Cricket Cafe, a sister restaurant to Jam on Hawthorne. Cricket doesn’t skimp out on servings — breakfast burritos arrive stuffed with breakfast meats alongside a hefty pile of roasted potatoes. Sizzling personal skillets come bearing roasted vegetables and eggs, while sweeter options like the buttermilk pancakes and honey cinnamon French toast get a dose of cardamom maple butter on the side. Cricket Cafe isn’t trying trail blaze; instead, it aims to satisfy that post-hangover, post-farmers market itch for a comforting and calorie-dense weekend brunch. And if the food hasn’t met that expectation yet, then perhaps a menu featuring several vegan Bloody Marys will do just that." - Katrina Yentch
