"Gabriella Casabianca singles out the steak tartare: she says she “loved the steak tartare.” She also praises the venue’s vibe, calling the design “old school” and adding that “you rarely see a new face, and I love that about them.”" - Thom Hilton
"When it opened in 2009, East Burnside’s Laurelhurst Market was emblematic of the current state of Portland dining, celebrating whole animal butchery and in-house everything. The market’s butcher shop supplied the restaurant with then-uncommon cuts like culottes and cured things like bacon and charcuterie. Fifteen years later, Laurelhurst remains a bastion of truly inventive steakhouse fare, yuzu-mustard jus adding zip to marinated hanger steaks or pickled green garlic cutting the richness of a grilled New York strip. Visitors should go for the wonderfully intricate (but not overly complicated) starters and salads — perhaps crispy maitake mushrooms with miso green goddess and marinated cucumber, or a harvest salad balancing pickle-y acidity with hazelnut romesco. Another must: the skillet-crisp cornbread with whipped lardo and rosemary honey." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
"One of the earlier restaurants to go all-in on outdoor dining, lauded steakhouse and butcher counter Laurelhurst Market fully renovated its parking lot. Now, it has a sprawling wooden patio with tented tables in the summer and a full cover in the colder months, and offers table service to enjoy its high-quality steak dinners, cocktails, and wine." - Thom Hilton
"One of the city’s most celebrated steakhouses is also a fantastic sandwich shop. During the day, this restaurant opens the butcher shop and deli to serve an array of sandwiches utilizing Laurelhurst Market’s quality meats. The house BLT served on como bread is a surefire pleaser with heirloom tomatoes and arugula. However, the restaurant’s smoked pork loin — slathered with apricot mostarda and herb mayo — is an underrated stunner." - Alex Frane
"Laurelhurst Market is considered one of the city’s top steakhouses for a reason: Everyone, from busser to bartender, is incredibly knowledgeable about the beef, from the conditions of the cows to the intricacies of the cuts. The steaks are paired with gorgeous accoutrements; the marinated and grilled hanger steak is served with celery root puree and yuzu mustard jus while the grilled New York strip comes with a charred tomatillo and avocado puree." - Ben Coleman
