Rooftop wine bar with city views & garden-fresh small plates
"Despite being only four floors above the hustle and bustle of East Burnside, Noble Rot’s classy dining room and cozy patio still feel like quiet, secluded oases in the heart of the city. Watching the sun sink behind the West Hills or listening to cars whizz by below, visitors sip on pours from the restaurant’s wine program and enjoy seasonal dishes featuring fresh produce from the rooftop garden. The best seat in the house is undoubtedly on the light-strung outdoor deck overlooking Burnside, but those who prefer the indoors can snag a banquette seat or table right by the windows." - Zoe Baillargeon
"Its balcony patio isn’t as large as most others in town, but that hasn’t kept the elegant wine bar and restaurant Noble Rot from being a rooftop mainstay in the city for years. Overlooking East Burnside with a view of the neighborhood and a peek of the river and downtown Portland, it’s a lovely spot to enjoy a flight of wine and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones over pan-seared duck breast with Savoy cabbage. Make a reservation online." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"As beloved for its stunning balcony view overlooking East Burnside as it is for its wine collection, Noble Rot makes for an excellent date night, especially in warmer months. Aside from its bountiful wine selection, which has earned it a James Beard nomination for outstanding wine program, the upscale restaurant grows produce on the rooftop, which goes into much of the menu. Walk-ins are welcome, but making a reservation is the best way to go, especially for larger parties or during the summer." - Zoe Baillargeon
"Despite being only four floors above the hustle and bustle of East Burnside, Noble Rot’s classy dining room and cozy patio still manage to feel like quiet, secluded oases in the heart of the city. Watching the sun sink behind the West Hills or listening to cars whizz by below, visitors sip on pours from the restaurant’s James Beard Award-nominated wine program and enjoy seasonal dishes that utilize fresh produce from the rooftop garden. The best seat in the house is undoubtedly on the outdoor deck overlooking Burnside, strung with lights and full of lush greenery. Those who prefer the indoors can snag a seat at one of the sleek banquette tables right by the window." - Zoe Baillargeon
"I’ve found Noble Rot can be quiet at certain times, but it’s hard to ensure a place won’t get busy; when you make a reservation, explicitly ask for a quiet table and servers will often try to accommodate you." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
