Inventive American diner with chic flourishes & brunch staples



























"This downtown breakfast spot maintains the all-day brunch diner tradition with some range: Alongside the biscuits and gravy and corned beef hash, the Daily Feast blends green smoothies, fills bowls with steel-cut oatmeal with berries, and slings plates of chilaquiles. Kids can opt for fresh-squeezed juices and can easily make a mini breakfast out of sides; plus, the restaurant offers an entryway bookshelf loaded with animal figurines that the kids can bring to the table, such as gorillas, giraffes, moose, elephants, and dinosaurs." - Rebecca Roland


"Easily Portland’s largest food festival and now in its eighth year, Feast is a four-day celebration of the world’s dining culture that attracts chefs from around the globe and stages more than 50 events — from massive main events and the extravaganza of grilled meats called Smoked to the boozy Brunch Village, drink tanks, classes, intimate dinners, and after-parties. In 2019 the festival felt bigger and busier than ever: the daytime main events were rebranded as The Big Feast and moved to a much larger venue at the Waterfront, the lineup included international talent such as Maksut Askar and David Thompson, and while many marquee dinners sell out within minutes there are still tickets for a number of events. For attendees, keeping track of locations, chefs, and tips can be a hot mess, so follow the Eater PDX Instagram for live updates and consider reading the primers on what’s available and what to expect." - Eater Staff

"A chic little cafe rocking retro diner vibes with its turquoise seating and island counter, the Daily Feast serves a large selection of brunch staples, including a pretty hefty breakfast burrito. There are a few selections, but for those looking for something especially meat-filled, there’s the three-meat burrito, with bacon, sausage, and ham, along with black beans, fluffy hash browns, poblano peppers, cheese, and, of course, scrambled eggs. Those who prefer their breakfast meat-free can find a similar burrito, but with spinach and mushrooms subbed in for the pork." - Ben Coleman


"Think of the Daily Feast as a more polished — but not unnecessarily fussy — take on a classic diner: The pancakes are thick and fluffy, the biscuits and gravy come with house-made biscuits, and the corned beef hash is gussied up with horseradish dijon sauce. The breakfast burritos are particularly nice, stuffed with roasted poblanos, hash browns, and plenty of scrambled eggs." - Zoe Baillargeon, Janey Wong

"With its checkered floors, vinyl booths, and horseshoe counter, The Daily Feast is clearly going for diner realness — the food served, however, goes far beyond the typical greasy spoon. Milkshakes are available in classic flavors like chocolate or vanilla, or as cocktails with flavors like White Russian or Whiskey Maple. Plates of fluffy buttermilk pancakes and house-made biscuits and gravy land at tables alongside smoked salmon scrambles and potato pancake eggs Benedict. And for lunch, servers deliver patty melts and BLTs with roasted sweet potato salads." - Eater Staff
