The Best New Restaurants in Portland, June 2025 | Eater Portland

"Napoleon and Anthony Tzakis grew up in their parents’ Greek restaurants and in December, after a long road, finally opened their own restaurant in North Tabor, which they hope will keep Greek cuisine alive and kicking in Portland. The menu is heavy on mezze and familiar, classic dishes like souvlaki — but don’t sleep on the whole sea bass with Greek chimichurri. There’s also a cocktail menu that utilizes Greek spirits like mastika, ouzo, and tsipouro." - Zoe Baillargeon

The Best Restaurants in Portland, Oregon’s North Tabor Neighborhood | Eater Portland

"Greek culinary traditions meet Pacific Northwest ingredients at this neighborhood taverna gathering spot. Run by siblings Anthony, Napoleon, and Katerina Tzakis, who grew up in a restaurant-owning family within the Portland Greek community, Tréla’s solid menu of crowd-pleasing Greek favorites stems from passed-down family recipes. Start with a trio of dips — choosing from an assortment including creamy hummus and zesty tyrokafteri with roasted red pepper and feta, served with fragrant, fluffy pita — before moving on to mains like seared Pacific sea bass, hefty slabs of layered pastitsio, and crunchy calamari. The street food selection of skewers and wraps makes for a great lunch, and brunch blends classic recipes with Mediterranean influences like feta-and-spinach frittatas and pistachio French toast. For drinks, there’s Greek wine, spirits, and Mythos beer." - Zoe Baillargeon

Food: Fantastic! I’d been wanting to try this place and I’m glad that I did! The flavors are well done and the variety is great for a menu that isn’t too big. If you like pita then you HAVE to try theirs! It’s warm and aromatic and I can’t wait to try a gyro wrapped up in that tastiness. Service: Their staff is great. I sat at the bar, but I also saw how the staff were with other patrons and everyone was tended to. Atmosphere: This place has an inviting family feel, while also feeling upscale and featuring updated decor. It was clean and enjoyable.

If I could eat at only one portland restaurant for the remaining years of my life, it would be this one. We've have come only a handful of times but they got life long customers. The service is A1. Never have we had a rude server or bad service. FOH is so great at explaing dishes and patient with us trying not to butcher the dish names. BOH I hope your pillows are cool everytime you lay your heads on them. You deserve forehead kisses for how amazing the dishes taste. From the appetizers to the mains its so freaking good!!

This is the most authentic and incredible Greek food I’ve had apart from at my family’s table. Certainly the best in Portland. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection, the portions were good sizes and the food came out quickly considering the restaurant was quite busy. I couldn’t recommend this place enough and will be coming back soon!

Food is good and servers are friendly. It does get quite loud when it’s full, but that’s most places in Portland. The highlights of our meal were the crispy zucchini with tzatziki and the brown butter orzo. The steak had a nice flavor, but it was overcooked. We also tried the three dip sampler. The best dip was the red pepper one.

Wonderful food and great service. The server realized it was our first time visiting, so he had great recommendations. We tried the Spanakopita (delicious), a gyro (large portion of well flavored chicken), the saganaki cheese (smelled delectable), and the calamari (tasted fresh and not rubbery, but could have been crunchier. Great taste though!). Overall great food. The atmosphere was very comfortable and fitting of the Greek aesthetic with the music and decor. I definitely recommend!

First time there, food came quickly was very tasty, everything we had was good, except for the spanakopita, it had good taste the only thing was the filo wasn't crispy when it came out and center was kinda cold. Everything else Fantastic!! Our server was especially good !

Wonderful experience. Immaculate vibes. Brings me back to Greece with every bite. Hostess, Bartender, and Servers were very helpful and warm. 100/10 recommend. They had a special dish of rabbit that was delicious, it was clear the chef knew what they were doing and took their time cultivating the dish to perfection. The drink menu was expansive and the espresso martini was divine. Excited to see this restaurant grow. Definitely coming back ASAP!!!!

Had a really great evening visiting Trela kitchen. Having recently opened I was excited to give them a try and obviously the reviews speak for themselves. Came in on a Friday evening, which was bustling and busy, so would recommend a reservation. Ambiance was great. It was lively and well decorated with lovely antique art as well as more modern paint colors and tile work. Energy overall was nice, with families galore and a homey feel. It was rather loud so just consider that, maybe not a first date spot. Food was a hit and more unique compared to some Mediterranean places I’ve been. It’s really focused on Greek fair specifically. We tried the 3 dips which were all fantastic and went well with other dishes in the meal. The sausage also happened to be a standout along with the oh so fresh pita bread. The bechamel noodle dish was tasty, and a great portion, but was a little hit one note by the end of the dish. Skewers were tasty but also could have maybe had a bit more seasoning to really pop with flavor. All in all though everything was tasty and felt fresh which I appreciated and the 4 dishes were perfect size for us. Happy to see a new spot thriving in town and would certainly go back! Some of the dishes probably warrant larger groups and would be best for sharing.

Wow this place is fantastic! Everyone was very friendly, food was delicious and authentic, large portions, and fairly priced. Everything tasted super fresh as well. This is a great spot to go to if you get a craving for Greek food. Cute aesthetic and easy parking was also a plus!

A great place to get a full Greek restaurant experience (not just gyros). Came here for dinner and the place is huge and contemporary, and my server was very nice. I felt overall the food was solid, but there were a few notes that could help it improve. That's why my review is more 4.5 stars but we can't do half stars here. So gave it 5 stars because I think the overall experience is great. Here's what I ate: Tzatziki as a starter, comes with pita bread. Definitely has the garlic flavor and thick and creamy. I enjoyed it. Grilled octopus with fava puree. I thought the octopus was cooked perfectly, really tender with a slight char from the grill. The only downside was the fava puree underneath was ice cold. I wished it was warm like the octopus. Gemista or stuffed pepper. This is one of my favorite homestyle Greek dish, and I even make it at home sometimes. This is one yellow bellpepper stuffed with rice. The bell pepper was perfectly cooked where it was tender but still firm. The rice filling was a bit bland, but that wasn't a problem because the table has this bottle of Greek sea salt. (Initially I thought it was a tiny bottle of yogurt because of the white color.) Ekmek or lemon cake, which I wasn't planning to order dessert because I was pretty full. But I was tempted. They have a lot of dessert options. This was nice but the cake was soaked so it felt heavier instead of a light cake, and didn't have a strong lemon flavor. It was topped with kataifi, which is the shredded phyllo dough. I also had a glass of assyrtiko with dinner. They had a nice selection of Greek wine as well as others. These are authentic flavors of Greek dishes presented in a modern way. Solid taverna in Portland.

4.5 stars! The fish and calamari were superb! I'd recommend getting those every time. The cocktails were refreshing and delightful. The steak was good but a bit pricey for the amount. I wouldn't recommend the potatoes as they were too lemony. But everything else hit the spot! Our waitress was amazing and brought out dessert wines which was a fantastic end to a fantastic meal!

I can praise this - found by accident - Greek inspired restaurant enough. Really authentic recipes (oh yes the tzatziki is the original from my uncle) and hell you can taste it. We drove by this corner one day and it looked nice so I'll opened yelp and there it said Greek Mediterranean restaurant. I had to try. Being grown in Europe we had always Greek dishes and restaurants. My parents often took me to Greece for vacation. So yes I'll know how it should taste. And when you go to tréla (means madness or crazy in English) you will too. It's so good everything is so well and original seasoned. But it is seasoned correct! To taste and not just some oregano since it is Mediterranean food. No it actual taste like it just came from a family grill out of the backyard. Come here and you will feel welcomed family style and you leave full with a virtuell hug! Enjoy and thank me later.

An easy location just of 84 and parking isn't difficult in the neighborhood--win! We were trying to find a restaurant that could seat 12 and could accommodate a number of food intolerances. This is a great spot for both! We were able to make a reservation for 12 the night before. The only disappointment was that they were serving a brunch menu on Saturday and we were really looking forward to their regular menu (brunch menu on the weekends until 2:30). The restaurant has a great vibe and the service was phenomenal--everyone was very friendly and appropriately attentive. The brunch menu had some Greek twists on some Classics, like a spanakopita Benedict. They had some Greek-inspired cocktails. I had the Bloody Mary and it was good and spicy! I ordered the meat and cheese platter which had lots of hard cheese and ham and a cured meat, as well as some grapes and strawberries and olives. The grapes were past their prime. I enjoyed the rest. Everyone liked their food, but we'll have to find a time to come back for Greek food.

We were having a hard time finding a good Greek restaurant in Portland after our move here. Our search is over. Trela is the spot. Service is top notch. The ambiance is amazing. The food and cocktails were outstanding. Trela!!

What a great experience! We decided to dine at Trela for my husband's birthday. The interior is modern but also warm and inviting. Service was excellent, friendly without being overly intrusive. I started out with a coffee martini, which was excellent and my husband had a gin, cucumber and lemon drink, I don't recall the name, but he enjoyed it. For appetizers, we had the crispy zucchini, which was unbelievable, super thin and very lightly battered, with an excellent creamy tzatziki sauce. We also got the flaming cheese, which was really cool as they light it up tableside. It happened really fast, so I wasn't able to get a picture. It's a Greek cheese, Kefalotiri, which was so incredibly delicious, very rich and chewy. For our entrees, we both chose the cabbage rolls with green beans. The cabbage rolls were stuffed with meat and a bit of rice, and then topped with a creamy sauce. They were very tasty, but a bit heavy on the dill, which isn't my favorite spice. They were very good, though. The green beans were mixed with roasted tomatoes and were extremely flavorful. After dinner, they give you a small digestive. It was tasty and a nice touch. We're very eager to return to try more of their wonderful food.

It seems out of place in this part of town, but that's a good thing. Time to raise the bar. Long wait, but efficient. Thankfully they go non-Portland old school and take reservations. The Niko Staffili cocktail was a light, very refreshing. And the Keetro Eleexiro mocktail was super delish! The drink menu is overall very creative. Saganaki and ample size Spanakopita were par for the course. The orzo was ample, love the cheese. The Sea Bass was a big hit: flakey with crispy skin, well worth it. Of the five dessert options, four were filo-dough based, so maybe a little more variety is in order. We enjoyed the one with custard. They take a slight drop with tea and coffee as it's low grade Stash brand and regular drip. I wish they'd offer a Persian/Turkish-style coffee. Bar and hostess service was friendly during a crowded evening. * Be careful when parking right out front on Glisan! Vehicles turning right or left from 60th may not see you. If they do then they might need to stop in the crowded intersection. Prices are very fair for the portion and the overall experience. This place is a winner!

Saw this place on TikTok and had to give it a try. Parking around here is a little tricky so I'm glad we booked an early reservation. The interior is charming and welcoming, the hostess very polite, and our server Theodora was lovely. We ordered from the appetizer dips option and got the trio of tzatziki, tyrokafteri, and taramosalata, which were divine. In addition, saganaki, also delicious, as well as the calamari and Ouzo prawns. The calamari was not the best I've ever had but the prawns were delicious. The lemon potatoes could be a little crispier. Be careful to not fill up on pita and their dips (like I did!) I'm eager to return to try the sea bass and lamb chops.

My dining partner and I were lucky that there was space at the bar for us since all their tables were full and they were only taking those with reservations. The decor was cozy and food smelled amazing. Bartender was very personable and told us what the most popular dishes were since it was our 1st time here. Next to us several tables ordered the a flaming cheese appetizer which created some excitement in the room. I got a nice beer and my friend enjoyed their old fashion with our food. The chicken kebab was very tender and our preference. The fish was really tasty. I really enjoyed the kale that came with it. I love veggies and they were cooked perfectly. I am planning to introduce this place to my other friends so you'll be seeing me again.

We made a dinner reservation for 5:30. We had a nice table along the wall. My partner ordered a holiday ale and I ordered a glass of the Semeli Feast Red Agiorgitiko. It was a healthy pour complimenting the entire food experience. We love mezzes! We chose a 3 dip combo; Hummus, Melitzanosalata, and Tramasalata. So good, I wish we tried all 6 options! The star mezze was of course the Saganaki which is a Kefalotiri cheese artfully flambéed at your tableside. Loved it! So fun. We also ordered the lamb chops, calamari, and orzo mizithra. All amazing but we could not finish as we filled up on the starters. Everything was perfect for sharing and will make for exciting leftovers. Outstanding service. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! Great for dates, would be fun for larger groups and families too.

The feigned sweetness of the woman greeting customers is obviously fake. The eatery is dimly lighted. The woman said the tables are reserved and directed us to the bar. There were only two of us and we don't even drink alcohol. There were two empty tables behind us which were still empty by the time we leave, which made me wonder why she seated us to the bar. There were also some empty tables on the other area of the place. We ordered lamb and calamari. The tiny calamari were greasy. The lamb was small and hardly any meat in it. Definitely not worth the money they are charging. We won't be back, ever! I left a decent tip just because the server is attentive and friendly.

So happy Trela exists. There was such a void of true Greek restaurants after the last generation retired and storied restaurants closed. Now thanks to the amazing family behind Trela beautifully prepared Greek food is back. From drinks to dessert they have it covered. The staff is young, friendly and doing a great job. The food comes out from the kitchen hot and delicious. From the spreads (the Tzatziki is 100% on point!) Saganaki and other starters are great and the Ouzo Garides Saganaki is not to be missed. We had two orders of Calamari this time we just couldn't get enough. Finished with Bougatsa and ouzo, we all left full and happy. Do yourself a favor grab some friends and get yourself to Trela.

Newer spot with tasty cocktails and food worth trying. The Ouzo Garides Saganaki (prawns in ouzo tomato sauce) was delicious, while the Lahanodolmathes (stuffed cabbage) was a bit dry and tart. Two of three dips were flavorful- enjoyed the Melitzanosalata and Tramasalata, while the hummus lacked flavor. We tried 2 desserts, Galaktobouriko and Bougatsa- they both were very mild desserts, not too sweet but also not packing much of a punch in the flavor department. Service seemed to still be finding its footing- friendly but 3 different people asked the same question on multiple occasions. I'd return to try again after they have settled in a bit more.

Outstanding food and service at the newly opened Trela. To begin, the three-dip combo is a must. We ordered the melitzanosalata (smoky eggplant), the scordalia (garlic and potato), and the taramasalata (Greek caviar). All delicious, and accompanied by the best homemade pita bread we've ever tasted. The plate of calamari was generous and heavily spiced, as were the succulent pork souvlaki skewers. We were somewhat less pleased with the paldakla (grilled lamb chops), though no real complaints. For desert we shared a bougatsa (flaky phyllo pastry stuffed with creamy custard). Clearly, the breads and pastries made by Trela's bakers are worth ordering, even going out of your way to try. We look forward to exploring more of Trela's menu. Truly lovely ambiance, well-appointed tables and booths, with the exciting air of a good Greek restaurant (including one our favorites, Greek Islands in Chicago).

Fantastic food and ambiance! We had a new server, 2nd day on the job and he did great. Attentive and nice and git our food out quickly. The food here is incredible, solid Greek food. We tried something from every section of the menu, the cabbage meat rolls being a crowd favorite. Pork skewers were also very tasty and tender. Flambé' cheese is a must order for the table. Love what they've turned this place into. Beautiful all gender restrooms too.

I was excited to try this new Greek restaurant, so ended up taking my parents here for a belated Mother's Day dinner. We ordered a few appetizers to start off with - the saganaki cheese, roasted eggplant, and hummus. The saganaki was our favorite - they light it on fire in front of you, so it's fun and tasty. The eggplant was sort of bland - I guess I'm used to something a little creamier with tahini? And the hummus was WAY too garlicky - like wake up in the middle of the night needing to use mouthwash amount of garlic. I like garlic, but... too much. For mains, we got the chicken souvlaki, pork souvlaki, stuffed peppers, and pastitsio. Everything was ok - I'm gluten free so can't have the pita or pastitsio; husband said it was just ok. My mom liked the peppers, but thought it was a little bland. The pork souvlaki was wildly dried out - like, not edible type of dried out / overcooked. The chicken was good, but nothing special... could make it at home. Overall, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was cute, but the food was too hit or miss for me that I don't think we will be back anytime soon.

Wow! So glad I hopped on Yelp today to find breakfast in an area of Portland I am unfamiliar with. Tréla was superb in all categories. Immediately got a table Restaurant NOT noisy or echoing. Waiter, Kelsey (sp?), could not have been more helpful, patient (w/ my chatter & questions) & came back to check that I still wanted to order the special he so delightfully described since I was still reading the menu over when he returned. There were so many things that sounded delicious on the brunch menu. I still went for the special which was a salmon benedict. It was sublime. Thick, perfectly prepared crab cakes, just the right amount of steamed spinach & sliced tomato as the base, the eggs were poached correctly and the hollandaise was creamy & buttery with just a little zing in it! Again, wow! I will return as this is the kind of place you treat someone special to.

Yay! Portland has full-menu Greek food again! Trela is an excellent Greek bistro, with tasty meze and Greek classics. Definitely order the saganaki, dips, house-made pita, giant beans, and salads. Regardless of menu section, most dishes are effectively sharing plates; order 2 per person. They have a very good selection of Greek wines, including multiple choices by the glass, as well as ouzo, tsipouro, and Mastikas. They've also done a beautiful job with the interior, it's charming and very thematic. The staff are very experienced, especially for a new restaurant, and will stay on top of your needs. Despite the amount of seating, though, I recommend reservations until the holiday season is over.

Went last night with a group of 8 on a friend's recommendation. Food and service were excellent! Must have the whole fish! Lamb, zucchini, orzo, shrimp, souvlaki, calamari, steak and all vegetables were absolutely delicious! Drinks were great and the Adonis was one of my favorites. Great selection. Definitely share everything. The interior was very beautiful. Superb job at renovating! Last time I was in that building it was Biddy McGraws. If I had one suggestion, it would be that the food needs to be much warmer. Already planning our next visit!

We recently went to Trela with friends and it was a wonderful experience all around!! Definitely recommend making a reservation as it was completely full. We walked right in and sat down with our reservation. I think it would be best done family style like we did so you can try a lot of dishes. We did the dip trio (hummus, Tyrokafteri, Scordalia), the saganaki, Lahanodolmathes, chicken souvlaki, Galaktobouriko and baklava. We also got cocktails which were delicious! The dip trio was good- I would skip the scordalia next time since it was more like a cold potato dish but the other two were amazing. The pita was so unique and cooked in house- highly recommend!! The saganaki was such a fun treat and the chicken souvlaki was cooked to perfection. I would skip the lahanodolmathes last time- I wanted something like grape leaves but didn't quite hit the spot. The desserts were top notch, I'd order them both again!! Service was wonderful too- they gave us complimentary Greek ice wine to try at the end of dinner too which was above and beyond!! Can't wait to go back and try some more dishes.

I'm so glad to welcome a new restaurant into the neighborhood. We tried a variety of items from the menu and didn't taste a single bad thing. The food tasted fresh and was presented well. The service was sincere and attentive. The ambiance was lovely: white, wood and gentle lighting. We would welcome a larger variety of non alcoholic or kid friendly beverages in the future.

Let's hope they get it together. It started so weird with "you can't have the two-top right next to the one we're pointing at because of 'a reservation'" when it was the same table just not next to the kitchen door, and we also had a reservation. That made no sense, and that table sat empty through our meal. The food was under-seasoned to the point of being unpalatable. We had to literally stop a server physically to get our check. It's a new place in our neighborhood. We really wanted it to be good. It was not. I would happily try again in a few months, but I fear they'll be gone by then at this rate.

First off, it has a nice, open floor plan, with white walls and warm wood paneling, that makes it feel welcoming. Second, the wait staff is friendly! They actually asked us about our preferences, offered suggestions and actively engaged. That is so rare these days! The food was excellent. I'm not an expert on Greek inspired food, but everything we ordered, from the wine to the cabbage rolls were delicious, and we'll return to find out what else we might love. Our east side location will benefit from this bright new addition with its quality presentation and welcome ambiance! Go check this out!

Super quaint homie feel inside and phenomenal food! The staff were attentive and very kind. We ordered the fried zucchini which were super thin and served on top of a fresh taziki sauce...oh and it was nearly a full zucchini so be prepared to share. I ordered the chicken skewers with a side or pita and both were so tender and delish! I will be back again to try more.

Amazing! We went tonight a Friday with 8 adults and 4 teens (with a reservation)... Wonderful service and delicious food. We couldn't believe this used to be our old favorite dive bar Biddys ;) We also thought for a new restaurant everything ran exceptionally smoothly. We can't wait to come back whether for takeout or sit down. We also thought everything was reasonably priced too which is rare these days. Yum! Thanks Trela!

Finally open! Live up the street and have been wondering if the Greek restaurant would ever open. It's hopping, but not super loud. Nice vibe for a new place. Staff are helpful and service is prompt. I can't spell the dishes we had, but the shrimp, green beans, and the pasta dish were all very good. Coming back on Friday.

Front of the house working fine, very good service, timely drinks and food order. Nice atmosphere. The food comes out fast but just isn't very good. Potato and garlic "dip" is cold mashed potatoes. Calamari under seasoned, accompanying dip resembled sour cream, perhaps intended to be tzatziki but not even close. 3 black olives and horrible tomatoes in the Greek salad. Okay feta. Shrimp dish closest to on point flavor. Trela badly needs a more talented kitchen. Won't return, sadly, Eleni's still the only game in town for Greek.

Came here a few weeks ago with my wife. I cook a lot of Greek food and grew up eating it. This was as authentic as it gets in Portland. Wonderful experience and reminded me of Athens. I highly recommend this place! Trelathika!

Aside from kebab places and a not-so-great place in the Pearl, Portland has been crying out for an authentic Greek place for ages, so it was with some trepidation that we heard about and booked Trela. Would we be disappointed? Would they be scared to load on the garlic? Did someone tell them Americans won't eat lamb? I'm happy to say the whole experience went beyond our wildest hopes and given the amount of people on a Sunday night, Portland has been waiting a long time for something this good. The food was delicious (hummus, pita, Lamb gyro, Lamb chops, fasolia, baklava, even bougatsa - not sure I've ever seen that in a Greek restaurant in the US?) - because the chef is not afraid of punchy Greek flavors. Wonderful drinks too, lovely, sweet staff and an ambiance that - almost - feels like a taverna. Coming back to try the prawns, the pastitsio, the Loukaniko and the orzo.

What a wonderful dining experience I had with my husband this evening. The food was too notch. We had the Saganaki, Melitzanosalata, traditional Greek Salad, and the Calamari. Everything was delicious. I grew up eating Greek food from one place in Eugene (Poppi's) and the food my father cooked (Pastitsio is a staple dish in our family). I'm no expert but I can tell you that we left so satisfied and happy. We had great conversations with the owner and the staff. Will definitely be going back. 12/10 recommend!

Fabulous Greek food with many appetizers, salads and mains - everything super fresh (and reasonably priced- hope it stays that way). We got hot pita with three dips including taramosalata and skordalia, lamb chops, orzo, saganaki that came flaming in ouzo, fried zucchini, green beans in tomato sauce, loukaniko. And there were four desserts (hot and delicious and fresh - we had bougatsa). This place will do well, I think, as it was packed.

Great owners, welcoming staff, beautiful space, convenient location, and fantastic food. We've eaten at Trela three times in just over a month. Every time we raved about the fresh salads, yummy entrees, and low prices. This is a gem. However, it fills up fast. So, highly recommend reservations. Enjoy!

The menu selection is very good with starters, small plates and entrees. Great selection of desserts too. The lemon cake with cream topping and lemon zest was delicious!!! I can't wait to return!

Absolutely delish. A stunning dining room and bar. Is it weird to say the bathrooms are cool too? The food was incredible- the bread salad is like a Greek bruschetta. I'll come back just for that! Dips were great, yummy cocktails, steak, and fish. Gotta figure out how to get a whole tray of the baklava to take home next time!

We visit Greece frequently and have really missed having a Greek restaurant in Portland that serves traditional Greek dishes. Trela is perfect. We had an appetizer, three shared plate entrees, a bottle of wine and two desserts and the tab was $100. It's great fresh food and excellent service. They topped off our meal with complimentary digestifs - which is very Greek. We'll be back soon!!

What a delightful dinner experience. Homey vibes, classic Greek food that you crave- yet elevated by great ingredients and a light touch. You can taste the care that went into the food and this whole place. Drinks, delicious. Dessert, shhhh so good. Service, over the moon. Portland gained a good spot.
