PoMo’s Country Brunch – May 20th

Filed in: Events

Brunch.

What’s a better way to spend a lazy yet fun weekend morning than with savory egg dishes, decadent treats, delicious cocktails, and of course laughs with friends? (Related side note: my friend Meg got me hooked on the “table cake” idea where you share an order of something sweet so you don’t miss out on pancakes or waffles but also don’t get a sugar high – genius.)

In a top-notch brunch city like Portland, you know an event all about brunch has got to be good. Hence the enthusiasm for Portland Monthly’s 6th Annual Country Brunch. I have never been and am always experiencing serious FOMO when I see people’s social media accounts that morning, kicking myself that I didn’t get tickets.

Summer is quickly approaching (it is, right? Please tell me yes, I can’t handle much more of this winter!), and with that comes the perfect opportunity to frolic through Portland, whether you are a local enjoying the Portland bounty or a tourist checking out all this hipster city has to offer. But how to cram it all in with incredible nearby hiking, glorious farmer’s markets, and so many good coffee shops, breweries, bakeries and restaurants?!

In order to help ease this task, last year I wrote up a two part Best of Portland Tour post (re-read Part I and Part II now!) with my favorites by neighborhood. Given the never ending change ups in the Portland restaurant scene, it seemed about right to do a 2017 version of my Best of Portland restaurants. So here we go! Continue Reading...
