Café Nell
This little bistro in Nob Hill is both cozy and sophisticated. Large portions of comfort food range from breakfast omelets and oysters on the half shell to pot roast and grilled trout, while happy hour means classic cocktails, frites, soup and a cheese plate.

Simpatica Dining Hall
One of Portland's most popular Sunday brunch spots (hello fried chicken and waffles!) also serves great prix fixe dinners. Make new friends at long communal tables, which hold braised meats, sweet soups and rustic pastries – all made with seasonally appropriate ingredients and served family-style.

Laurelhurst Market
Hugely vegetarian-unfriendly is this hip and meaty spot, where grass-fed steaks, pork chops, briskets and mussels frites (!) dominate the menu. Or try the popular and excellent bacon cheeseburger with white cheddar and aioli – yum. Just be prepared to wait; no reservations for parties under six. There's also a small butcher counter selling quality meats and great lunchtime sandwiches.
