Ataula

Top choice in Portland


This critically acclaimed Spanish tapas restaurant offers outstanding cuisine. If these are on the menu, try the nuestras bravas (sliced, fried potatoes in milk aioli), croquetas (salt-cod fritters), xupa xup (chorizo 'lollipop') and ataula montadito (salmon with mascarpone yogurt and black-truffle honey). Great cocktails, too. Be sure to reserve.
