Southern goodness found in the north is something of a rarity, but this Portland biscuit outlet nails it. Fresh ingredients from the local Portland Farmers Market and a little passion for food is the best recipe for a wonderful meal. At Pine State Biscuits there are many sweets to chose from, including their legendary in-house cream-topped buttermilk biscuits with gravy.

Petite Provence

What better way to start off the day than at a quaint French bistro on the corner of Portland’s cool and buzzing Alberta? What started as an idea by a group of friends exploded into a Portland-own brand of restaurants that all encompass a French boulangerie and patisserie in one. It serves the finest pastries in the area. All the locals rave about Petite Provence and it is a must to head in and try one of their warm, baked goods.
