The Veggie Grill
(Photo credit: http://www.veggiegrill.com/)
Growing up on a vegetarian diet I'd had my fair share of veggie meats, tofu and soy products. Sure, I still ate meat here and there, but was totally comfortable with vegetarian products. Now, I know most carnivores cringe and run when they hear words like "tofu" and "veggie meat" but The Veggie Grill, a restaurant based out of southern California, can make any meat eater a serious veggie lover. I was so excited to see they had expanded to Oregon this last winter! Just looking at the picture above is making me hungry...
Rimsky Koraskoffee
Coffee shops are a dime a dozen in PDX. With that being said, I guarantee you've never had anything like Rimsky Koraskoffee. This place opens at 7pm and stays open late. It's stationed in an old two story house with creeky wood floors (and what I imagine to be a creepy basement underneath) and parlor-like place settings. A pianist plays old music on a tinny piano, and creepy old photographs hang on the walls. Known for their desserts, this place gets packed in the evenings and frequently runs out of the house-favorite, the Raspberry Chocolate Fool - a white chocolate mousse with raspberries and chocolate swirls. Before you leave, head on upstairs to check out the bathroom. I won't ruin it for you, but don't go in if you're at all jumpy. It's cash only, so come prepared.
