Cute packaging featuring the restaurant’s signature eye-catching food print Janey WongAt the Indonesian-Chinese inspired restaurant Gado Gado (the name was plucked from the salad dish of the same name, which is a hallmark of Indonesian cuisine), bartender Scout Caldwell switches up menus to keep cocktails seasonal-ish. Two of the current menu’s cocktails include nods to

Tiny bubbles in a glass Janey Wong
At face value, Tiny Bubble Room looks like a craft beer taproom verging on dive-y, but the painstakingly restored bar has so many more layers than that. The name was carried over from the lounge of the previous tenant of 50+ years, Lung Fung Chinese restaurant. The original signage and facade of the restaurant has also been preserved with some minor tweaks and a fresh coat of paint paying homage to the building’s history.
Co-owners Jeremy Lewis and Quyen Ly opened Tiny Bubble Room the new and improved version in October 2020. The pair also own the Montavilla gem Roscoe’s, and with Bubble Room, they’re wanting to provide the same kind of low key watering hole/beer nerd destination/community meeting point for the Kenton, Arbor Lodge, and Mock’s Crest neighborhoods. This summer, Ly plans to introduce his sushi bar Miyamoto in the adjacent space which house

“Millions of peaches, peaches for me!” Janey Wong Part restaurant, bar, market, bakery, and café, Elephant’s Delicatessen is a food lover’s playground or an indecisive person’s nightmare.

In this respect, Tanzer was a pioneer. She passed away last fall at the age of 77, leaving behind a legacy that includes eight Elephant’s Deli locations.

Nicholas’ gorgeous new bar greets visitors upon arrival Janey Wong Longtime Portlanders may remember when Nicholas Restaurant introduced the city to Lebanese-Mediterranean food back in 1987. Nicholas and Linda Dibe fled war-torn Beirut five years prior, leaving good jobs to secure their family’s safety and future. Faced with a language barrier, they began selling Greek food, pizzas, and calzones out of a rundown tavern they had purchased, and eventually added home-cooked Lebanese dishes to the menu.
The original location on SE Grand recently closed its doors to start a new chapter in the space that was once long occupied by Madison’s Bar & Grill. Not to worry, menu favorites like lamb shawarma and beef kafta kabobs haven’t gone anywhere. Neither has the fresh bread (with oil and za’atar for dipping) that hits your table as soon as you’re seated, although a new stone pizza oven has repl
