Best Bistros in Southwest Portland

Twice a year some old friends from Chicago visit their son & his family in Portland, and we always meet halfway (I live in Newport) for lunch while they're in Oregon. Over the years we've gone to many of the fine vineyards & restaurants in the wine country but always gravitate back around to Dundee Bistro, not only for its fine cuisine but also for its stylish yet comfortable ambience, its seating options (we like to be outdoors in summer, by the fireplace in winter), and its attentive but never intrusive service.

Wonderful food. Been there many times. The nuance changes in the dishes is so intriguing and delightful. Sl different spices, flavor combinations, and substrate changes always makes me come back.

Delicious pasta, foccacia and cocktails. Excellent fries also. They know what they're doing here.

Hands down the best meal my husband and I have ever had. We chose the 10 course tasting menu. We loved every dish. Especially great were the pear salad, the creme of mushroom soup, the white fish, and the beef bourguignon. The lemon crepe and the pots de creme were also amazing. We had very attentive waiters, they explained each dish, they recommended drinks to pair with dishes. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed the food, it was surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant
