• Creole / Cajun / Southern • Southeast Portland

This Cajun soul food spot located in a mini-mall on East 82nd Avenue has earned its legion of superfans. The restaurant is known for its popular seafood boils, po’boys, and fried or blackened seafood (which the restaurant will gladly smother in étouffée sauce); however, the restaurant’s crawfish étouffée —crawfish tail meat swimming in a buttery sauce of onions, peppers, celery, and garlic — is the people’s favorite.

    We have i’m coming to Hudson’s since it opened and we always had wonderful experiences and excellent food. Today was special. My wife’s birthday is actually tomorrow. She turns 75 but we got together today with our best friend It was perfect food and atmosphere our server was Kale. was She was awesome and personable. Kudos to the chef, our meals were great and especially kudos to Kale who went over and above writing happy 75th in caramel icing on a plate and putting a candle in a little cream dollop. The chocolate cake and cookie was great. We will definitely come back.

    Possibly the best meal I’ve had all year. The Ice Ice Baby martini was as cold and delicious as it sounded. The cheesecake was unbelievable- I think it was the honey. And the dinner? Holy Cow. We all tried different things. As hard as it is to pick one thing, I’d say the wild boar ribs and the meatball dishes were the most amazing. I’m told they change the menu frequently; and I can’t wait for the next adventure. Am I overselling this place? I don’t think so. I joined this app just to write this review. Worth it. Oh! The gentleman who waited on us was a delight as well 😀

    Avanti is my go to happy high end restaurant. The servers and owners are wonderful people, the food is always amazing, and they actually likely could charge more than they do for the quality. They have a diverse menu in the classic American style with strong French and Italian influences on many dishes and the sides with various entrees are always beyond surprising in their flavor. Mark’s crab cakes are probably the best you will ever have in your life and if you are there when they have mushroom soup available it is an absolute must.
