The December Hit List: Langbaan, Kann, Miss Delta, Mirisata, and More
As Oregon enters its second shutdown of 2020 and the wintry weather rolls in for good, takeout and delivery are the best way to support local restaurants. And now there’s almost nothing you can’t order to eat in the comfort of home. Try plates of vegan, warm-spiced curry at the city’s first Sri Lankan restaurant, Mirisata; jump on the birria trend at Centennial food cart Birrieria PDX; bring a famed Thai tasting menu from Langbaan home; or cozy up with Cajun classics at Acadia. Where should you order takeout this month? We’ve got it in our latest Hit List.
The November Hit List: Oma’s Takeaway, Dame, Paley’s Place, Drink Mamey, and More
Somehow, it’s already November. As days shorten in Portland, temperatures drop and the rain settles in for winter, menus switch over from colorful, zippy salads and all-grilled-everything to more robust, harvest-inspired plates, and homey braises. Find a hearty North African peanut stew at new Senegalese food cart Kabba’s Kitchen, warm-spiced enchiladas and tamales for the week from beloved Division Mexican spot Xico, or an occasion-worthy, four-course menu from stalwart Paley’s Place. Where should you cozy up? We’ve got it in our latest Hit List.
New on Resy: Teardrop Lounge, Huber’s Cafe, Grain and Gristle, Olympia Provisions, and More
It’s been quite the year for Portland restaurants — but there’s still a bounty of spots to eat. And yes, reservations, now more than ever, have become the best way to secure a table or experience during pandemic times. From the most timeless of spots (or at least since 1879) to the city’s pioneering cocktail bars, and neighborhood haunts that can be your backyard away from home, there’s plenty in this latest New On Resy.
The October Hit List: Canard, Chuckie Pie’s, Verdigris, the Bakery at Bar King, and More
With fall on the horizon, the last of summer produce is finding its way to Portland’s restaurants. And with it, the last of outdoor dining. Make the most of the early, warm days of fall with baked goods on the patio at Bar King’s new bakery, a Negroni out front of Sellwood’s Gino’s Restaurant & Bar, in your own backyard with a family pack of burgers from chef Doug Adams’ Holler or a zingy margarita at the Hoxton’s rooftop bar, Tope. Where should you spend the best days of fall? We’ve got it in our latest Hit List.
The September Hit List: Han Oak, Bhuna, Olympia Provisions, Kee’s Loaded Kitchen, and More
As Portland continues through the height of produce season, restaurants across the city have been debuting new, late-summer dishes in just-opened dining rooms, pop-up tents, patios, and more. With COVID-19 numbers still spreading across the state, many restaurants are still testing out the best way to serve diners — whether on socially distant patios like Scotch Lodge’s fish & chips pop-up Oui Chippy; Plexiglas-shielded doorways shielding the Vietnamese baked goods at Berlu; or through standard food cart windows at soul-food classic Kee’s Loaded Kitchen. Still, those dishes, treats, slices, and meal kits shine. Where should you be eating this month? We’ve got it in our latest Hit List.
The Resy Guide to Portland’s Chinatowns, By Those Who Love Them Best
A first-time visitor to Portland might see the city’s Chinatown gate as a beacon, inviting travelers into a rich cultural enclave similar to those found in Chicago or San Francisco. The gate, which spans NW 4th Avenue along the city’s north-south demarcation street, Burnside Avenue, is a stone’s throw from tourist-centric Voodoo Doughnut and Saturday Market. But the city’s Chinatown today exists mostly in name, with much of the region’s Chinese communities having moved outside of the city center, westward into Beaverton and eastward to the Jade District in Southeast Portland and beyond.
The August Hit List: Lazy Susan, Aviv, Taqueria Los Punales, Malka, and More
As Portland restaurants discover the best ways to serve their diners, many are experimenting with a combination of outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery — taking over former parking spaces, for instance to create mini-patios. And, improbably, there have been openings, too, including a new spot from the minds behind Langbaan and Le Pigeon. From Lowcountry cooking and oysters to a Northwest twist on deep dish, here’s our latest Hit List, for cautiously going out to dinner again in the height of summer.

How One Portland Restaurant Made a Priority of Safety — and Comfort
It was only a day before Oregon’s statewide ban on on-site dining was announced that Portland’s newest Filipino restaurant, Magna, ended its brand new brunch service.
