Top Best American Restaurants in Hillsboro

"When New York high-end kitchen vet Gregory Gourdet took over the Nines hotel’s astro-sleek 15th-floor restaurant nearly a decade ago, it was better known for its bridge-and-tunnel singles scene than for its eats. Since then, the gregarious, telegenic chef has turned the dining room into a lively hub for creative, ambitious modern-Asian cuisine, a spot that transmutes Oregon’s produce, meats, and seafood into bold yet comforting dishes that sizzle and pop with chile, lime, and ginger. Visiting the restaurant, with its Vegas-style decks and unparalleled views of the city, is an expensive but giddy-making surprise: it’s as if you went into a dressing room to try on a pair of gaudy Ed Hardy jeans and came out clad in an Armani suit."

"After getting checked in at our hotel (the Portland Downtown Marriott Waterfront), got cleaned up, and headed to Huber’s for dinner (an institution) and Departures for a rooftop bar view. I’d give both a skip—Huber’s food was edible but nothing special, and Departures was crowded, windy, chilly, and full of…not my kind of people."

"DowntownSure its got the best outdoor patio, killer cocktails, some of our favorite wings, AND tasty snacks but did you know it also has sushi!?. Top Chef runner-up Chef Gregory Gourdet does it all!. Check out his new house smoked salmon roll with yuzu kosho, miso-sesame, scallion, and cucumber."

"This is another one of those places that’s always busy, always touristy, but always really really good. Screen Door serves high quality Southern food with a Pacific Northwest customer in mind (read: organic, locally sourced, fresh produce). If you’re looking for the quintessential Portland brunch experience, come to Screen Door, put your name on the waiting list and wait in the drizzle for an hour or so."

"FREE on-street parking, high demand and hard to find parking during peak brunch time, you may need to park 2-3 blocks away. I can talk about brunch at Screen Door until I’m blue in the face and I’d barely scratch the surface. This place is SO good, but don’t just take my word for it."

"If you don’t know what you’re in the mood for, head to Tasty n Sons. Chef and co-owner John Gorham has created a menu inspired by his travels around the world, so on any one visit you can order shrimp tostadas, followed by Moroccan chicken, with a side of buttermilk biscuits."

"Canard is a cozy French bistro open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The dishes are on the small side, so plan to order a few things to share. If you are unsure what to try, consider the French toast made with Cadillac oranges, walnuts, and créme Anglaise, it's divine."

"Ever wonder what a breakfast joint from James Beard winner Gabriel Rucker might look like?. Here it is in Canard (our Restaurant of the Year 2018): a cool Elmer’s on Paris’s Left Bank. The mood continues nonstop for 16 hours daily."

"The hotly anticipated little sibling of chef Gabriel Rucker's rightly famous Le Pigeon, Canard started winning 'best restaurant of the year' designations within weeks of opening at the start of 2018."

"Hawthorne Considering the inimitable satisfaction one gets from smashing a plate of fries topped in melted cheese curds and gravy while out on the town, it’s shocking how few places in Portland offer a good plate of poutine. Then again, this legendary cart in Cartopia -- one of Portland's original food pods, at SE Hawthorne and 12th -- is so good at doling out sloppy, salty hits covered in pulled pork, palak paneer, and satay that it may be futile to compete in the first place.Where is it?. On the corner SE Hawthorne and 12th"

"1207 SE Hawthorne What’s better than the Canadian classic of cheese curds, gravy, and fries when you’re stumbling around drunk at 1 am?. Literally nothing: It’s the best drunk food imaginable. And Potato Champion has it DOWN."

"If you’re looking for some high-end fries, Potato Champion is the place to go. It’s a food cart within a pod on Hawthorne and specialises in topped Belgium fries."

"Adam and Jackie Sappington run this very popular dinnerhouse and bar that focuses on whole animal cookery. It’s nearly impossible to get into Country Cat at brunchtime, but if you slip into the bar and sit at the counter early in the evening, you can get a deeply primal, funky smelling burger in the double-patty vedgeless genre, with housemade bacon, for a great value."

"Although Papa Haydn, an old school Portland institution, is famed for its extensive pastry case, the triple chocolate cake stands out from the rest due to its relative simplicity. Diners looking for an elevated version of a nostalgic, birthday-party-style chocolate cake should look no further. The restaurant has several other cakes worth sampling, and the old-school NW location has plenty of room for groups looking to skip straight to dessert."

"A Portland dining institution, Papa Haydn are full restaurants, but they are best known for their huge selection of desserts. Desserts are available for carryout and are often from the ooey-gooey chocolate and dairy-rich school of pastries, but hey there’s nothing wrong with that. They often look like something you’d expect to see on the British Baking Show."

"Papa Haydn has been around for decades and is a great spot for beautiful, decadent desserts by the slice. Think cakes, cookies, cheesecake, and tortes. Order the Mt. Adams Cake, made with hazelnut-coconut cake, praline, Viennese buttercream, wild huckleberry compote, and a huckleberry buttercream."

Kale bills themselves as a provider of excellent, quality, and flavorful Japanese comfort foods that are authentic to the Japanese people for a century. The restaurant features a simple interior design with a relaxing ambiance and lots of natural light, similar to casual restaurants in Japan."

"A photo posted by Rin-senpai (@rinsenpaiselfies) on Dec 30, 2015 at 4:44pm PST. Don't worry if you're 100% not into the "kale everything" trend, this restaurant is not named after kale. In fact, it's pretty much the exact opposite of kale."

"1405 Jantzen Beach Center Portland Oregon 97217 503-718-1133https://www.loc8nearme.com/oregon/portland/jantzen-beach-center/5030207/.
