Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Hillsboro

"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."

"Higgins is a Portland institution since 1994, and the food here is as good as it has ever been. Lunch is one of the best—and best values—in town; the oyster po'boy, a pure delight, comes with a soup or salad ($11). At dinner, entrees range from herb-crusted sole with a tomato-caper relish, olive oil–crushed potatoes, and grilled squash to duck with brandied grapes, braised greens, and aged cheddar polenta cake."

"Raven and Rose is an inviting romantic restaurant inside a historic building. The food is creative and perfect over candlelight. Raven and Rose is located in downtown Portland at 1331 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201."

"What we said: “Rick Gencarelli’s Lardo joins an impressive local tradition of quality sandwich-making. In the vein of Portland sandwich institutions like Bunk and Meat Cheese Bread, the spot elevates what can be accomplished between two slices of bread, resulting in dripping, flavor-packed pork meatball banh mi and rotating “Chefwich” collaborations with top Portland chefs.”What they’re doing: All Lardo locations are open for takeout and delivery through apps like CaviarWhat to get: Most of Lardo’s sandwiches are knockouts, especially its burger and Nashville hot chicken sandwich; the dirty fries are a particularly good addition."

"The PDX knows its sandwiches, and some of the best come from Rick Gencarelli’s Lardo. Gencarelli’s got a knack for creating crowd-pleasing, instagrammable food. His pasta spin-off Grassa, also makes this list at number 15."

"A downtown Portland icon for more than a century, Jake's has been delighting diners with fresh, simply prepared seafood and unmatched service since 1892. In a gorgeous yet casual dining room lit by antique chandeliers, patrons savor perfect cocktails and chilled spiced crawfish while browsing the daily menu that may include such favorites as oysters, mussels, decadent stuffed salmon and Dungeness crab cakes with jalapeno ginger aioli. Follow an exquisite entree with warm, flaky three-berry cobbler."

"A century-plus old, with throwback seafood preparations to match, this creaky downtown institution’s arm-length menu (it changes twice daily) is a seasonal map of West Coast waterways, with petrale sole caught in Warrenton, razor clams from Quinault, Washington, and Yukon River salmon in late summer (plus Idaho trout and Honolulu swordfish). That famous crawfish?. Surprisingly tasty, simmered with potatoes, corn, and andouille in a salty broth thrumming with clove and allspice."

"A well-established business that opened its doors in 1892, Jake’s Famous Crawfish is well-loved amongst the locals. The casual eatery reflects its history in the dining room thanks to antique furniture and chandeliers. Although crawfish is the highlight of the menu, the dishes also include seafood ingredients such as salmon, mussels, and oysters."

"If it is a dry day, take out and drink while people watching and totem pole exploring at Jamieson Square. See what the Elizabeth Leach Gallery (Tuesday – Saturday/417 NW 9th Ave) and the photography gallery Blue Sky (Tuesday – Sunday122 NW 8th Ave) are exhibiting. Catch a show at the Portland Center Stage at The Armory which is known as the “crown jewel” of the Brewery Blocks redevelopment."

"Jamison Square is an outdoor park in the Pearl District hidden among high rise condominiums. During the warm months kids can play in the tiered fountain that runs continuously. As the fountain runs it forms a shallow pool and then drains itself, recycles the water, and then starts forming the pool all over again."

"Known as the city’s “living room”, Pioneer Courthouse Square draws in tourists and locals alike with its lunchtime concerts, countless food trucks, and fantastic people watching. It’s home to the Portland Farmers Market which visitors can enjoy on Mondays from June-October. 701 SW 6th Avenue, Portland, OR 97205 | Distance from hotel: 0.2 miles"

"Pioneer square is in the center of downtown, and is also known as “Portland’s living room.” The square hosts hundreds of events each year, including concerts and cultural fairs. In the warmer months, it’s a great place to sit and people watch. Continue to 5 of 9 below."

"Home to plants from seven continents, this 185-acre hiker’s paradise contains more than 2,000 species of trees and 12 miles of trails. At the south end of the Hoyt Arboretum is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. An interpretive center offers restrooms, maps and brochures."

"Twelve miles of trails wind through this 189-acre ridge-top garden above the city zoo. It's home to over 6000 native and exotic plants and trees representing 1100 different species, and it offers easy walks any..."

"A three-mile loop will take you across two of Portland’s many bridges to the picturesque Tom McCall Waterfront Park and back. If I’m not feeling a stunning riverwalk along the Portland city skyline, I’ll go to Forest Park (one of the largest urban parks in the U.S.) and hike up to the Witches castle. It’s presumably haunted!"

"Across the street, you can take a walk along the Waterfront Park Trail at Tom McCall Waterfront Park. This park offers a great stroll along the Willamette River and you can get a closer look at the Hawthorne and Morrison Bridges."

"Take in the unusual looking buildings, the cherry blossoms at Waterfront Park (Spring, approx March/April), how many bridges can count over the Willamette (rhymes with ‘dammit’)?. There are 12 in total."

"Pix is the Parisian princess of the Portland sweet shops, showing up in international guidebooks and is a de facto stop for many visiting guests and locals alike. Part quirky “date” bar serving champagne and other cocktails, part daytime cafe with the usual fixings, and part dessert shop, the funky French thrift store decor and late-night hours only add to the vibe. Yet, Pix is also a serious patisserie and chocolatier featuring classic small pastry offerings such as Dobos torte, Gateau Opera, Macarons, and various creative creams, cakes and tarts."

"At dessert hero Cheryl Wakerhauser’s Pix Pâtisserie/Bar Vivant, napkins litter the floor, scarlet damask lines the walls, and Champagne enthusiasts play a game of pétanque in the courtyard. Portland seems miles away in this world of wacky European vitality and sparkling wine obsession. Wakerhauser has been baking bonbons and French macarons since she opened in 2001, but in 2012 Pix moved to East Burnside, bringing savory Spanish tapas, an expanded cocktail menu, and a beautiful space to the sweet equation."

"Credit goes to Pix Patisserie for coming up with the most socially-distanced, convenient way to abate sugar cravings at any hour of the day. Owner Cheryl Wakerhauser refurbished a 20-year-old vending machine, only to fill it with Pix’s signature macarons, mousses, truffle cakes, and even party favors like sparklers and cocktail mixers. The Pix-O-Matic is open for takeaway orders every day for 24 hours; note that the machine is restocked and cleaned at 10 a.m."

"One restaurant that appears on just about everybody's best-of Portland list is Andina. With the tagline, "A Taste of Peru in the Pearl," Andina has taken traditional South American cuisine to the level of fine art. Located in the heart of Portland's Pearl District, the neighborhood is comprised of boutique shops, art galleries and old industrial buildings converted into high-end lofts."

"The atmosphere is romantic, the Peruvian food is nothing short of inspired and there’s usually live music. Andina is located in the Pearl District at  1314 NW Glisan St, Portland, OR 97209."

"This wacky take on a regular dessert comes from Thailand, and is made by pouring the cream onto a freezing pan (set at -22 degrees), which creates a thin sheet of ice cream right that’s rolled up right before your eyes!. The end result is elegant cylinders of ice cream, a far cry from a messy scoop. This Oregon original opened its first shop in Eugene in 2017, and has since expanded to three locations, including Salem and Portland."

"Not only does 22 Below specialize in rolled ice cream, but it specializes in totally customizable rolled ice cream. Aside from 30 flavors to choose from—including HOT CHEETOS—the shop also allows patrons to create their own flavors to be enjoyed in the new Thai ice cream method. If you’re vegan or gluten-free, fear not—22 Below caters to all kinds of dietary restrictions."

"22 Below Ice Cream is the place to go if you’re looking for something a little different from the norm. This shop specializes in traditional Thai rolled ice cream with a variety of different flavors and specialties. They’ve got options for vegan diets, lactose intolerance, gluten-free, dairy and fat-free, as well as cholesterol free."
