Welcome to Portlandia

Last week, a couple friends and I decided to spend Saturday in Portland, we packed the day with quite a few visits...
Interested to see how three chefs and a Foodie spent their day in Portland?
If yes, fasten your seat belt and keep reading.

First stop: The Art Institute of Portland

2- Lardo (Sandwich restaurant)

Lardo has been our must stop for the past 3 years, everything is delicious there.
The special was a fried chicken sandwich featured in the pictures below, humm so delicious...

3- Quick visit to Salt and Straw (ice cream shop)

Few blocks away from Lardo is a location of Salt & Straw, which happened to have some "bean & burrito" ice cream.


We had to order a pint!

4- Great Notion Brewing

Next we stopped at Great Notion Brewing company where Craig manage to work his magic, and get a couple of 32oz crowlers to bring back to Seattle (this is very special, since this microbrewery does not offer 'to go' brews).

5- Pitch Dark Chocolate

On the corner of NE 54th and Sandy Blvd. is where you will find Pitch Dark chocolate, very small production of bean to bar exclusively dark chocolate. Despite being so young the chocolate is extremely good.
I will keep Pitch Dark in my address book alongside Madecasse and Lonohana.

6- Steven Smith (Teamaker)

After all that came Tea time, and what better location than Steven Smith Tea...
Known nationally, Steven Smith was nevertheless a local.

7- Petunia's Pies & Pastries

We then decided to start a pre dinner routine, for this we headed downtown, our first stop:
Petunia's.

8- Chizu

What about a platter of hand selected cheeses from around the world as an appetizer?
Here is the detailed list :

9- Pépé le Moko

Picture
Defining what speakeasy stands for Pépé le Moko, is a must!
Plus we love the name (Pépé le Moko is one Gabin most famous film).

10- Jake's famous crawfish

Jake's is one of Portland institution, I recommend the super famous crab-cakes.

11- Pinolo Gelateria

Let's finish the day with a BANG!
