Best Seasonal Restaurants in North Portland

Beautiful restaurant with incredible and unique food!

This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food was all excellent this time even the dessert which I seldom eat. I love the fact that they employ a large number of runners to expedite the food delivery. One doesn't have to wait for anything.

Our meal at Tartuca was exceptional from start to finish. We began with the farinata—featuring a tofu-like "pancake" made with yardlong beans - paired with turnips, cherry tomatoes, and micro greens. It was unique and tasty. We ordered the tomato risotto with fried capers, which did not disappoint. We also enjoyed the gnudi, a perfect fall dish featuring savory roasted chicken, fennel, and delicata squash. The sauce was incredible, and we were glad we ordered the focaccia, which is a star on its own. To round out the night, our waiter suggested his favorite Amaro, Averna, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Between the cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food—including great GF and vegetarian options—we highly recommend this spot.

Menu is limited but everything is high quality. The pizza crust has a nice crispy crust and nice chew. Composed salads are substantial and dressings are lovely. The chocolate cake was a large piece we easily shared between 5 of us! The frosting was silky and delectable. Our waitress could not have been more informative, welcoming, and accommodating

High praise! Amazing! Upscale Mexican at its finest.
