    Review: Queen of Sheba

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update July 24, 2021 11 Comments

    Refreshed 12.09 The Queen of Sheba on Martin Luther King Blvd is home to what many consider the best Ethiopian food in Portland. The restaurant is located on the block between Echo and Russell St. BBQ in N.E. I have passed it many times on my daily runs, and the odor of spices in the air always urge me inside. Recently I made several visits.An old converted store, this is … [Read more...] about Review: Queen of Sheba

    Review: Café Castagna

    Cafe Castagna Caesar

    I have traveled far from my roots, but have never forgotten the lessons I learned about what makes a good burger back when I was a child. For the past few years, I’ve been searching for a one that could take me back to those days. I’ve tried countless: Higgins, Stanich’s, Skyline, Helvetia, Carafe, Bluehour, Wildwood, Ringside and even Giant Drive-in, but none brought back the … [Read more...] about Review: Café Castagna

    Review: Vault Martini

    Vault Martini portland

    - refreshed 2/12 The first time I walked into Vault Martini I was stunned. Just a few short months before I had been in the Vespa dealership in the same space revisiting a trip to Italy. At that time the building was a dark, dank, greasy, concrete box. Now that Vault had taken over it was transformed. There was no hint of its past, instead a dramatic trendy space that called … [Read more...] about Review: Vault Martini

    Clarklewis – 4.2.05

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update May 13, 2017

    Note: This is one of the very earliest reviews. The style and content has changed quite a bit since then, but the basic review still stands. I will revisit clarklewis in early 2006 and completely re-write this review at that time.I went to Clarklewis (aka ‘Dark Lewis’) tonight with a few friends. The previous times I have been there the restaurant had just opened. Those … [Read more...] about Clarklewis – 4.2.05

    Review Restaurant Bleu

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update July 27, 2017 12 Comments

    Note: This restaurant closed in December 2010. Note: this is the first review I ever wrote. Hopefully the format and content has improved since then, but the basic review still stands!Against my better judgment, I broke a 19 hour sleeping marathon to join friends for dinner at Le Cordon Bleu Western Culinary Institute 'Gourmet' student restaurant. I would have been better … [Read more...] about Review Restaurant Bleu
