    Reader Survey 2015 – Best Outdoor Dining in Portland

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update April 7, 2016 5 Comments

    768 people voted in our reader survey 2015 question, “What is the Best Outdoor Dining in Portland”. It is no coincidence that the outdoor dining pages are some of the most popular on this website. After our long drizzly winters, we tend to rush outside and embrace our beautiful summers. We have a wealth of options available – there were more nominations in this category than any other, and the top ten positions only made up 46% of the total vote.

    Here are the top ten along with the percentage of total votes:

    1. Veritable Quandary  – 1220 SW 1st Ave, Portland 97204 (503)227-7342  Map  11.73%
    2. Departure – 525 SW Morrison St., Portland 97204  (503)802-5370  Map  8.47%
    3. Meriwethers – 2601 NW Vaughn St., Portland 97210  (503)228-1250  Map  4.35%
    4. Firehouse – 711 NE Dekum St., Portland 97211  (503)954-1702  Map  4.56%
    5. Teote Areperia – 1615 SE 12th Ave, Portland 97214  (971)888-5281  Map  3.58%
    6. Rontoms – 600 East Burnside, Portland OR 97214  (503)236-4536  Map  3.26%
    7. Bernie’s Southern Bistro – 2904 NE Alberta St., Portland OR 97211  Map  2.93%
    8. Noble Rot – 1111 East Burnside, 4th floor, Portland OR. 97214  Map  2.92%
    9. Salty’s Waterfront Seafood Grill – 3839 N.E. Marine Drive, Portland OR. 97211  Map  1.95%
    10. Xico – 3715 SE Division St. Portland, OR 97202  Map  1.94%

    My vote was for Firehouse. I like the big sunny flagstones surrounded by various vegetables and whatnot. In the 2013 survey, the winning order was VQ, Meriwethers, Departure, Firehouse and Yakuza.

      Do you know which of these patios is wheel chair accessible? I know Departure, Noble rot, firehouse are….don’t think Saltys is. I know Bernie’s is not. Unsure on others….often patios have “.a step or two” leading outside…frustrating.

      Nel Centro’s awesome patio is wheel-chair accessible and open year-round.

      Yes, our patio is wheel chair accessible! Just contact the restaurant and ask for Erin. I’ll sent up a table for you, when our patio opens.
