Oscar Donut

Valentine_1 (9K) I've been by Sesame Donut but have yet to stop in. It's on my to-do list. Sesame Donuts gets an awesome write up here



UPDATE Spent Sunday with a bag of Sesame Donuts and the Oscars. Pure Heaven. Fresh donuts are sublime. These put chain and grocery store donuts to shame. Shame!! Even the Sesame Donut cake donuts were light and tasty.

Barbur World Foods Deli now open!

NOW WITH FRESH BAKED PITA

I stopped in a few days ago for houmus and veggie kibbeh! They have a full selection of cold salads and a hot case with kabob, lamb, etc. Great vegetarian selection and very reasonable prices.

BARBUR WORLD FOODS Their grocery selection is amazing - lavash, black currant syrup, olives, kefir cheese, Beer and Wine, etc. Great prices! Right on the corner of Barbur and Capitol Highway. Barbur World Foods

Unsung Lunch Heroes: Sheridan Fruit Market

Writing about Barbur Foods reminded me of Sheridan Fruit Company on SE MLK and Stark. They have a varied and wonderful lunch time deli with outdoor grilled veggie burgers, salads, casseroles, pastries and desserts. Don't think of them as just fruit baskets! Also check out the amazing bulk foods area, including bulk Jujy Fruits. yum!

Current Portland Restaurants

Savoy Tavern

portland cheese curd (3K)Well I can't find a web site for them, so here's the Citysearch link for the Savoy Tavern and Bistro. 2 words: Cheese Curds. Go and have some deep fried beer battered cheese curds.
I've actually eaten here twice and had great food each time. Fab mac-n-cheese, and a house-made veggie burger. Prices are a little spendy for my taste - definitely not super-cheap, but reasonable.



Savoy Tavern & Bistro
2500 SE Clinton
Portland, OR 97202
(503) 808-9999
