Portland Foodie Road Trip

Some folks have asked me to share a list I created for my brother and his family this summer. I'm all about the food, especially bakeries! Ideas for a Portland trip...           One the way north from Roseburg: Creswell Bakery--fabulous pastries and bread, meat pies, local food gifts Hideaway Bakery in south Eugene--cool wood-fired oven, bread, treats Portland area: Pix Patisserie Ken's Artisan Bakery Moonstruck Chocolates spendy chocolates, excellent milkshakes, there's a location at Pioneer Place Ken's Artisan Pizza Trifecta Meriwether's $$$$ Boulangerie St. Honore Higgins (dinner) Blue Star Donuts (a thousand times better than Voodoo!!!) Love the one with blueberry-bourbon glaze) Ataula (dinner/tapas) Powell's Bookstore (Pearl District) Portland Farmers markets Mother's Bistro for brunch Nostrana (Italian) Portabello Vegan Trattoria (seriously delicious food!) Henry's 12th Street Tavern (Pearl District) Salt & Straw (ice cream. Expect a line around the block. Famous for exotic flavors)    There are three locations. One is on Alberta St. Bollywood Theater (not a theater; it's Indian food) on Alberta St. Random Order Pie Bar (Alberta St.) La Petite Provence French Bakery on Alberta Street Portland Food Trucks there is a pod within walking distance from your hotel and Powell's Alberta Street is one of the trendy, recently gentrified neighborhoods in Portland. Fun to walk down. Off I-84 along the gorge : You can stretch your legs at Multnomah Falls 30 miles east of Portland. Excellent food for lunch at Full Sail Brewing in Hood River Maryhill Museum
