This Mediterranean smokehouse from the Sesame Collective restaurant group (Shalom Y’All, Dolly Olive) moved into the neighborhood at the height of the pandemic, in summer 2020. Since then, the team has served dishes like its popular fried chicken with harissa honey, grilled octopus with borlotti beans, and Basque burnt cheesecake. Beat the Sunday scaries with Yalla’s prime rib Sundays, when diners can get their hands on limited quantities of house-smoked prime rib served with horseradish labneh and charred broccolini dressed in pepita chile oil.

The Multnomah Village location of this brewery pours 14 taps of its own beers, plus two taps of guest ciders. Here, visitors down pints of the “anti-Carlson hazy IPA” Tuck All You Like, which offsets fruity notes of pineapple, peach, and guava with a hint of pine, and Let’s Play, a dry-hopped pilsner, while attempting the crush the high score on the taproom’s pinball machines. The taproom doesn’t serve food, but welcomes patrons to bring in food from neighboring businesses.

This sleeper-hit cart at the French Quarter pod was started in 2021 by Anuar Villa and Sergio Chávez, two friends who share a passion for quality cuts of steak. The pair serve sit-down-restaurant-quality New York and ribeye steaks which glisten with pan sauce (garlic, butter, rosemary), herby chimichurri, or cowboy butter (mustard, jalapeños, red pepper). All steak entrees come with a buttery scoop of mashed potatoes and a choice of side, such as salad, broccolini, and Brussels sprouts.

Renner’s is a neighborhood institution dating back to 1939, offering a robust menu of burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs alongside ice cold beers and Spanish coffees. Best of all, furry friends of the canine variety are more than welcome — the no-frills watering hole proudly serves a “pup grub” menu with dog-friendly dishes like the Pit Bowl, a medley of chicken, beef, and hot dog, and the Turner and Hooch, which consists of a milk bone biscuit for your dog and a well shot for you.

Beloved diner Fat City has resided in a building once home to a grocery store and an ice cream parlor since 1976. With nearly every inch of the cafe’s walls plastered with vintage license plates from Oregon to Guam, there’s always something to catch your eye and spark a conversation while waiting for plates bearing three-egg omelets or the Towering Inferno (bacon-and-cheese scramble on top of hashbrowns) to hit your table. Don’t miss the cafe’s giant homemade cinnamon rolls, which are vegan.

This corner bistro and bar situated in the middle of Multnomah Village’s main crossroads does French- and Italian- comfort food, from small plates like polenta cakes with caramelized onions and brown butter and pork-and-beef meatballs with smoked paprika crema to pizzas and pastas including creamy risotto studded with ground lamb and feta and tortellini tossed in lemon pesto with prawns. Portions here skew more European than American, but still leave diners feeling fulfilled, or with room for desserts such as the house-made dark chocolate sorbetto.

Since 2015, this farmers market stand-turned-restaurant has slid pizzas in and out of its wood-fire oven. Although the restaurant is currently open for takeout only, customers can easily pre-order kale Caesar salads and pizzas like the divisive Dill With It (pepperoni, pickles, mozzarella, parmesan) or the meaty Carnivore (pork sausage, roasted shiitakes, leeks, provolone). Stop by Thursdays through Saturdays for a rotating selection of bread, such as cinnamon babka, cast-iron focaccia, and porridge loaves, and on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to score boiled-then-wood-fire-baked bagels.

Part of a local chain of bagel shops founded by father and son Rick and Raf Spielman, this outpost of Spielman Bagels and Coffee helps Multnomah Village denizens wake up with its espresso drinks and kettle-boiled sourdough bagels. Start with bagel flavor options such as salt and herb, multigrain, pumpernickel, or jalapeno cheddar before customizing with a variety of schmears such as smoked salmon, Tofutti, and avocado; proteins like bacon, vegan egg, or whitefish; and veggies including sprouts and Mama Lil’s Peppers.
