Top 7 Best Thanksgiving Restaurants in Portland (tried and tested)

While it is easy to find an American-style restaurant on every corner in Portland, only a few dare to bring something new to the table and change the way people enjoy their food. The team behind Andina has done exactly that. 

By collaborating with local farmers in Oregon and traders from Chincha, Peru, the restaurant has brought authentic Peruvian cuisine to our very own city. Andina is built on love and compassion and brings thousands of years of culture and tradition with its food and recipes. 

With the exotic Peruvian flavors, farm-fresh Oregano food, and a huge menu I honestly think it’s one of the best Thanksgiving restaurants in Portland. Enjoy your food in a family-friendly, classy setting and experience the Peruvian tradition.

Germany is known for its unparalleled wine and lively atmosphere. However, for many of us in the US, it is tough to find the same flavors in our local restaurants.

Prost! was built to bring popular German items and authentic wine to our city and I love it here! Especially the fun, upbeat atmosphere.

Set up as a traditional pub with large tables and a beautiful patio, Prost! Bringing the lively German experience alongside their drinks. The menu also features German salads, homemade soups, pretzels, and much more. 

Metropolitan Tavern is a sleek, modern restaurant situated atop Hotel Eastlund. It is one of the few places in Portland where you can enjoy great sights and an amazing atmosphere, all the while treating yourself to delicious, contemporary food.

The menu is split into main plates, small plates, sides, sharable boards, artisan pizzas, and desserts to make sure you leave full. I’d definitely recommend their vegan brownie they’re seriously delicious! 

The place is packed with loyal customers who swear by the food. Double the fun this Thanksgiving by treating your family to the best food in Portland. 

Magna Kuisina was started as a passion project by the talented chef Carlo Lamagna. Carlo grew up in a Filipino household and, over the years, learned to embrace his culture and heritage.

His goal was to spread his culture and promote Filipino culinary prowess through a well-crafted, delicious menu. He was able to achieve his goal and built the Magna Kusina in 2019. 

The restaurant was a huge success, and within two years, Magna Kusina was rated Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian. Around this time, Carlo was featured in Food & Wine’s class of Best New Chefs.

Kacha was opened in 2014 by Bonnie Morales and her husband, Israel. Bonnie grew up in the US in a family which was heavily invested in Belarusian cuisine and often held parties inviting fellow Russian relatives and home-cooking and prepping all the meals with great enthusiasm. 

However, Bonnie wasn’t particularly fond of her hereditary cuisine and drove away from it when she was studying French cooking techniques and culinary cuisine. This was until she met her now-husband, who rekindled the love of Russian food in her heart. 

The couple started the restaurant, which was included in America’s Essential Restaurants by Eater.
