Mill Plain Blvd.) and the IPAs, hazy or otherwise, at Trap Door (2315 Main St.) and Brothers Cascadia (9811 N.E. Our closest neighbor to the north has offered several reasons to cross the Columbia River of late, including the city’s new waterfront development, the pies and frozen concretes at Rally Pizza (8070 E. Introducing our latest ranking of Portland's top 40 restaurants for 2019. But, at least this year, let's celebrate the glory days. And indeed, starting next week, we'll start hunting down our favorite new restaurants of the year, from Nashville-style fried chicken to wok-fried Indonesian haunts to plant-based chef's counters and everything in between (follow along at /dining). It's not healthy to spend all your life looking in the rearview mirror.
And 2019 brings a new restaurant to the No.
In their place are Bistro Agnes, the impressive French rebound from the Ox team Canard, the latest lively sister restaurant to Le Pigeon Holdfast Dining, looking comfortable in its new digs Little Conejo, an over-achieving Vancouver taqueria Navarre, wine-focused restaurant that opened a decade ahead of its time Nimblefish, which brings high-level sushi to the people and OK Omens, a hip wine bar and restaurant from the Castagna crew. Big movers this year included two pleasant surprises, Ned Ludd and Jacqueline, as well as Han Oak and Ataula. This year's 40 drops seven long-standing favorites: Aviary, Little Bird Bistro, Luce, Ringside and Roe and the now-closed Old Salt Marketplace and The Woodsman Tavern.

Plenty of great places have opened since, including Portland restaurants in our top 10, such as Ox, St. In the decade since, Pok Poks opened (then closed) in New York and Los Angeles, Beast and Le Pigeon each added a sister restaurant, while other hits such as Toro Bravo, Clyde Common and Laurelhurst Market birthed local empires of their own. The national food media had yet to discover that the Pacific Northwest had more than one city. In the late 2000s, when Andy Ricker was still building his Pok Pok from a chicken shack to a bicoastal restaurant empire, Naomi Pomeroy was charming customers with a new and more communal form of finer dining at Beast and Gabriel Rucker was blowing minds at his turnkey East Burnside bistro, Le Pigeon.
