As @dormanp mentioned, make sure and hit up the PSU farmers market on Saturday’s, in many ways the crown jewel of the PDX food experience. It’s in full swing right now with summer fruits etc. Beaverton is also fantastic but a bit farther out.
In north tabor, Tabor Bread and Coquine market have great pastries and breakfast options. Coquine proper was a finalist this year for James Beard National Restaurant of the year. The market has outdoor seating for dinner with more casual plates but still excellent food. Nice to on a summer evening. Bell weather bar at 60th and stark has a nice outdoor patio and good food options. In 19th century house.
Hinterland food carts have a nice patio and is not far away on the south side of the park. Nearby rangoon bistro has good Burmese. Ki’ikibaa on 82nd has excelllent Yucatán antijitos and other specialists. 82nd is also a haven for a great range of Asian places but since I live in SE Asia half the year I don’t tend to visit them but look elsewhere for reviews.
