One Lunch in Portland - Where Should I Go?

[aching]

I have one lunch in Portland and I don't want to squander it! Anywhere in the greater Portland area is a possibility - where should I go?

Thanks for the recommendations! We ended up going to Ten01. I had the lamb mac n' cheese and we had truffle fries for the table - both were excellent. (I wish I could tell you what my companions had but I can't remember!) The lamb was an extremely tasty comfort-foody dish, especially on a rainy day, and the fries were some of the best fries I've ever had - and HUGE; we couldn't finish them even though they were so delicious. Looking forward to coming back to your lovely city to try more restaurants!

I had a good experience recently at Nel Centro in the Hotel Modera - on the edge of the downtown core. Outdoor seating potential if it's nice out. On 5th and Clay. It's brand new, and my colleagues and I were impressed.

I like Typhoon, Kenny & Zuke's & Fenouil.

Bunk Sandwiches would be my suggestion, but it's not in the same speed as the others you've mentioned.

Ten01 and Park Kitchen would be right up your alley.

Forgot to mention - I've been to Wildwood, Southpark, and Higgins in the last few years and really liked them all - I'd like to go somewhere different this time, but that kind of restaurant is definitely my speed.

A little different than the ones you mentioned, but I think some of the best food-

Tanuki - maybe a little more adventurous, but I recommend the omakase. We put down $25 and had at least 12 courses - some of the best food I've had recently.

Pok Pok - I'm never disappointed, never been to anywhere like it - not your typical Thai food found in the US

Both have great, interesting food and are fun.

Tanuki is not open for lunch.
