Best Lunch Restaurants in Northeast Portland

The food and service were first rate. They have the best fried chicken. We love it and that’s what we always have.

One of the best things I like about Lucca, aside from the always great friendly service, interesting cocktail selection and wonderful wood-fired pizzas, is the changing menu items with the season. Grilled pears and Gorgonzola was beautiful and the Rose Apple and Farro salad a delight. Highly recommend!

Excellent service, drinks & food. We had 4 different specialty cocktails and all were excellent. Steak Tartare was flavorful and fresh. Sweetbreads came out too salty and the waitress replaced them quickly and this time they were perfect. We even took Spanish sausage sampler home. Always a solid place to go.

The Thanksgiving buffet was perfect. A great selection of appetizers and the entrée selections met dietary needs. Turkey, prime rib, salmon, as well as a vegetarian mushroom dish and vegan mushroom dish. The chocolate flour less cake with ganache was spectacular. The only very minor issue was the timing of our entrée. Two arrived before we were done with our appetizers. In the servers' defense, it probably was hard to time considering that diner was finished with his appetizers. Overall, I highly recommend this for a memorable experience.

Made a lunch reservation for 2 people @12:15pm. The restaurant was basically empty (only a few tables with guests seated) when I arrived. We were seated immediately at a window table with a fabulous view. A friendly server arrived promptly & answered all our questions about the menu items. My friend and I shared Caesar salad, king salmon, goat milk cheesecake and cappuccinos, all of which were delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. We enjoyed this tasty lunch and impeccable service… we’ll be back!
