Don’s Favorite Foods is a prix-fixe restaurant created by husband and wife team Chef Don Salamone and Kate Laurents in partnership with Sommelier Adam Galbraith.
Cocktails courtesy of Jeffrey Morgenthaler & "Banjo" Amberg.

Our menu changes monthly and highlights dishes Don grew up with as well as those he mastered though working at Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.

From Don: You may find gnocchi like my Ma used to make or Italian sausage modeled after my Godfather’s, Oreste “Ernie” Capone. You might find scallops still in their shells, Oregon pork in the style of Braciole, & popovers I learned to make from my mother-in-law, Terry, because she makes those every Christmas morning... beef tartare, sea urchin, caviar, etc too. These things are all my favorites.

We hope you’ll find your new favorites here too.

    Food is absolutely amazing!! The personal touches by the chef were surprising, appreciated & commendable! Don shared the best way to eat gnocchi (all in 1 bite!) and the winter truffle does *not disappoint! The music was absolute perfection and the maître d' is the most welcoming (and handsome) guy ever. Thanks, Don & team!!

    Amazing, intimate, funky little place hidden away in old town Beaverton of all places. The food was absolutely fantastic along with the wine pairing we opted for. The service was on point and Don himself comes out to explain some of the meals. I want to get the word out and let everyone know but I also want to keep this hidden gem to ourselves!

    What a great place the 4 person team makes you feel right at home in this 60-70’s wood paneled basement feel, mid century modern aesthetics. The food was wonderful and the service was great. Will be back!!!.

    We had an absolutely amazing first time at Don’s for Valentine's day. Everything was so delicious and prepared so well. The fresh truffle on the pasta was insane! Everyone was so nice! We already cannot wait to make it back and enjoy another dinner here again!

    Don has a delicious vision that we enjoy thoroughly: great popovers, homemade pasta, fantastic steak (this Feb) and a midcentury fun vibe. This is destination dining, not a casual evening out.
