The food, the people, the drinks, you can’t go wrong. Your dining experience can be adventurous or safe with lots of well known options and maybe something you’ve never tried before, but it’s all made with love and care. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door and are taken care of right up until you leave. One of my favorite restaurants in Portland.

Laurelhurst Market is an American restaurant, bar and butcher shop. Not too many places can do as many things well as this particular eatery. If guests just need some premium meat to bring home to cook, the butcher shop has its own entrance at the side of the building where guests can peruse all kinds of cuts of beef, lamb, pork and various kinds of house made sausages and pate. Naturally, Laurelhurst Market's menu focuses on the many fine cuts of meat that are cut on-site as well as farm fresh produce. Appetizers include the Charcuterie Board that features house made cured meats and pates with seasonal mostarda and house pickles. The most popular entrées include the Ribeye and the Olympia Provisions Pork Chop!

Obviously meat-centric dining. Delicious tender beef with rich sauces. A welcome alternative from overpriced, stuffy, expense account steakhouses. This is the real thing.

Every dish was a surprising delight. We ordered the rice table. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and found a feast of delicious and very different foods. The chicken satay redefined that dish for me. The clams with some kind of chewy pork infused croutons was fantastic. The corn fritters were to die for, as was the apple cider donut for dessert. We left both completely stuffed and sure to come back. Our server was lovely and knowledgeable.

We had a reunion with old friends at Nostrana. Our party included seven people and we sat in their special section for larger groups. The restaurant truly made this a memorable occasion. The ambience, service and food were all exceptional. It was truly one of the finest restaurant meals we have enjoyed in a long time.

About the restaurant
Named one of 20 Best New Restaurants in America for 2024 By Bon Appetit!

In a distant European city, Fabian and Miriam vanished into the Alps, trading their city lives for mountain solitude. Once busy young professionals, their days were consumed by demanding careers, their rare weekends cherished for dining out and dancing, occasionally venturing into the mountains.

But destiny intervened when Miriam inherited her grandfather's Alpine hut, nestled amidst the rustic charms of the mountains. They cut ties with the city, forsaking it for good. Days were spent farming, foraging, crafting cheese, and making wine. Nights brought cooking, baking, wine-drinking, and stargazing.

Friends from the city visited, but Fabian and Miriam never looked back. They were drawn deeper into the mountains, caught in the Alpenrausch's dual meaning—the exhilaration of mountain air and the intoxication of good company, fine wine, and schnapps.

Come experience Alpenrausch!

Great people - lovely vibe - excellent food. The salads, in particular, had no business being so delicious, given their Austrian/Südtirol influence.

We really enjoyed the happy hour tacos and chicken! We especially loved the cauliflower and beet tacos. The house red wine was lovely and the service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back!
