Where To Find Family Meals for Takeout and Delivery in Portland

The Portland restaurant scene has been radically changed in the last few months — takeout and delivery have replaced crowded dining rooms, and even bottles of wine or local spirits can be delivered directly to homes. While many restaurants are offering something resembling their regular menus, others have simplified things with a few or just one daily option for family meals — one set meal meant to feed a small group. Some of them are meant to be reheated at home, while others are hot and ready to be eaten as is. This list focuses on meals meant to feed a group of people, as opposed to prix-fixe meals for one person; it’s also not meant to be comprehensive.
