Portlanders — with their regularly celebrated love of coffee, booze, and eggs — are constantly in search of a morning meeting ground, which makes brunch an essential part of the city’s culture. Normally, brunch’s stratospheric popularity has resulted in hour-plus waits for bacon and Benedicts; however, the current state of affairs has dramatically changed the brunch landscape. Several restaurants known for their brunches — Beast, Trinket, Radar — have closed, while others have simply discontinued their weekend brunch service. Still, there are a handful of restaurants continuing to serve pancakes and hashes on the weekends, as well as inventive brunch dishes like concha breakfast sandwiches and fava green omelets.

This map is dedicated to restaurants with weekend-specific brunch menus, only served from Friday through Sunday; for serious breakfast and brunch offerings mid-week, Eater Portland’s breakfast map might be a better guide.

Bad Habit Room

Copy Link

On nice days, sun floods the saloon-vibed Bad Habit Room on North Michigan, where a handful of neighborhood locals enjoy quiet brunches of croque madame or eggs blackstone, a variation of eggs Benedict with bacon and tomato-truffle jam. Start with a gargantuan mimosa, bubbling with cava, followed by a platter of super buttery biscuits and a rich pork belly gravy abundant with sage. Brunch runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Cafe Olli

Copy Link

This light-toned, window-lined Northeast Portland cafe serves bowls of cracked farro porridge, ricotta toast, and frittata breakfast sandwiches on any given morning, but on Saturdays and Sundays, the culinary team gets into broader brunch territory. Meals start with heirloom tomato salads balanced with stonefruit and red onion, followed by sausage gravy-slathered polenta cakes and French toast made with house-made challah and blueberry-vanilla compote. And to drink, visitors choose from a long list of espresso and tea drinks, as well as wine, beer, and cocktails.

This Pearl District fried chicken sandwich favorite also serves brunch, filling tables with bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuits and vegan breakfast burgers. The restaurant’s famously tasty chicken, juicy with a nice, craggy-crunchy exterior, still plays a major role on weekend mornings, when it balances on top of a yeasted waffle with a perky addition of orange zest. When it comes to beverages, the restaurant’s version of a mimosa swaps the orange for P.O.G. and adds a shot of peach vodka. It runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Duality Brewing & Astral

Copy Link

Starting at 11 a.m. on Sundays, this Kerns neighborhood brewery becomes a minimalist palace of Mexican-ish brunch, heavily influenced by seasonal produce. Drinking silky, well-executed cappuccinos, neighborhood regulars pick at gooey chocolate chip cookies while awaiting sugar-encrusted concha breakfast sandwiches, browned quesillo stretching between a soft omelet and an herby green chorizo patty. Or maybe brunch involves chilaquiles bright with sweet sungold tomatoes. Or maybe it’s an avocado “toast” ada, crowned with seasonal vegetables. The menu may shift, but it’s extremely hard to go wrong here.

Baon Kainan

Copy Link

This Filipino cart serves its inventive take on brunch each Sunday, including crispy lumpia and ube bibingka (flavored rice cake) topped with coconut crumble. True to Pinoy breakfast form, Baon Kainan also serves its take on tosilog, salty-sweet pork belly with garlic rice and crispy fried eggs sunny-side up. However, it’s all about the specials at Baon Kainan — past options have included a play on loco moco, citrusy arroz caldo with plump shrimp, and Filipino spaghetti. For a beverage pairing, the calamansi soda or cider, depending on the season, should do the trick. Baon Kainan is open for brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a few onsite tables at the pod. Hot tip: You can take your breakfast into the nearby Concourse Coffee for indoor seating, and pair it with an espresso drink from the bar.

Navarre

Copy Link

This Northeast 28th European restaurant’s weekend brunch has been a staple in Portland for years, and it is just as good as ever. Sure, visits may involve standards like Benedicts and omelets — however, the Benedicts will come with things like cod cakes or collard rabe, and the omelets will arrive filled with seasonal vegetables like fava greens. Dishes rotate frequently; seafood here is often a treat, be it mussels and clams steamed in saffron-scented white wine or a simple cut of fresh halibut with aioli. Seating is available in the intimate, bustling dining room or on the patio. Brunch runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Hey Love

Copy Link

This tropical, lush bar within the Jupiter Next hotel is likely the spot for a boozy brunch: Bartenders spike coffee with Cinnamon Toast Crunch rum, pour vegan bloody marys with mushroom bullion, and combine passionfruit and grapefruit juice with gin, pear brandy, and bubbles for a take on a mimosa. The food is far from an afterthought, however, with pork-verde-topped chilaquiles, allspice-scented waffles, and sweet chile shrimp and grits. Brunch is available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Bullard Tavern

Copy Link

During Bullard Tavern’s weekend brunch, servers deliver platters of oysters on the half shell and warm cornbread to tables throughout the Woodlark hotel restaurant. However, it’s the restaurant’s entrees that really shine: summer vegetable shakshuka, sourdough waffles topped with fried chicken thighs, loaded hash browns smothered in beefy Texas red and pickled jalapeños. Bullard’s brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m every Saturday and Sunday.
