Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Southeast Portland

First time having dinner at Kachka. Loved the ambience & from the moment we walked in the door to leaving the staff was delightfully friendly, efficient, and helpful. Food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening thank you so much!!

We had the radicchio salad, beef and pork gnocchi and tagliata. The salad was so fresh and delicious, the Caesar style dressing was absolutely to die for and it wasn’t overdressed (which is a usual problem for me). The beef and pork gnocchi was soft and tender, and the ragu was so flavorful. The tagliata was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was the perfect compliment. I’m really glad I didn’t let the string of poor reviews impact my decision to dine here. Perfect atmosphere, impeccable service and some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while. Brava Nostrana!

Each dish brought out just got better and better! The service was so friendly and the servers were patient and knowledgeable. Our last dish took a little longer to come out so they brought us a spice infused wine that aids in digestion that they comped. It was such a nice treat!

We started with drinks next store at Canard and then sat at the Counter in Le Pigeon. We enjoyed watching the food prep. We tried everything: the vegetarian menu, the omnivore menu, the reserve wine pairings and the non-alcoholic pairings. We're always impressed with the wine pairings but were really surprised by how good the non-alcoholic pairings were. The menus come with an additional supplemental dish--definitely get the extra dish. This is our favorite restaurant for celebrations and we had a great dinner!

this is our favorite Portland restaurant. The very best. Food is always amazing and the staff is wonderful. Friendly, while being completely professional , knowledgeable, about the food and wine and very helpful. Couldn’t recommend it more.
