About the restaurant

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.

*Note- if you are using a gift certificate to book you must email reservations@donsfavoritefoods.com - do not book through OpenTable. Thank you!*

LaChona Empanadas y Vinos Argentinos

Cedar Mill

About the restaurant

The LaChona brand was born out of a love for sharing incredible wine with close friends and family. Ask any Argentinian what their favorite pastime is and they will likely say “asado con familia”, or grilling with the family. Slow-cooked lechon, fire-kissed chorizo, and hand-crafted empanadas born of generational influences and traditions are all paired with the perfect Malbec, Cabernet Franc, or Semillon every Sunday. This shared familial experience, this act of “pairing” family and fine dining, defines the essence of LaChona’s food and wine experience.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our dinner more! A group of six, never been to LaChona before but decided to give it a try. The food was fabulous, the wine flights were tasty, and the service was impeccable. Perfect for small groups who want a fresh, new experience.

The table we requested was already booked and we were disappointed not to get the one we asked for. However, they put us at a wonderful booth and it was very quiet and we had a lovely time. The food was fabulous as usual and the service was great. Our server was helpful, kind but not TOO attentive.

Burmese

Beaverton

About the restaurant

Burma (modernized name - Myanmar) is a Southeast Asian country about the size of Texas, tucked between India and China, is a home to various ethnic tribes, a melting pot of beautiful cultures. When it comes to taste-buds tingling cuisines, Burma has a lot to offer. It has been a passionate dream for Burma-born owners Kalvin and Poe to open a Burmese restaurant to be able to share their culinary culture. That dream came true in 2019 when Top Burmese opened as a virtual takeout only restaurant from a commissary kitchen in NW Portland. Due to its authenticity, made to order, home-style cooking, and Burmese hospitality, Top Burmese traditional and modern Burmese dishes became so popular effectively evangelizing the masses to become Burmese Food fans. Today Top Burmese serves its amazing dishes via various Burma themed restaurants. *** Top Burmese was named in Oregonian Best New Restaurants, Forbes, Willamette Week Top Eats, and various must eat lists including EATER Portland. ***

Theres’s a surprising depth of Burmese food in NYC. After having it in abundance in San Francisco I was pleasantly surprised to find a high quality Burmese restaurant in a Portland suburb on a random trip so I booked a team dinner here. The food was better the second time and I plan on coming back any time I’m in the area.

This cozy little teahouse is, for me, exactly how a teahouse should feel. Small, warm, and filled with atmosphere and the smell of freshly brewed tea. We made reservations ahead of time, and I'm glad we did. It got busy quickly. We were served tea fairly quickly, and the tea was of good quality. Fairly full leaves, good color of the brew, and strong aroma. We paired our various selections of black and oolong tea with the salmon tower and the garlic noodles, both of which had good flavor. We stayed for a while, had a second brewing of our leaves, and chatted in the small space until we were contented. I will be back!

My husband and I come here about once every couple of months because the food is fantastic, and all the staff are great, especially Jemma! The atmosphere is perfect for a moderately fancy, but fun and sultry food experience. This is a go-to date night spot!
