Last PDX thread was back in 2008 so I figured it's time for a new "Where do you eat in Portland" thread. I'm probably not the best person to start this off since I just transplanted here 2 months ago but that certainly makes me hungry for more ideas.

So far what I've experienced:

Corbett's Fish House/Hawthorne Fish House

Both good places, nice fried fish and tasty sides. Probably going to eat there tomorrow cause of thinking about it now.

Abby's Table

Only open once a week on wednesdays, family style eating with pleasant conversation amongst friendly strangers. Food is gluten-free/dairy-free and vegan options are always available. Food was well prepared, atmosphere was fantastic and the price was super affordable.

Corbett Coffee Plant

Small coffee house with a small selection of gluten-free baked goods. Decent in taste, ok in texture.

New Cascadia Traditional Bakery

Very nice wide selection of baked goods plus some lunch offerings of sandwiches and pizza on gluten-free bread/dough. The bagels are not lye treated so I'm not really a fan but they can do in a pinch. The cupcakes are deliciously sweet and the brownies are decadently rich. They have some new marionberry muffins that I tried yesterday and they are ridiculously tasty, if they have these when you go there, buy the lot.

I know there's a plethora of stuff out here available to us but haven't gotten around to seeking it out yet. What's everyone else's recommendations?

LOVE Corbette's fish house! Also ate at outbacks, the staff was pretty knowledgeable but I wouldn't touch the gluten-free brownies they offered for dessert because I asked the girl and she said there was no flour IN the brownies but the pans were dusted. A plain steak and potato was fine though.

Finally ate at a Whole Bowl last week. Great little deal on a simple meal and turns out it's gluten free!

While I'm at it, does anyone in town know of a good place to buy fresh/frozen seaweed? Been trying to find some non-soaked-in-soysauce seaweed and no place I've gone to has it, couldn't even find it at Fubon.

Andina's in the Pearl District. Spendy but worth every penny!!

PF Chang's in the Pearl bends over backwards for us whenever we go

Deschutes Brew Pub has a gluten-free menu that's pretty good

Open Original Shared Link

BJ's at Jantzen Beach is great, pizza is great

Claim Jumpers in Clackamas was fabulous

PSU Saturday Market-you'll find a ton of stuff there

There's a few more that I'm forgetting. I'll think about it and repost

Beaches in Vancouver on the waterfront. Pretty good sized menu. I like the food

Blossoming Lotus Cafe-vegan, gluten-free, and raw options. Spendy, food's pretty good, service is obscenely slow

Old Spaghetti Factory--my kids like it

Old Wives' Tales-I've not been there but a lot of my friends have and really like it

Red Robin by the airport-fabulous with us every time, never had cc there

There are many more options I've never tried listed at this website:

Portland is my favorite city!! There are so many gluten-free offerings and all restaurants seem so gluten aware! Last year I went w/ my daughter to a Mexican place and asked the owner if everything was gluten-free. He took me to the prep area and showed me the ONE thing to avoid... some meat thing.

The Whole Bowl is my fave!! I've just discovered a copycat recipe for the super-secret Tali Sauce and have been enjoying Whole Bowls at home (hold the cilantro, please!).

I'll find out the name of the place my other daughter took me ... where we had delicious shrimp tacos and an amazing roasted beet salad w/ candied pecans and beer in the bottle!! I could have gone there every day!!

Has anyone tried one of the Ethiopian restaurants or creperies? A number of them claim to have gluten-free injera and crepes, respectively, but I can't figure out if any of them manage to be celiac-safe.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
