Summary: Artful steakhouse with vegetarian delights.
Laurelhurst Market, a unique culinary gem in Portland, transitions from a butcher shop offering a variety of sausages, bacon, and cured meats by day to an innovative restaurant by night. With its lively dining area and a serene patio option, this establishment excels in reimagining the steakhouse experience. The diverse menu showcases not only expertly prepared meats like hanger steak and rib-eye but also caters to vegetarian preferences. Starters such as marrow bones and steak tartare set the stage, while the exceptional wedge salad stands out in the salad category. Side dishes like the mac ānā cheese with potato chip crust complement the main courses perfectly. Although the mussels are no longer available, the clams served in the same style are a worthy replacement. The burger, topped with bacon jam and served with hand-cut fries, offers great value, and the meal can be sweetly concluded with a chocolate tart. The drinks menu is equally impressive, featuring strong, skillfully mixed cocktails with homemade bitters, a selection of wines, and local microbrews to enhance the dining experience.
