OR · Fancy
The 10 best fancy restaurants in Portland.
The birthday restaurant is the one people cite for years. That is the bar. Not the balloon. Not the complimentary dessert. The meal. Harry's list is ranked by Harry Score, and when you're paying for the scene, the card says so.
What earns the price
Expensive ≠ good. Harry has opinions.| Top two price tiers | Only restaurants priced in the top two tiers. The price tier Harry falls back to when a source says nothing is the second-lowest, so every place here is priced high by a real source. |
|---|---|
| Harry Score 75+ | A higher floor than Harry's other lists: at these prices the room has to be clearly better than fine. Critic coverage feeds the score, so a Michelin or broadsheet trail counts. |
| No warnings | Anything Harry rates a tourist tax or a false economy is out. A room that's mostly paying for the scene can stay if the food scores, and its card carries that verdict. |
