6 brunch places in Portland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Portland | Brunch across every city.

Brunch is close to a civic institution in Portland, with weekend lines that the city treats as part of the ritual. The format ranges from Southern griddle plates to garden patios across the inner east side. Screen Door Eastside on East Burnside leads the Southern-leaning crowd, Sweedeedee on the Mississippi corridor keeps it homespun, and Tin Shed Garden Cafe in Alberta Arts works the patio version of the meal.
