On our Secret Food Tours: Portland, you’ll uncover why this city has become a haven for food lovers from across the globe. Portland isn’t just famous for its quirky culture and creative energy - it’s also a city that thrives on bold flavors, locally sourced ingredients, and international influences. With your expert local guide, you’ll stroll through Downtown Portland, exploring hidden gems, historic landmarks, and of course, an incredible variety of dishes.
Your adventure begins in Pioneer Courthouse Square, often called Portland’s living room, where you’ll kick off the day with a delicious Japanese-inspired breakfast sandwich, crispy, savory, and seasoned with miso for a flavorful start. From there, we dive into Southern comfort with a hearty bowl of Cajun shrimp and creamy grits (vegetarian option available), a dish that shows Portland’s love of reinventing classic American flavors.
Next, it’s time for a warm and salty indulgence: a fresh-baked pretzel served with tangy dips, perfectly paired with a local craft beverage. As the tour continues, we’ll surprise you with our Secret Dish.
No Portland food journey would be complete without something sweet. That’s why we’ll finish with a seasonal pie, rich in flavor, yet entirely gluten- and dairy-free - an example of Portland’s innovative approach to inclusive dining.
Along the way, your guide will share stories of how Portland got its name, its transformation into one of America’s top foodie destinations, and the unique local culture that keeps visitors coming back. By the end of your tour, you’ll have sampled 5+ dishes and local beverages, and you’ll leave with a true taste of what makes Portland so special.
If you’d like to elevate your experience, we offer an Upgraded Drinks Package featuring a locally brewed craft beer and a fiery Spanish coffee, prepared right in front of you.
