A grilled cheese sandwich restaurant on Alberta Street will bring back childhood memories.
You'll find the Alberta Arts District on Northeast Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon. In this residential neighborhood, you'll find not only the arts, but clothing boutiques and different kinds of restaurants. On your next trip to Portland, walk along Alberta Street and dine in a local restaurant depending on what you're in the mood for from simple sandwiches to French-inspired meals.
Tin Shed Garden Cafe
If you're conscious about your food choices, then the Tin Shed Garden Cafe is the right restaurant for you. This casual restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating amongst flowering plants and trees. The beef, chicken and eggs here are all free-range and the dairy products used are packed locally. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served. Some specialties include the rice and beans, wild salmon and a chicken fajita casserole. A kids menu is available and 100 percent of your leftovers are turned into compost.
The Grilled Cheese Grill
The Grilled Cheese Grill is not your typical restaurant because it serves its food from a mobile vehicle. However, it's always in the same location and outdoor seating is available. Serving lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers food reminiscent of your childhood. Of course, there's the classic grilled cheese sandwich, but you can also order different kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches -- such as one with four cheeses, one with sauteed mushrooms and Swiss cheese and another with roasted jalapenos, Colby Jack, cream cheese and tortilla chips. The Grilled Cheese Grill is closed on Mondays.
Helser's On Alberta
Helser's On Alberta is a restaurant that prepares its food using many family recipes and local ingredients. The restaurant serves breakfast all day and sandwiches for lunch. Try the sausage breakfast, black bean chili scramble, curry tuna sandwich or traditional Reuben sandwich. A kids menu, private parties, catering services and boxed lunches are available. Helser's On Alberta is open daily but only serves lunch on weekdays.
Petite Provence
Petite Provence Boulangerie and Patisserie aims to give customers the taste and atmosphere of France with its food, architectural design and decor. For breakfast you can order the northwest salmon hash, savory French toast or risotto cakes & eggs. Soups, tossed salads and sandwiches -- such as the chipotle chicken sandwich, vegetarian croissant and Provence BLT -- are served for lunch. Petite Provence is open daily.
