I’ve decided it’s time to start sharing some of my favorite brunch spots in Portland so this is officially Best Brunch Spots in Portland: Part One! Starting strong with @dollyolive_bardolly , a downtown staple that serves lunch and dinner daily, with brunch every Saturday and Sunday. We ordered: 🥐 Cinnamon Roll 🍳 Polenta & Poached Egg (my fav) 🍞 Breakfast Panini 🥚 The Bambino Every single dish was as gorgeous as it was delicious, this spot easily earned a permanent spot on my brunch rotation. #portlandbrunch #pdxbrunch #portlandfoodie #pdxrestaurants #portlandeats #pdxfood #pdxlocal #brunchinportland #downtownpdx #pdxlife #oregonfoodies
