Coquine

Portland


Off the beaten path and well worth seeking out, this sweet cafe is generally acknowledged to serve Portland's best chocolate chip cookie. The seasonal menu of classic dishes (think roast chicken, carrot soup, braised lamb shank, breakfast hash) highlights fresh produce and locally sourced ingredients; chef Katy Millard raises simple salads and sandwiches to an art form. Reservations recommended.

Coquine sits just at the edge of Mt Tabor Park, and would make an ideal stop before or after a nice, hilly walk.
