The holidays are, in certain ways, an amalgamation of food traditions: Chinese food or tamales on Christmas, Hanukkah latkes or sufganiyot, Noche Buena lechon. Portland restaurants celebrate the season in a variety of ways. Some host Christmas pop-ups, others throw things like eggnog or tamales on the menu. However you celebrate, there is a way to fold in Portland food. Here, you’ll find a one-stop shop for all things holiday in Portland: Where to find toddies and nog, where to grab brunch as a family, where to track down last-minute Christmas cookies, and where to say goodbye to 2023 over a big, celebratory meal. Happy holidays from us at Eater Portland — we’ll see you in 2024.
