El Gaucho
This swanky steakhouse serves up stylish dishes at The Benson Hotel. Meats and desserts are fired up tableside, and the elaborate dishes are mastered before your very eyes, making the experience deliciously entertaining. If a big juicy steak is not your thing, try the Australian Lobster Tail or Oven Crisped Chicken. If you do order steak, be aware that steaks ordered rare will arrive a little more underdone than most tastes will allow. Darkly lit with a full bar, this restaurant is favored by the Portland Trailblazers.

Skyline Restaurant seems like a throwback to the fabulous 1950s, when you could still get great food at an even better price. Lots of red vinyl and a casual feel contribute to the soda fountain ambiance. Cheeseburgers are the specialty of the house. Choose from the basic burger or indulge in a mile-high gourmet specialty. Other options include the usual deep-fried delicacies and children will love the kids' menu. The flavored milkshakes are a must.
The Pig 'N Pancake started as a single restaurant way back from 1961, and since then there has been no looking back for its owners Bob and Marianne Poole. The homemade and close to perfect pancakes at this eatery are simply delicious. Try the Buttermilk, Swedish, Sourdough and French Batter pancakes, and you'll keep coming back for more. Their secret family recipes have passed down the generations and are now the source of their popularity.
Just a quick ride from Downtown Portland and you'll find yourself at one of Portland's most popular brunch spots. Eggs are the stars here, including a particularly rich and innovative Benedict selection. Breakfast is served all day, along with an array of luncheon sandwiches. Weekends often find people on the sidewalk, sipping the local Stumptown coffee, waiting for the next free table to open up. Be sure to check the board for daily brunch specials and the drink of the day. Revelers will appreciate one of the most sublimely balanced Bloody Marys in town, made from house-infused vodkas.
