Portland Food Tour - The Vibrant Kerns Hood – East Burnside and More

Experience an off the beaten path culinary journey through Portland’s Kerns neighbourhood!

Led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide, you'll stroll through the vibrant Kerns neighborhood where you will sample some of the tastiest bites that Portland has to offer. This once sleepy neighborhood has blossomed into a Portland bazaar for diverse and delicious treats.

While the Kerns extends more broadly, this tour is centered around Restaurant Row, on NE 28th between Burnside and Glisan St. You’ll explore 1.3 miles of tree lined streets and hipster hangouts as you visit several foodie hot spots in the Kerns neighborhood. Along the way you guide will tell you all about the history of the Kerns as you take in some classical Portland residential architecture.

The several stops on tour combined will create a varied and scrumptious meal. You will not leave hungry! Examples on this Portland culinary tour will include ethnic contributions such as Bretagne and Jaliscan food, along with a visit to an eclectic outdoor food hall, dessert from an artisanal gelato shop, approachable (not raw) sushi burritos, and more.
