Our dinner at Swiss Hibiscus was a truly special experience. Guy Fieri ate there! We stumbled upon…read morethe place by accident - I might have thought it was a coffee or dessert shop from the name, but that's on me. It's a cozy, comfortable space with a Swiss flag and one of those giant horns like in the Ricola ads. I ate with three people and we split up to tackle a good sampling of the menu. We had the Weinerschnitzel (chicken) and Jägerschnitzel (pork). The meal was well-paced. The salad dressing was unique but familiar, they serve it with hot, crusty bread and on the salad (cabbage and house) I could have drank the dressing. I shouldn't, but could have. The schnitzels were fantastic - both the brown butter and the brown gravy. Sides: Spätzle (the garlicky noodles) and the hash brown thing with the bacon. You guys, we ate EVERYTHING. We've never seen our 10 year old eat so much good food. (To be fair, the boy and I had only eaten Chex Mix that day while my wife was at the spa...but I digress.) We felt well taken care of. This was my first time visiting as an out-of-towner and I felt as welcome as visiting family for dinner. We finished the meal with the Lilikoi Cheesecake. My kid surprised me by saying "That's passionfruit!" (which he learned from the Kona Ice truck). Light and decadent. Great meal!

We ordered a rosti for an appetizer which doesn't disappoint, just like how I remember from Zurich. We both ordered dishes with spaetzle, schnitzel and goulash. I opt for a salad with the famous Martin's dressing while my wife gets a French onion soup she claims is the best she's ever had and that's saying something, because we've eaten 3 Michelin Star French onion soup so I try it and now I'm a believer. The chicken broth is so tasty, the onions and cheese are wonderful. It's the simple things really that can make one happy. After conversation and lots of eating, we soon find we've devoured our plates. It's been awhile since I had really good spaetzle so this was a treat. Service was attentive at every step. The dining experience like high end but in a more casual setting. Would go here again. Recommend reservations since seating is limited.

The lemon curd peppercorn meringue was also delicious and was executed perfectly- such a unique combination.

We were genuinely excited and looking forward to a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short, especially given the price point and strong Yelp rating. The oxtail croquettes arrived cold, which was surprising for a fried item and set a disappointing tone early. The biggest issue was the hamachi crudo. It had a strong fishy smell with clear hints of ammonia and tasted far from fresh, bordering on spoiled. There was a lingering aftertaste that unfortunately affected everyone's palate for the rest of the meal. We sent it back due to quality concerns. My family and I grew up eating liver and mousse from our own family recipes and from many different culinary traditions. The chicken liver mousse here was creamy in texture but lacked depth and subtle sweetness, and tasted overly mineralized. It was the first chicken liver mousse I have ever not finished. The crab beignets were acceptable, though they could have used more crab. The accompanying sauce was well executed. The miso deviled eggs were tasty, and the anchovy add-on worked nicely. The Parisienne gnocchi, at $40, was not memorable and leaned heavily salty. Steak frites were standard, a dish that is generally hard to fumble. Unfortunately drinks. The shift in service after we sent back the hamachi was obviously uncomfortable and noticeable. The energy dramatically changed. There was little interest in engaging with our feedback. For a meal that totaled over $200, we left disappointed and still hungry. Portland offers many stronger dining options at this price point that deliver both quality and hospitality. Disappointing feels like an understatement. I am genuinely puzzled by the high rating based on the food quality and service we experienced. We will not be returning, nor would I recommend it based on this visit.

We ordered the large Mjesano for four. We should have ordered the regular which still would have had more than enough meat for the four of us. Had we done this, we would have also had room to try the Shopska salad with Bosnian Feta and then the baklava and the Tufahiji for dessert. As it was we had no room for the salad and apple dessert. That was our mistake , not the restaurant's. All the meats were delicious but the Cevapi was something special. The baklava was a great finish. Oh... and the pita was amazing!

We had two Piroshky meals, Philly and chicken pesto. The dough is exquisite, and the filling has me questioning my own ability to season the food I make correctly. Eastern Europeans know how to season chicken to another level. We got a third Piroshky to take home, but it didn't make it. We ate that as well. And finished everything off with a Beautifully named passion flakes pastry. Puff pastry with whipped cream and blackberries. We left with several pounds of frozen pelmeni and stuffed cabbage. It's a family run place. And we really appreciate them for being so kind and accommodating to our little dog. These are great people. Update: We had some of the stuffed cabbages tonight, and now we are going to have to make this trip more often. They are excellent. They are smaller than the stuffed cabbages I am used to, but I am now converted to the smaller ones. They just cook easier and work better this way. Second update: We purchased 3 pounds of pelmeni and had some the other night. The beef and chicken. The bags are great and resealable. They are every bit as good as Kachka. We will definitely buy more, and I can't wait to try the salmon next. Thank you, Pierogi Place, for an outstanding experience.

It was a warm day and the staff immediately brought her out a bowl of water, which was a thoughtful gesture and shows the level of service they offer to their patrons. Our server, I believe her name was Casey, was lovely. She was friendly and seemed to know a lot of the regulars by name which gave the restaurant a welcoming feel. I ordered the Danish pancakes (Æbleskiver), and they were absolutely delicious. They came with house-made lemon curd and lingonberry jam, and both were incredible. The lemon curd was rich and creamy with just the right amount of tartness, while the lingonberry jam added a sweet-tart flavor that paired perfectly with the fluffy pancakes. Four of them were more than enough to fill me up. My husband ordered the Pytt i Panna, a traditional Swedish hash made with crispy potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, topped with two soft-baked eggs and served with pickled beets and Nordic rye toast. It was hearty, comforting, and full of flavor. The pickled beets were a nice contrast to the savory hash, and everything on the plate was scrumptious! Between the delicious food, welcoming service, and dog-friendly patio, we had a very nice time and it was a good send-off before our walk through the woods to find Ole Bolle. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

A fantastic place to start the day. We came early for the Old Bolle Troll (can visit anytime during…read moredaylight hours) and then came back Broder Soder for brunch at 8AM (Saturday) - no wait upon opening despite having a group of 6. We started with the cardamom latte (rich and nutty) and the matcha marzipan (sweet and with enough aromatic almond flavor) and then proceeded to feast. We started with the Danish pancake donuts- lovely in that they were both savory and sweet, comes with lemon curd and jam. The lefse breakfast was really interesting - a layered thicker 'crepe' with cheese and egg. The fish plate was our family favorite - an epic collection of shrimp, mini shrimps, gravlax, pickled herring (our favorite) various breads, crackers and sauces. Very well presented, fun to eat, and enough to share. We also ordered the Swedish meatballs - rich hearty but small and few (5 total). Luckily, we had plenty of other food and this dish was great with sherry mushroom sauce and a delicious potato latke-like side. Our server was also incredibly personable, friendly, and helpful in our food choices which we always appreciate.

We started with the family-size Smokey Roque salad. Everything tasted fresh, and the blue cheese dressing was flavorful without being overpowering. The homemade bread arrived warm and delicious with just a touch of salt, I could have eaten the entire loaf! For our entrées, we ordered the Spicy Sausage Rigatoni, Pork Ragu, Al Tartufo, and the pork chop which was the special for the day (forgot the name). I chose the Vongole, and it was out of this world! Pasta with clams is one of my favorite dishes, so I thought I knew what to expect, but this version was so much more flavorful. The herbs added wonderful flavor, while the hint of lemon enhanced the dish without overpowering it. Every clam was open, so none went to waste. When my plate arrived, was sure I would have leftovers to take home but I enjoyed it so much that I ate every bite including the pasta!! The restaurant's website says they use "fresh, high-quality ingredients sourced from local, sustainable, and organic farms," and they absolutely live up to that promise!! The reception area may seem small when you first walk in, but don't let that fool you. We sat in the dining area on the left, but the other side has a bar, additional tables, a small private dining room that seats about a dozen people, and another larger dining space. The restaurant feels cozy and inviting while still offering plenty of room. Alex, our server, was wonderful. When he learned that my brother and sister-in-law live nearby and had visited before, he took the time to note their names. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel even more personal! We walked about 15 minutes to the restaurant. It was a fun way to begin and end the evening, and no one had to drive after enjoying wine and margaritas! Bethany's Table is worth supporting not only because it's a neighborhood bistro, but because they do an excellent job!!

I got: - Pierogo plate: 6 pierogies topped with grilled onions, served with sauerkraut salad, pickled beets & horseradish (although mine came with coleslaw instead, which I am happy about because I don't like beets), and sour cream. $13.50 The grilled onions were almost caramlised, with the perfect tinge of tartness from the sauerkraut, fresh crunch from the coleslaw, and softness from the sour cream perfectly balanced out the pierogies. - (Polish) kiełbasa & salad plate: Homemade smoked kiełbasa served with sauerkraut salad and grilled onions. It also came with pickled beets & horseradish, and deli mustard. $11.00 Fresh, hot, thick, juicy, and scrumptious, especially with the mustard and saurkraut. I cannot recommend them enough - they accept both card and cash, so please, please go! All of it reminded me of the food I'd eat in Logan Square in Chicago (a Polish-Mexican neighbourhood) and my Polish family. It's all prepared fresh, by hand, with locally ingredients sourced ingredients. The prices seemed to have increased, but I understand that times are what they are, with inflation, etc.,; I'm happy to support small businesses, particularly when the food is this delicious. Pro-tip: If you can, buy their frozen pierogies so you can have some for later! I walked here, so I can't speak to parking, but it's Portland - walk if you can; it's well worth it. We sat at one of the benches in the park where the market was taking place and enjoyed the food while people watching in the amazing cool weather.
