Olympic Provisions is a great spot for happy hour, especially if you're an oyster lover - like myself! On Wednesdays, oysters are just $1 each, so of course we had to order two dozen to share! We also tried the tartare, which came with some toasted bread, and the gnocchi - which was rich! I'd give the oysters an 8/10, they were fresh overall, although I did come across a few shell fragments. They're best known for their incredible house cured meats, so I was pleasantly surprised to see oysters on the menu. Even on a Wednesday night, the restaurant was packed. There wasn't a line when we arrived - we made reservations in advance, but seating is definitely limited, and the dining room fills up quickly. read more

10/10 no notes Came in on a whim and was craving tartare. I had previously came from laurelhurst market which was closed randomly? So this was the next on the list and I'm glad I came. Got sat immediately during lunch on a weekday. Ordered the tartare and garlic soup. I asked if they had lattes and they recommended me go down the hall while I wait for my order for a coffee at ranger chocolate how fun! The tartare hit the spot. Ice cold, the meat was fresh, Briney from the olives. Delicious would get again. Garlic soup, very rich. Never had it before it was delightful. Was a quick stop so I only grabbed a couple things but this was such a joy would recommend ! Looking forward to returning to try more things on the menu. read more

Good ambience, I like the restaurant space. The food was underwhelming from the wine to the unwarmed chocolate chip cookie. The short rib highly disappointing, I couldn't even eat most of it - there was some type of almost bbq sauce in it maybe to hide the poor quality and preparation. The charcuterie was great - would recommend sticking with that for sure if you must go. Raddichio salad was good. Service was pretty good. Doubt I'd return. read more

On a good note this is a cute spot with friendly service but on the other hand I was very disappointed with the short ribs due to the lack of flavor and did not taste fresh for me. read more

I cannot think of any restaurant that does cured meats, particularly Alpine style, and fermented veggies any better! I was between lunch and dinner, but just finished a flight of Westward whiskey nearby. I needed to take the hunger edge off and walked by for a bratwurst and cabbage. So delicious cooked to perfection, crispy outside, juicy inside with mustard and a few slices of bread. Great service and ambience! read more

My friends and I had been wanting to try this place. We had a reservation and got in right away. The atmosphere is very low key, comfy and welcoming. Service was excellent, super friendly, helpful and efficient. One friend and I got the Queen of Clubs cocktail, it's similar to an espresso martini, but a bit sweeter and smoother. It was nicely chilled, which was excellent on a heat warning, 100 degree day. My friend also later ordered the Purple Noon, which is a vodka, blackberry and lemon drink. I tasted it and it was like a very refreshing lemonade. We decided to order some things and split them all. The veggie eggs benedict was so flavorful and had lots of different veggies. Their hot cakes are thick, fluffy and like clouds of heaven. They are so good they don't need much butter or syrup. We loved the BLT and the Spanish charcuterie board was also wonderful: great salami, chorizo, ham, brie with cranberry chutney, toasted almonds. Needless to say, we had to get to-go boxes, we were stuffed, but happily so. Olympia Provisions is wonderful. read more

I thought their boards were such a fun and unique way to try different meats and cheeses of the highest quality. I got the Halibut for my entree and my favorite part were the fava beans--they had so much flavor. My boyfriend got the steak special with a blue cheese sauce. The sauce was incredible, but it was so rich I could see myself getting palette fatigue pretty easily. They steak was also too fatty for me, but perfect for him. Our favorite dish was the braised bone-in short rib! Overall great meal and attentive service. read more

Been wanting to go for years and finally found an opportunity on our anniversary. We decided we didn't want a fine dining atmosphere this year and just a more laid-back locale with high-quality cuisines. Their staple, of course is the charcuterie boards and they did not disappoint. Salad was nice but the steak tartare for us was the highlight. They do make a mean, strong, delicious old-fashioned as well. Overall great staff, but they default 20% gratuity and tack on a 3% wellness. I have very mixed opinions about asking customers to pay for employee healthcare when it is the employers responsibility. So I have to pay more just because I order more? But it is what it is. You can opt to remove it however. read more

Our server was lovely & attentive. Even though we were given a brunch menu, she asked the chef to prepare the steak tartare for us as we had always wanted to try it & wanted it from OP's menu. The chef agreed! It was incredible. I ordered a Bloody Maria & it was delish. We also had the pickled veggie plate & it was yummy, too. Great experience. read more

Came here after running the Portland marathon in early October. There was a group of about 8 of us and I was surprised about how slow the service was. We were sitting for a solid hour before we got our food and after running, sitting is the worst thing you could do for your body. We thought it was going to be a quick in and out but it was busy and it seemed like our server was like the only server throughout the whole restaurant because she never checked on us! Also it took forever to get the bill. I didn't care for the industrial look because the seats were hard. I got the pumpkin pancakes and they were underdone. It was way too mushy so the texture was unappetizing. I wish I got something else because the other dishes looked tasty! read more

Best lunch we've had in years! She had a pimped out Caesar with boquerones, I had an incredible Grinder with Capicicolla, Mortadella, and another Italian salami. Paired with a great Spanish red wine, perfect service. Should not be missed. Have not been here in a few years, and it's better than ever. read more

We stopped here on our way back to Seattle and were glad it was close to the highway. Fun rustic warehouse setting. I was disappointed that on weekends they only serve brunch-you can't order off the lunch menu. So no beef tartare. I ordered 3 oysters on the half shell and they were some of the best I've had-plump and tasty. I ordered another 3! Pumpkin soup was really good. Husband liked his pork roll sandwich. We waited a LONG time for our food, which is why i only have a picture of my salad-2/3 of it. It was monstrous, enough for 3. And so delicious! Chicory and radicchio with anchovy vinaigrette and grana padano on top. But i really don't like salad in giant leaves-you have to either cut it all up with a knife or have it hanging out of your mouth like you're eating pho noodles. Husband's side salad was the same. I'd definitely go back when we're in Portland again! read more

Olympia Provisions - Chicory salad with anchovy vinaigrette - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Despite my mediocre review today, I do recommend this restaurant. Olympia Provisions have a place in my heart because I've ate here since their opening year, 15 years ago. Each dish was good, from appetizers to dessert. They are known for their charcuterie and sausages - these are usually the best picks from their menu. I took one star off of the original 4 stars because our breaded deep fried pork dish was still raw. We had to send it back. There was NO apology. The other meat entree we had was good but meat on the small portion. I took another star off because the service was very slow and it took over 45 minutes after ordering for our first dish to arrive. Then the rest of the food trickled in slowly. For example - My soup arrived 1.5 hours later. There is auto-gratuity of 20%, regardless of party size. They also add on 3% for employee wellness. We didn't have a reservation and I am appreciative that they had room for us. However, the wait staff just wasn't on the top of their game. They initially sat us in a very cold part of the restaurant near the entrance and facing the vintage doors that had wind coming in. No heat came in that area at all. There were 4 open tables in the "annex", next to the main dining area and people were leaving since it was around 7:45 now. We had to proactively ask if we can sit in that area since it was warmer with heaters over there. Then they moved us. read more

A Beautiful Setting with Room for Growth in Flavor Olympia Provisions offers a thoughtfully designed space with a vibrant, open-kitchen atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was warm and inviting. While I appreciated the aesthetic and hospitality, the food didn't quite meet expectations for me. I tried the manila clams with sausage, which was attractively plated and paired with a glass of wine. However, I found the flavor composition leaned heavily on salt and richness, and the umami or balancing elements didn't come through as clearly as I had hoped. As someone who enjoys bold seasoning, I typically welcome assertive flavors. But here, the dishes felt more assertive than nuanced. It's clear there's care behind the menu, and perhaps other selections would speak to me differently. I wouldn't rule out returning as there's a lot to appreciate about what they're building here. BUT this visit left me hoping for a bit more refinement in taste to match the polish of the setting. read more

The restaurant is located in what seems to be a warehouse location. Once located, the restaurant has great decorations. Shares part of the building with office space but they really do make it work. One order of charcuterie is enough for one person. The regional ones are a great option. The presentation and quality was great. We also got the Pheasent liver pate with foie gras, it was melt in your mouth satisfying! Service, atmosphere, and food was all amazing. Highly recommended! read more

The Randy's and Italian Grinder were some of the best sandwiches I've had! Their cured meats can't be beat, obviously. Very fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The Randy's had a great balance of sweetness from the apple with the savoriness of the ham and creaminess from the blue cheese. All wrapped up in a crusty yet chewy ciabatta. The Grinder was like no other grinders that I've had. The abundance of meat was not overly salty at all and the vinegar and pickled vegetables added the necessary tang and freshness to the whole sandwich. We also loved the Steak Tartare. Again, very flavorful and well-seasoned. They're amazing at toasting their baguette as well. Nothing to complain about. Open and cozy ambience. Casual yet attentive service. We can't wait to be back for dinner sometimes! read more

An absolutely amazing restaurant! With an adorable and super cozy setup inside an old warehouse, good service and delicious food this spot is a must try! We got the beef tartar, which was amazing, it was flavorfull, tender, and came with fresh bread that was grilled to perfection (seriously, we were weirdly impressed with how perfectly golden brown the bread was prepared lol) Then we got the Randy (apple, blue cheese, ham, etc.) And the grinder (mortadella, a few different salamis, olive oil + vinegar, etc.). They ROCKED! Officially claimed my number 1 sandwiches in Portland. Fresh ingredients that were all chosen to balance each other, put on fresh and perfectly toasted bread, served in pleasingly large portions. Whats not to love! I'll be coming back as soon as I can! read more

Came for lunch and for my first meal in Portland, it really set the bar high! Service was exceptional and had a yummy cocktail to start with. I love sandwiches and The Randy really called to me because I'd never seen a sandwich with ham, apples, blue cheese, hazelnuts, frisee, shallots and aoili. It was hands down the best sandwich I've ever had! Everything was so fresh, the sweetheart ham was savory, and the touch of hazelnuts was crunchy and fabulous. We also ended with the chocolate torte and it was divine. Would definitely be back especially for the sandwich! read more

During our visit to Portland during Labor Day weekend (yes...very delayed review), we hit up Olympia Provisions not once, but twice! It was really that great for us! We were seated in the back area, which is very open and well lit. It's a rather interesting space in that area but I found it quite pleasant. Our dinner eats: Homemade Focaccia This was some very delicious focaccia. We were all over it. When we returned for happy hour a couple of days later, I asked about it since it wasn't automatically given. Unfortunately, it's not ready yet for happy hour. Spanish Charcuterie Board $28 I love a good board - cheese, meats, all of it. This version had three Spanish salamis, sweetheart ham, fresh chorizo, fried almonds, miticana, and piquillo pepper salad. (We were actually at a Farmer's Market earlier that day and did not realize we had actually sampled and purchased some of the salami from the Olympic Provisions booth. On our way out, I noticed the salami in the fridge available to purchase and recognized it then.) Steak Tartare $18 x 2 I love a great steak tartare and theirs did not disappoint. It was so good that we had a second order. The kids really enjoyed their version, as it was the second time having it that weekend. They do an amazing job with hand cutting the meat and it's amazingly fresh and just delightful. One of the best versions I've had. Heirloom Tomatoes $16 It had such great flavors with the tarragon, cottage cheese, and focaccia crumbs. Octopus a la Pancha $24 Tender and not overcooked, with a great salsa verde on top. Cantabrian Brown Anchovies $7 Anchovies on Normandy butter on baguette, pretty simple and delicious. Our return visit 2 days later for happy hour... Tinned La Brujula Sardines $17 Another board - simple with canned sardines, pickled onions, butter, lemon...I probably need to start serving it this way at home. Steak Tartare $18 x 2 This did not disappoint. We got two orders again and everyone is just fighting for the last bit. Overall, both visits were great! Service was personable, generally attentive (more so at dinner than at happy hour), and an enjoyable experience all around. The food looked and tasted amazing and left such a memorable impression of Portland on us. Months later and we still talk about Olympic Provisions. read more

Food: AMAZING!! The steak tartare is a must order, served with crunchy garlicky bread. We also ordered a fish dish, the sole bonne femme, and it was delicious. Super fresh and light. The pasta was pretty good, but the radicchio salad was excellent!! For dessert, we ordered the decadent and rich chocolate torte, which paired perfectly with the salty and creamy homemade ice cream. Definitely left satisfied and super full! Service: nothing exceptional but quick and friendly. No complaints! Interior/Vibe: Feels like you're dining in a modern warehouse. Cool atmosphere but we were super cold while dining in the winter so would recommend dressing warm! Overall we had a great experience and were really impressed by the quality and flavor of the food. Would definitely recommend and will be back to try their brunch and happy hour! read more

One of my favorite spots in Portland! Service is always great and it's super cute inside. I make it a point to visit each time I'm in town since the food is consistently good and the menus switch up from time to time for seasonal ingredients. My favorite charcuterie board is the French board, although the Spanish one is pretty tasty as well. I love their Italian Grinder and the salad that comes with. You can also buy the charcuterie items to go and the aged salamis travel really well. read more

One of our favorite places to eat. Great brunch. Best crab omelette ever! Super friendly service. Excellent cocktails. Cool vibe.

Olympia Provisions exemplifies what I like best about dining in the PNW: excellent food created with high quality ingredients in an unpretentious setting. We had an incredibly nourishing and satisfying meal. The agnolotti was cooked perfectly, the tomato soup was very comforting, and the short ribs had deeply savory umami flavor. The beer list is too short. My one bit of constructive criticism would be to include more styles of local beers to showcase the talented brewers in this city. There's an extensive wine list and a nice cocktail program. The dining room is beautiful industrial chic, and the service is impeccable. It can get loud in there, and the tables can be close together enough to hear your neighbors conversations. It's fine to dress casually and atmosphere is kid-friendly. 20% gratuity is included in the bill. read more

We came by for late dinner and the price was surprisingly packed at 8pm. We got several dishes to share, and agreed that some are better than others. The picked vegetable was excellent, so was roasted beets salad, and chicories salad. The main was average and on the expensive side for the size. The price here is not the cheapest, but definitely paying for the vibe and fresh ingredients. read more

There are a lot more hidden gems in the Central Eastside industrial district than most people realize, as the rough exteriors of these crusty, crumbling constructions conceals these treasures from untrained, unadventurous eyes. Olympia Provisions is one of the best examples of these sequestered sanctuaries: from the outside, this rugged rise of corn-colored concrete practically encourages you to look the other way as you pass by. Other than the easy-to-miss neon "restaurant" sign and the half-open sliding barn doors give any hint as to the wonderful things that await within. What are those things, you may ask? A singular selection of craft cocktails and charcuteries, with all manner of cold cuts and cheeses, shareable sides, and hearty entrées both small and large, all served up in a classy, "secret-speakeasy-meets-deli-counter" ambiance that transports you away from the fragged-and-tagged downtown dystopia just outside its walls. My wife and I split the Italian charcuterie board, as well as a three-cheese selection (choosing a bleu, a goat and a sheep's milk manchego), a glass of crisp, dry white Jacquerre, and a "Terra Incognita" mezcal cocktail: light, citrus-y, and satisfyingly strong and sour. Charcuterie boards are all the rage these days, and Olympia Provisions capitalizes on this trend with profound, potent and pungent proteins of all peculiarities. Our Italian board consisted of two fantastically thick, hard salamis, nice spiced mortadella (with a curiously "autumn" flavor profile; try it and you'll understand what I mean), a juicy Italian sausage that would be very welcome on any breakfast or brunch menu, an assortment of olives, and a robust, fragrant, semi-soft spreadable Taleggio. And baguette slices, of course. Our cheese plate was an exceptional edible arrangement of various tastes and textures, from the smooth and bitter bite of the bleu, the soft and spreadable goat, and the dense but delightful sheep's milk manchego, which was reminiscent of a hard cheddar, and my personal favorite, particularly when paired with the similarly stout salamis. Although, truth be told, the best thing about charcuterie is mixing and matching each element to discover new and exciting flavor combinations, and there was no configuration of these ingredients that disappointed in any way. Finding what works for you is part of the fun! This Olympia Provisions location is a perfect example of why you should never judge a book by its cover, as doing so would deprive you of some truly impeccable edibles, cunning cocktails, an enchanting environment, and stellar service. Don't knock the best butcher on the block (and among the best in the whole city)! read more

This is one of our favorite places to go to in Portland. The vibe the food. The service is all pretty awesome.

The oysters were great, especially on Wednesday, they were $1 each. Great old-fashioned. Service and the ambiance were fine. Nothing spectacular about the Spanish or the Italian tables, not bad, but nothing to write home about. The gnocchi had a great flavor but the texture was off, mushy, and too soft. La Nonna needs to come and show the chef how is gets done. The paste lacked personality and flavor (big disappointment for me), on the other hand, the mortadella was superb. Not impressed with the other dry cuts (I remember them being more flavourful). The chocolate cake was great!!! read more

Another great visit to Olympia Provisions! I actually branched out a little and ordered the quiche. It was delicious! It is crustless and a bit smaller than anticipated, but it still lived up to the OP standards. I asked for a side of jam for my baguette and it was some of the best apple & berry jam I've ever had. As always, the service was excellent and the dining area was clean and cozy. I just can't stay away from this place! read more

Driving up to this restaurant, we realized we were in a sketchy part of town. Like don't park your car here, take an uber. I had hoped the food would be worth it. Unfortunately, the only thing good there is the charcuterie. Forget the entrees, they'll turn your guts before you even get to bed. The zero-proof cocktails were so gross. Both of them. Couldn't finish either of them. Cute atmosphere but everyone working there looked miserable, only pretend smiling when they got up to your table. Otherwise, scowls on everyone. Which made the energy suck. I wouldn't recommend for anything other than a stop for charcuterie during the middle of the day. Definitely not for dinner. read more

Came here on a work dinner and it was absolutely delicious. We had the place basically to ourself...interesting part of town but this place is a literal diamond in the rough.

Ambience spectacular. Food delicious. Wait staff professional attentive but not overbearing. My only comment is I wish for more different variety. I eat a lot of greens and veggies. I wish for a fresh greens and seared veggie board on the side. We will be back!!! read more

I was only here for a short time for my visit in Portland. I will say I did end up walking here and it felt a bit of a sketchy as it's like an industrial area. So for other female solo travelers, I'd recommend maybe ubering here versus what I did which was get dropped off at Morrison Bridge and tried to walk it from there. That being said, I can see this being a very trendy place! I came here for happy hour but wasn't super hungry and only enjoyed a dozen oysters and a glass of white wine. I wish I took advantage of their cheese/meat boards (but def for next time). Despite only getting a few items, there was plenty of room during HH hours and the server was welcoming. read more

When traveling to Portland I think about 2 things - food & wine. Not far off those important topics are the meats & the cheeses. Olympia Provisions is an institution of cured meats, making the most delicious things the best way, humanely and sustainably. It's having your sausage and eating it too! So many nice things to say... one of my favorite brunches in town (Benedict is on POINT with that sweetheart ham), open all day to charcuterie sampling, lots of local wines for dine-in and take-out, but also the SAMMICHES. Anything called Randy has my attention, but this one has loads of ham layered with thinly sliced apples, blue cheese blending with delicate aioli and frisée topped with crunchy toasted hazelnuts on Ciabatta that's at once light-as-air and richly satisfying. I wish I could package and ship these in the subscription package, just TOO MUCH to love. Of note - and this is really something, because Portland isn't known for its service, Logan is cool and fun and a knowledgeable steward of the Meat Dept. He served up a gorgeous sparkling blaufrankisch followed by a new fave - Bow & Arrow's rose. Only downside was not having room for dinner. read more

At the time we went there was the power outage. They were able to operate on a more limited menu. The service was great as the waiters helped us and were courteous. Despite the outage, the food was quite good and filling. The decor and vibes were on point and made a highly enjoyable lunch. I had the italian grinder and found it to be enjoyable despite the modification due to the outage (the bun wasn't toasted). While I think it would have been better toasted as it was designed, the waitress was very transparent about the whole situation and at the end of the day, a good sandwich is a good sandwich. I would definitely eat here again. read more
