Things To Do in Portland

Recommended Restaurants in close proximity to The Benson Hotel include:

Al-Amir Lebanese Restaurant: Exceptional service, unbelievable food served with flair. The family style meal is a real pleaser even for 2 people.

Saucebox: A varied menu with food for every taste. Modern atmosphere, unique drink menu, good people watching.

Kells Irish Pub: #1 Irish pub in the nation! Hugely popular, great Irish food, live music, big bar.

Portland City Grill: 30 floors up!  Offers the best view of “Bridge Town”. Expensive but incredibly good. The Happy Hour bar menu rivals most restaurants.  Perfect for those of you who do your own expense reports!

Mother’s Bistro: Unreal food! A modern twist on comfort food, very much like mom’s (unless your mom can’t cook!).

Henry’s Tavern: Not a traditional “tavern”. Young crowd with LOTS of beers and a great menu. Longest walk but you get to go straight up Burnside Street which is itself an experience.

Rock Bottom Brewery: A great Portland atmosphere with 2 bars, pool tables, and great food!  A casual restaurant and bar that is sure to leave you full and satisfied.

Recommended Outdoor Activities in the Portland area:

Portland World Class Gardens: In about 2 days of sight-seeing, you can travel within the Portland area to see 4 world class gardens. 

Wine Tours: Enhance your vacation by visiting Portland's famous "Wine Country" and taste at wineries and vineyards.

Parks & Outdoor Activities: Portlanders have a reputation: we’re known for our inability to sit still. And of that label, we couldn’t be more proud. After all, when Outside magazine calls your city one of “The 10 Greatest Places to Live,” inactivity just isn’t an option.
