As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, Portland’s restaurant scene is buzzing with new openings and returns despite persistent issues with supply chain and the industry’s loss of workers. Forthcoming restaurants that we’ve had our eye on for months will soon open their doors and invite diners to feast on the fruit of their labors, whether it be a longtime pop-up with the newfound capacity to flex their full range of skills in a restaurant space, or the arrival of a new restaurant that complements its established sibling. In the run-up to fall, we’re looking forward to some of the most highly anticipated openings for the season, from the expansion of one of Portland’s most treasured fried chicken carts to a swanky new bar serving Hawaiian Paniolo cuisine.
