Looking for a good excuse to eat your way through charming, welcoming Portland? We know, we know; it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. Chew on this: During the entire month of March, PDX serves up 31 days of delectable fare at a price that may—upon first glance—seem like a typo. Portland Dining Month means three-course dinner menus available at 120-plus restaurants for just $29 (seriously!).

For the eighth year, this culinary extravaganza gives locals and visitors alike the chance to dive in at established classics and buzzed-about newbies that’ve recently joined the Portland restaurant circuit. This seems a great opportunity to try gems like Tusk, Lincoln and Kachka, or use this helpful list to find another alluring option (or options!).

You can feel good about booking tables, too, since the event once again partners with Oregon Food Bank, making a donation to the hunger relief organization for every reservation booked through the OpenTable links on PortlandDiningMonth.com.
