Caprial's Bistro

Critics-at-Large	The smart way to pick the best places to eat, stay, shop, have fun and to do business with because you are the critic! It is truly the people's choice!

For many years, Caprial's Bistro has ranked in the top 20 restaurants in Portland. Recent expansion has only increased the number of diners who can appreciate the cuisine at a given time. Unfortunately, the expansion has led to hard surfaces everywhere within the restaurant and the noise from a full house at lunch can be a bit much, but you're there to eat, so ignore the noise and enjoy.

The open kitchen turns out excellent soups to supplement the reasonably priced menu. Lunch for three without wine would typically be about $30-$35, dinner a bit more.

The Caesar salad with salmon is excellent, as is the bruschetta. Try the salad with crab for $10.95. You won't be disappointed.
