Grandpa’s Cafe is open this weekend. Stop by Grandpa’s Cafe (located inside the Polish Hall building) on Saturday, November 20, 9am to noon for Polish food and grocery items, including sausages, pierogi, and lots of Christmas themed Polish treats. 3832 N Interstate (entry from Failing Street)
And on the topic of pierogis… Head to St. John the Baptist Ukranian Orthodox Church in Sellwood for pierogis, this time from our Ukranian friends. They also have cabbage rolls and Ukranian garlic smoked sausages, every Saturday from 11am to 2pm. Takeout and take home (frozen) are both options. 8014 SE 16th Avenue, Portland
And again, about dumplings… Seattle biz Dough Zone Dumpling House is opening a location in downtown/south Portland, reports both The Oregonian and Eater. The space was originally home to Lucier, Quartet, and River Space restaurants. Look for dumplings—bao, XLB, buns, and more—there in Spring 2022. 1910 S River Drive, Portland
Reshuffling programs at Fressen Artisan Bakery, but it’s all delicious. Look like they will close the Biergarten dinner service for winter. As a result they will have additional staff to help with their cafe and pastry program, expanding it a bit more. Also: looks like a Christmas market is in the works, as well as wine tasting nights. 7075 NE Glisan Street, Portland
