Tréla brunch launches this weekend. I heard from Napoleon Tzakis, one of the owners of the Greek taverna Tréla, that they are starting up brunch this weekend: “Here at Trela we are planning on opening for Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, starting March 8th.” I can only imagine how delicious it will be. 6000 NE Glisan Street, Portland
Face Plant is now open. ICYMI, the new plant-based burger joint, Face Plant, has opened. They have taken an old McDonald’s that had a lot of issues in the past and re-opened it with a small but focused menu. There’s burgers, fries, nugget, shakes, and soda; coffee is coming soon. Wishing them only the best on this journey. 3110 N Going Street, Portland
