Lechon

We had a lovely time here end of July. We were travelling through Portland and Lechon was around the corner from our hotel. It was fully booked but they placed outside at the bar and it was super fun. Food was exceptional, staff were incredible. Definitely get the octopus, steak and pork belly bao buns. Smoked grilled bone marrow was outstanding as well.

They did have a separate vegan and vegetarian menu, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options, clearly marked. The plates were shareable so we were able to order multiple things. We tried Piquillo empanadas (one plate had 2, they were delicious, I highly recommended). And we had mushroom baocita, vermicelli dumplings. Both good, small portion size. Staff was very kind and polite. Pretty place, upscale fancy restaurant.

**★★★★★** Honestly, **LeChon is the best restaurant I've been to in the U.S. so far.** This was my second visit, and it completely lived up to my memory. The food is easily at **fine dining quality**, yet the prices are incredibly reasonable. It's one of those rare places where you feel you're getting far more than what you paid for. We didn't make a reservation this time and waited less than an hour for a table, which was well worth it. The biggest strength of LeChon is the food itself. They don't rely on gimmicks or trendy presentation—the quality speaks for itself. I genuinely believe y

I was in town for work and this place was highly recommend recommended both by staff and what we saw online from reviews. A colleague and I made a reservation and while it was for an outside table, they were able to accommodate us to sit at the bar which we really appreciated because of the weather. The menu is mostly small plates and they recommend 2 to 3 dishes per person. We ordered five total. I ordered the jicama salad, octopus and snapper— all of the items were delicious and there was nothing left on my plate. The Bartender forgot my colleague drink, but once we let them know, got it

I kept forgetting to take pictures because we were so excited about the food! My partner and I were here for our anniversary and had an incredible experience. They were busy, but we still felt tended to and they were super sweet about our celebration and even comped the desserts! The food was insane. Like absolutely unreal good - the flavor combinations felt intentional and the presentation was gorgeous on every dish. It was our first time there and we left blown away and ready to come back and eat our way through the rest of the menu. One of the most “worth the hype” restaurants I’ve been to
