Mother's Bistro & Bar

We came here because of all the great reviews online, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Nothing disappointed us from start to finish. The portions are huge, especially considering the price. We ordered the Shepherd's Pie and the homemade hash, and both were hearty, comforting, and packed with flavour. You definitely won't leave hungry. The atmosphere is exactly what we were hoping for. It's simple, cozy, and unpretentious, with a warm, homey feel that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your meal. It feels like one of those classic local restaurants that has been serving good comfort

Overall, it’s a nice place, and I’d be interested in returning for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Dinner, however, was underwhelming.

This was the very first restaurant we visited in Portland, and we headed straight there from the airport for breakfast. The food was absolutely delicious and set a wonderful tone for our trip. I can say without a doubt that if I return to Portland, I will definitely be coming back here to try it again

Mother’s Bistro & Bar absolutely lives up to its reputation as one of Portland’s best breakfast spots. The moment you walk in, the cozy, home-style atmosphere sets the tone—this place is all about comfort food done right. Service was friendly and efficient. If you’re in Portland and want a breakfast that feels both comforting and high quality, Mother’s is a must-visit.
