Great atmosphere. Came for Saturday brunch. Found street parking at 10 AM just around the corner (paid. Parking Kitty). Service was perfect. Food was very good. I strongly suggest you make a reservation. We made a reservations a day in advance.

I’m sad we drove by this place hundreds of times and didn’t stop in. What a delight! Vibrant atmosphere, people, and of course food. One of the better ham Benedicts I’ve had, top 2 in Portland so far. And the French toast, worth it, but ask for extra cream, and for sure add the bacon.

Came here around 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get seated right away. The place is very cute with live plants decor and has a number of healthy food options! I got the vegan bowl with sweet potatoes and loved it! If you aren’t vegan adding an egg to it will also taste amazing! Highly recommend, will be back

Had brunch here today and not only was the food amazing (as always) but the service was amazing. I had a cute little visitor in my food today, a little slug, and they promptly replaced my food and comped my meal. It also spoke to how fresh and local the ingredients were and of course I didn’t mind, but appreciated the service. Have had drinks here before and it’s always a great time with good drinks and vibes.

We had brunch here, and while the food was beautiful, the flavor wasn’t really there. The GF bread was very dense, the avocado toast’s only flavor was the olive oil on top, and the eggs were a bit bland. The potato’s were crispy, but also mediocre. The meal all together was good, but not worth the price tag due to lack of flavors and complexity.

I am so glad I came here!!! We sat at the bar. Taylor was the bartender and she served the best drinks!! She was so fun and friendly. I ordered two drinks that were on the menu (stumptown martini and humbug bramble) and one off the menu that Taylor made up. All very delicious! For food I had a half order of the pancakes and the buttermilk fried chicken. Also delicious! Between the food and Taylor's great service and talent as a cocktail crafter, I will definitely be back.

A Brunch Oasis in Portland: Bar West Nails It

If you're tired of predictable brunch fare, Bar West is your answer. Nestled in NW Stumptown, this cozy spot's vibrant atmosphere instantly set the mood for a perfect start to my weekend.

Their menu offers delightful twists on classics. I had to try the West Wich Sandwich – a masterpiece of a fried egg, juicy Applewood sausage, vibrant kale, and a spicy tomato jam that brought everything together, all piled on a pillowy brioche roll with melted cheddar. Talk about flavor fireworks! My friend couldn't resist the Proper Breakfast. Thick slabs of smoky bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, award-winning Dos Hermano's sourdough toast, and those incredible Calabrian potatoes... brunch goals right there.

Ask for a side of their homemade Habenero sauce 🤯 (mind-blowingly sweet-hot creeper!)

Of course, mimosas are mandatory. However, we opted for Smith Bergamot tea and VERY good coffee. Wines by the glass don't disappoint. And the service? Impeccable, adding to the whole experience. The music is just too loud enough to keep your shoulders rolling to the 70s R&B jams!

If you want a Portland brunch with incredible food, delightful drinks, and a warm, welcoming vibe, Bar West won't disappoint. Trust me, it's the proper way to start your weekend.

Back 4 more - our server who "doesn't work there" was hilarious and charming. Colored socks!!! Thanks for making us feel welcome. We met Phyllis the Chihuahua! Breakfast was slam dunk. Cardamom iced Cold Brew - would be better with booze, but what a treat! The atmosphere is so charming and the food is always good!

A stunning experience. When I walked in I was greeted by the most charming host who quickly sat my party of five. We had all just arrived from a weekend in Saint Tropez and was properly famished. The atmosphere reminded me of places I often frequent in Berlin: atmospheric, warm, and intimate. Our food arrived promptly and the plating was perfect. Honest and delicious, I licked the plate as it felt right. Once I’m back from Ibiza this is the first stop I’ll make.
