“This tour was a great addition to our stay in Portland! All the food was super good. The portions given were very reasonable considering you’re trying many different foods; definitely did not end on an empty stomach! If anything I wish I had more room since everything was so good we wanted to finish each dish completely lol. A lot of the food we tried might not have been things we’d regularly would go for so it was great to have the chance to try them because they were delicious! Covid-friendly too; masks worn (unless eating), outdoors, & spread out from others. Also gave us great feedback on places in Portland and even gave cute little souvenirs, so sweet! If ever in Portland, for sure check out one of their food tours; won’t regret it!”

“Great way to experience Portland’s amazing food scene. My tour guide (Michelle) took us to some of the best food carts and pods in Portland and we had some top quality food from many different countries (Belgium, Russia, Burma, Thailand, Canada) . Portions are generous so you will leave full. A great experience.”

“If you love food and you’re visiting Portland, please go on this tour! Our tour guide Michelle is so sweet and gave us really interesting info on each of the food carts we went to. The portions are generous, so bring an empty stomach! Every food cart had something incredible to offer. Also a plus for this tour was that it’s very Covid friendly. Michelle was stocked on hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes. She also made sure to keep us all comfortable and ensure safety while we dined. Thank you Lost Plates! You are amazing.”

“I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portland! We did the evening tour, and I was not disappointed. Our guide was absolutely wonderful, so knowledgeable and passionate about the city, it’s history and everything is has to offer. All of the places we visited were fantastic. It was great to see the culture and true Portland gems that weren’t “touristy.” The tour was my favorite part of the whole trip – thanks Lost Plate!”

“We had a wonderful Portland food tour with Michelle! She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, the donut and coffee history of Portland, and many other little tidbits about the city. It was a great way to learn about the city and taste some delicious food! We were stuffed at the end of the tour. Michelle also gave us a great recommendation for wine tasting and other restaurants in town. I love that this is a small family-run business. Everyone we met was delightful! I would definitely do another tour with Lost Plate.”

“I’ve lived in Portland for almost 5 years now and hadn’t been to any of the 5 stops on the tour! The coffee education was fantastic – I learned a lot about the history of Portland and coffee and their relationship. The donuts were delicious and I loved the variety and styles of shops and donuts & coffee we tried out! I’ll be taking more friends and family on this tour!”
