Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour

Overview

Portland’s historic Mississippi District is home to killer live music venues, eclectic shops, and some of the best restaurants, bars and food carts in any city – especially if you know what to look for. On our walking food tour of Mississippi Avenue, that’s exactly what I’ll show you!

Some of the delicious food and drinks we'll sample:
- Perfectly cooked egg sandwiches on fresh-baked sourdough.
- Locally roasted coffee or craft cocktail (or coffee cocktail!).
- Mouth-watering cake & brioche donuts with seasonal ingredients.
- Deliciously authentic cubanos and sweet plantains with mojitos.
- Melt-in-your-mouth brisket & more from the West Coast’s #1 BBQ spot.

Come hungry, thirsty, and curious! The food is the star of this tour, but you’ll also learn about historic Mississippi Ave and the city of Portland. This neighborhood is weird and wonderful, and I’ll share some of the most interesting tidbits along the way.

I had the best time on my Food tour with Danny! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the area. My favorite was the Cuban sandwich, and the BBQ felt like a piece of TX home. To top things off, he gave me some great ideas of things to see and taste on the rest of my trip. Looking forward to another adventure with him soon! -Erin F

Hey Erin, Thanks for the good company and the 5-star review! So glad you enjoyed it. Matt's BBQ is legit, but I still get a little nervous when a Texan is tasting it lol. Def look us up next time you're in town! -Daniel

Thoroughly enjoyed the Mississippi Avenue food tour with Danny. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon with friends and to be able to sample a variety of the food and drinks Mississippi has to offer. It was also a great reminder of local spots and I can now recommend places and dishes I might not otherwise have tried.

Hey Shannon, Thanks for joining us on the food tour and for your 5-star review! I'm always happy when a knowledgeable local like yourself enjoys it so much. Btw, Fried Egg I'm In Love is opening a brick-and-mortar location further down on Mississippi Ave this week and adding some new GF items I think you'll enjoy. Hope to see you around! -Daniel

As a well-traveled New Yorker, I have thoughts about food. I generally trust other New Yorkers to share my opinions about what is indeed noteworthy, from a fine dining stop (and perhaps especially) to a hole in the wall. Hence, I had high expectations for a food tour from a fellow New Yorker. The stops were spot on. Aside from being varied, unique and delicious, the rations were perfectly considered to give us a proper taste but not weigh us down. What really sealed the deal? THE VIBE. Danny had in-depth knowledge about each menu and stop, but it never felt like a cheesy tour or overly educational. He is easygoing and funny – one of those people who naturally brings a group together. I was the “single lady” on my tour, and it could have felt awkward, but Danny’s innate gift for hosting brought the group together, and I ended the tour (pleasantly full) with a new group of friends I plan to see when I next visit Portland. Book this tour. You won’t regret it!
