The Vibrant Kerns Hood - East Burnside and more

Overview

In this Portland food tour, we will explore the charming streets of the Kerns neighborhood where we will sample some of the tastiest bites that Portland has to offer. This once sleepy neighborhood has blossomed into a Portland bazaar for diverse and delicious treats. Our five stops will create a varied and scrumptious meal and whet your appetite for what the Kerns has to offer. Examples include ethnic contributions such as Jaliscan and Bretagne food, a visit to an eclectic outdoor food hall, charcuterie, and dessert from an artisanal ice cream shop..

You will not leave hungry!

While the Kerns extends more broadly, its core is centered on Restaurant Row, on NE 28th between Burnside and Glisan St.

We will walk a total of 1.3 miles through tree lined streets and hipster hangouts while we visit six foodie hot spots in the Kerns neighborhood. Along the way we will also talk about the history of the Kerns and take in some classical Portland residential architecture.

All ages welcome.

Visit a food cart, which is tucked away in the Kerns hood. It's a real hidden gem and depending on the day, we'll be enjoying either Korean fried chicken, or savory crepes and lavender lemonade. There is even a Beer Bus (yes, a bus with beer on draft coming out the side) on the premises.

We had a great time with Paula! The food was amazing. My favorite was the sushi burrito. I highly recommend if you are in the area looking for something to do.

Thank you so much for making the Vibrant Kerns hood tour part of your time in Portland. Yup, agreed, those sushi burritos are addictive!

Paula was fun and informative and the food and drinks were great. It was a very hot day, so she adjusted things so we had more (air conditioned) indoor spots. All in all a good time. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that Viator, which actually booked the tour we found through TripAdvisor, sent us to the wrong place, causing us to make an extra 15 minute walk in the heat to meet up with Paula.

Hi Rich, Thank you for making the Vibrant Kerns food tour part of your Portland visit. Paula let me know that you were directed to the incorrect location (I didn't put it together that this was coming from VIator until it happened a 2nd time). So I am sorry about that. And again, glad your group and Paula had fun, once you all connected.

Sherri was great! Very knowledgeable and made our tour a true delight. Delicious food and drinks at each stop, with interesting historical stories of the area. Be sure you check for messages from Sherri for your meeting point, because Viator gave us the wrong address!
