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.

Sherri was a great host and guide. She really does her best to get to know her guests and cater to their likes while at the same time opening you up to new foods and tastes. I went back again to a few of the places she showed us during our stay in Portland. Highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your trip so you can do the same.

Sherri is an awesome host! She has curated a number of local restaurants and shops. Not only is there a great sampling of food, she tells the story behind the businesses. Who are the chefs and why did they come here? What makes the food so great? I discovered places I wouldn't happen upon otherwise. We chatted about neighborhoods and Portland's history. Rule of advice: come hungry! If you tour at lunch, you will not need dinner (at least I didn't). Days later, I went out of my way to come back to this area and try some more of the local offerings.

Sherri, the owner / tour leader is very informed, personable and fun. The Kerns neighborhood is funky and charming. The food and beverage choices were varied, unique and yummy. Even a friend who has lived in Portland for 40 + years discovered new places to visit and learned more about the neighborhood and Portland. All three of us on the tour thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend going.
