Dining at Bellpine in downtown Portland (900 SW Washington St, Portland, OR 97205) feels like a menu designed for people who want to graze, share, and then commit to something bigger. I liked starting with the shareable comforts-House Made Brioche-before leaning into the seafood-forward plates like Salmon Crudo and the rich, showy Albacore And Wagyu Beef Tartare. For a more playful bite, the Crab Berliner and Shrimp "Hotdog bring a fun, bar-snack energy, while the “larger shareables” such as Pnw Sturgeon, Pork Belly, Brussels Sprouts And Miso, Beef Tataki And Walla Walla Onions, and King Salmon And Potato Terrine read like main-event options built for splitting. If you’re visiting during the seasonal feature, the Oregon Wine Month Pairing Menu stands out with Pnw Oyster With Oregon Dulse Seaweed, Grilled Local Albacore, Skewered Iberico Pork "Presa, and a bright finish in Citrus Sphere. The bar side is equally tempting-Black Garlic Fries, Prime Rib Sliders, Baby Romaine Salad, Roasted Garlic Wings, and another appearance of Crab Berliner-and the drinks list keeps pace, from cocktails like The Gold Standard, Mi Amor, and Cloud 9 Espresso MartiniLast Mccall to zero-proof picks (Express Yourself, You Made Me Blush, Sour Power). Wine lovers have plenty to explore across bubbles, white, and red (including 2019 Argyle Chardonnay, 2022 Sacred Shore Albariño, and 2020 Hedges Cabernet Sauvignon Blend), and the tap lineup-Breakside Ipa, Ecliptic Hazy Ipa, and Oakshire Espresso Stout-rounds out a menu that balances Pacific Northwest ingredients with indulgent, modern flair.
