Best Historic Restaurant in Portland · Portland, OR
Huber's Cafe is Portland's oldest restaurant, operating since 1879 and settled since 1910 in the Oregon Pioneer Building beneath arched stained-glass skylights and mahogany paneling. The Louie family has run it for over a century, and its signatures are unwavering: roast turkey dinners and flaming Spanish coffees mixed tableside.
A downtown time capsule of terrazzo floors and old-Portland atmosphere, Huber's pairs genuine history with the theater of its blue-flamed coffee — a ritual the city has watched for generations.
