Madison Southのレストラン

I had the pleasure of dining at Trela and could not recommend it more. From start to finish, this is an experience. The ambience was cozy and well curated. The food was delicious. The flavors were authentic to Greek cuisine and it was obvious that every dish was made with care and love. This is a family owned restaurant and you feel like a part of the family when dining. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of Greece in Portland.

Service was impeccable, wait time for everything was low and my girlfriend and i really felt like the staff went out their way to make our Valentine’s Day dinner special. Drinks were absolutely stellar, the Jell-O shots are always worth it and a great way to start the night. I got a drink with seaweed and whiskey that I was a little apprehensive to try because it sounded weird but it was one of our favorite flavors of the night. The roti and blistered tomato curry are what dreams are made of, and the beef tartare is NOT to be missed! Gado Gado is one of the best spots in town and the rice table is so much you will keep thinking about it for a while.

I always leave Kachka feeling like my trip was worth it! Last night was no exception. The flavors are always exciting and unique, but there is still an overarching theme of the food being very comforting. I also cannot compliment their vodka selection enough. We got a vodka flight, and every shot was delicious and surprising. The staff were very friendly and attentive, adding to the charm. PS: If you can go during happy hour, I recommend their little combo plate w/ the cabbage roll and borscht! See my photo.

We had a really memorable dinner with our 12 year old daughter who loved the pizza. The menu variety offered something for everyone. The preparation of the gnocchi (2 large rather than the smaller finger-sized) was a neat and delicious twist and the skirt steak was cooked perfectly. Our server had spot-on wine recommendations that paired nicely with our meals. Excited for a return visit.

We are long time fans of Laurelhurst market, but don’t go as often as we used to since we moved to NE. We had dinner on a Monday night specifically to order the cassoulet special. What an amazing decision! The cassoulet was made with sausage, duck confit, and bacon. Each meat was delicious and the beans were spectacular. The portion was huge. I shared some with my husband and still had enough for lunch today. This is now one of my all time favorite meals in Portland. Service is always great!
