About this Neighborhood

Kenton runs on character, its 15 restaurants earning a solid 4.5 on Yelp and its scene built around dive bars, coffee and unpretentious plates. The local roster hits several notes, from the beloved King Burrito Mexican Food to the Peruvian cooking at Casa Zoraya and the bistro-pizzeria mashup at Fino. The surrounding mix of vintage shops, a park and convenience stores gives the neighborhood its lived-in, offbeat feel. With four cafes and a few grocers rounding things out, it's a north Portland pocket where the personality outweighs the polish.
