    Chorizo breakfast burritos
    Felisa T.

    First time in Portland drove by so decided to make a stop so happy with my choice the food was so flavorful and the portions are more than generous so so delicious

    Very cute and cozy breakfast spot! Love the relaxing color tones inside. The Mont de Cristo was delicious. The french toast was thick and well-battered, the cinnamon taste was very nice. I especially loved the side salad! Those pickled vegetables were refreshing and crunchy. The Spicy Chicken & Waffle was also good. Crispy chicken and cornmeal waffle were a great combo. Their portions were huge. Service was casual and friendly. I'd definitely be open to coming back!

    There's a little bit of a wait on weekend but it's not too bad. This place has great service and a friendly staff. There's variety of coffee cocktails which is great for someone like me who enjoys a little kick to his coffee. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles. My fiancé's biscuits and gravy which was delicious as well. Not a thing I can complain about.

    We came to The Mont at 1030 on a Wednesday morning and got the last free table before they started a wait list. If that doesn't tell you this place has good food then I don't know what does. The vibes are everything you expect from a Portland restaurant, a little grungy, diner fare but with interesting twists and turns for that elevated Portland experience. I got the Mont De Cristo and was blown away with absolutely perfect french toast. Crispy on the outside, pillowy in the middle and a big cinnamon spice flavor. I would definitely recommend The Mont for anyone looking for a great brunch on the east side.

    My partner, his friend and girlfriend and I came here for a little double-date brunch on a Monday around 10am, and it was such a good experience. I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was delicious--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and really satisfying without feeling too heavy. I also got a hot chai, and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. Perfectly spiced, warm, and comforting. The place had a relaxed vibe for a Monday morning, not too busy but still lively enough to feel cozy. Service was friendly and quick, and we never felt rushed. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a slow, easy brunch!

    Mont de Cristo
    Grace C.

    Love the Mont!! On Belmont, this diner-esque eatery doesn't have a lot of seating, but weekdays are probably your best bet for no waits. All the employees I've interacted with were welcoming and friendly. The menu features egg benedicts, scrambles, and some of their well-knowns - french toast, monte cristo, and breakfast burrito. There are also a few selections for lunch! I got the mont de cristo and it was delicious! Thick challah bread, ham, swiss cheese, with a sunny-side-up egg - it is an elevated breakfast sandwich. I love a sweet-savory combo, and this hit the spot! The breakfast potatoes were crispy and perfectly fried - not too oily or salty. Every time I've been here has been a great experience! The Mont may not be one of the big-name-breakfast-places in Portland, but they are not to be overlooked!!

    The "Mont" meat scramble and coffee
    Tom T.

    Nice place for an impromptu breakfast with my dog . Sat in the covered patio which was heated . My "Mont meat " scramble with roasted potatoes was great . Host always filled my coffee AND dog bowl with water . Get here early as this place fills up . This could be my new summer breakfast crush .

    Breakfast Burrito
    Shelby E.

    The wife wanted a breakfast burrito, and the powers of yelp brought us here! Put our name down and had enough time to grab coffee while we waited. Ended up sitting outside (heaters weren't on/working, unsure) but the sun made it comfortable! The burrito was delicious and my bacon breakfast sandwich was simple but so. good. I will be thinking of it for days to come!

    Mont de Cristo
    Sharon C.

    Delish breakfast! Loved the mont de cristo. Waited about half an hour on the weekend. Servers are friendly. Street parking rasy to find. Portions for the mont de cristo were biggg. The potatoes are a must!! So perfectly crispy. Love that the $4 coffee is free refills.

    Stopped by The Mont on a Saturday morning. The wait was a little longer than expected, especially since it didn't seem very busy inside. They use a sign-in sheet outside and seat guests first come, first served rather than by party size. They were out of waffles, so I went with the chicken and pancakes instead. The chicken came as cutlets, which was different from what I expected, but they were seasoned really well. It was my first time trying that combo and surprisingly, it worked. Overall, a solid first visit and definitely won't be my last.

    So as a Uber and Lyft driver you discover some great eateries in the Portland Vancouver area. I recently dropped off a rider at this restaurant, and they highly recommended it. I finally had a chance to stop for breakfast. They were not wrong. My waiter Sophie was great, very welcoming and friendly. It is a fairly small place, but very cozy. I ordered the Chorizo Benedict with Avocado and Potatoes. It was fantastic. You always have to add avocado to an order!! I will be back. BTW do not park in the lot next to the restaurant, your can may not be there when your done....

    The Mont Meat. 3 egg omelette, with bacon, potatoes, toast and avocado.

    What a cute little diner and breakfast spot. Staff was super cool. I ordered the Mont Meat, it was a huge portion and really good. I also loved the VHS videos at the bar playing pretty woman on a TV. The size of an iPad. Felt very vintage in there, loved every second.

    Bloody Mary
    John W.

    My daughter and I went to Mont on SE Belmont St ,for breakfast. Small restaurant, but don't let that discouraged you. Friendly staff and looking at others plates were generous servings. I ordered my favorite sausage biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. My daughter had the breakfast burrito with ham. She took half home. My biscuits were perfectly done, with a slight crunch to them. I also ordered a Bloody Mary, nice. All in I would recommend this place. The staff were wonderful. Food was generous and tasty. Check them out if you can.

My co-worker mentioned wanting some "creole, southern cooking" so I did some more Yelp'ing of course, revealing yet another bookmark, Screen Door! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on Couch St. in the Pearl District is this gem. The outside isn't much to look at, it's straightforward and modern. The restaurant is set on the corner and is adorned with yellow touches with a decent-sized outdoor section. Once inside it feels like a nice old-school mansion set right out of the bayous of New Orleans. Lots of low yellow lighting, woods and bright tiles decorate the bar as well as the seating areas. It's one big open seating area with the bar off to the right. I loved the open concept. It was busy, but wasn't terribly loud. I also LOVED how this place loudly and proudly welcomed LGBTQ+ community with a rainbow of balloons as well as artwork! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues here whatsoever. Food: The drinks were strong, colorful and delightful. Being based on southern cooking I had to try the classing New Orleans Hurricane and Sazerac! The Hurricane was huge, delicious and of course, strong. The Sazerac was practically perfect. First up I checked out the Hush Puppies which are cornmeal fritters w/ pepper jelly. These were delicious, hot, fresh and the pepper jelly had an EXCELLENT spice to it! Next up were the Crispy Fried Oysters which are cooked then crusted with cornmeal, bacon, other seasonings and served with toast points. These were delicious and literally made me forget I was eating oysters. Next up I tried the fried chicken that came with buttermilk-battered, crispy fried boneless chicken breast & thigh w/ buttery mashed potatoes, tasso ham gravy and collard greens. Absolutely fantastic. Chicken was crispy, juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were also moist and left my mouth watering after each bite. Collard greens were fresh and everything I wanted them to be. I also got the chance to try the Chicken & Waffles which comes with 1, 2 or 3 pieces of chicken depending on how hungry you are, a sweet potato waffle and of course syrup while everything is dusted with powdered sugar. Fantastic. The savory and the sweet just balanced themselves so well. My co-worked also let me try his macaroni & cheese which was damn good. Baked so it had that layer of crispy cheese across the top and was so cheesy, so gooey underneath. Value: Macaroni & Cheese Side = $7.00 Don't Tell Me What to Do! (Drink) = $13.00 Original Sazerac (Drink) = $15.00 Baked Oysters = $12.00 Chicken & Waffles (3-Pieces) = $29.00 Fried Chicken Dinner = $27.00 It's not fine-dining pricing, but it's not cheap either. The food and the ambiance are absolutely worth the price point. The quality speaks for itself. In conclusion, I LOVED it here at Screen Door. It's worthy of its great rating, stellar reputation and pricing. I am excited to pay this place a visit again in the future when I make it back here.

It had a small kick but was really nice and worked really well with the dish. The potatoes were one of the best I've had and seasoned so well. The chicken & waffles were also super great but a little heavy! We really liked the sweet potato waffles as it brought a unique cozy flavor and paired well with the chicken. We were really surprised that the chicken breast was moist and fried really well. The batter wasn't heavy and 1 piece was more than enough for 2 people. Definitely come with hungry stomach ready to eat!! Portions are massive and priced reasonably for the amount of food!

Foie gras dumplings were also memorable but I don't necessarily need to get it again. The arugula salad was refreshing although I'd ask to have it accompany the duck stacks next time to have a refreshing side. I love fish so I expected to love the chicken fried trout but it was just alright compared to the other dishes. The Paris brest was excellent. Personally, a little too much passionfruit tartness for me but loved the milk crumbles. Heartless Rita mocktail tasted too much like juice for me.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers.

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side.
