The Original Dinerant ~ Portland Oregon
I know the word “dinerant” isn’t really a word but the term fits this modern vintage replica restaurant perfectly. The Original Dinerant, designed by David Ashen of D-ASH Design (NY), combines the sophistication of mid-century Palm Springs with the casual feel of the classic American roadside diner. They have an interesting menu with a VooDoo Doughnut burger (yes, instead of buns, doughnuts!), poutine (I had to look this up but it is a standard in Canada), and some of the best breakfast around. I had the biscuits with the best veggie gravy I have had yet, that was served with a baby field green salad and loved it all! They serve Stumptown Coffee and the flourescent lit, multi-tiered, rotating dessert case (every diner has one) as you enter boasts the tallest carrot cake and thickest pies around.
The Original Dinerant is located at:
