I'm trying to keep the European vibe going for as long as possible, which is why I dragged us out of the house yesterday morning in search of breakfast. Portland has plenty of brunch places, but few breakfast places that are open early. Even fewer have outdoor tables, and outdoor tables are key to continuing my European vacation fantasy (along with avoiding cooking). Both boys were craving pancakes and all I wanted was to sit in the sun with a mug of coffee while being waited on. We cruised down Commercial Street and found a parking spot right in front of The Farmer's Table, they were about to open (at 9) so their always crowded patio was totally empty.
The Farmer's Table has the sunniest spot on Commercial Street, but as I discovered only once we were seated they don't have the most extensive brunch menu. It's mostly lunch fare, with some omelets and benedicts thrown in, and I really should have checked the menu before we sat. There's no kids menu and very few kid friendly dishes to choose from. The boys ordered bagels and weren't happy about it, but as the sidewalks were starting to pick up with tourist traffic, finding another option (and parking spot) just wasn't worth it.
