Portland's vibrant culinary scene is highlighted by Bellpine, an elevated restaurant and bar atop the Ritz-Carlton. From its 20th-floor perch, guests enjoy stunning sunset views of Mt. Hood, St. Helens, and Adams. The bar crafts inventive cocktails, like the Olive Oil Old Fashioned, with prices ranging from $18-$25, often paired with caviar. Chef Jocelyn Chacón's menu, influenced by her Mexican heritage, features unique dishes such as Hoja Santa Halibut and mango scallop ceviche, complemented by a deep selection of agave spirits. Bellpine has become a premier date-night destination for locals and a sophisticated draw for visitors.
