There’s plenty to feast on in Portland proper, but the west side offers some serious gems, too. From juicy burgers to handmade Korean noodles, the following are some of our favorite places west of the Willamette, when you’re out and about with hungry kids in tow. Flip through our album to see them all.

ABV Public House

This new public house is serious about brews, with a beer list you can check online. It also has a genius kids’ menu. In addition to the normal brew pub fare (cheeseburgers and chicken tenders), kids can also choose items a la carte. Choices include hummus and flat bread, kid-sized sweet potato fries, green salad, apple and grapes, or mac 'n' cheese.
