2 Best Restaurants in The Willamette Valley and Wine Country, Oregon

Opened back in 1991, this Dundee institution has long been known for luring Portlanders away from their own restaurant scene, offering country-French fare cooked lovingly with locally grown produce. Service is as intimate and laid-back as the interiors; a double fireplace divides the dining room, with heavy glass brick shrouded by bushes on the highway side, so you're not bothered by the traffic on Highway 99.

Located in the bustling 5th Street Market, this renowned Eugene restaurant works with local farmers to bring fresh, local, and oftentimes organic food to the table. Specialties include salmon, halibut, sturgeon, and beef tenderloin, braised pork shoulder, and outstanding local oysters paired with an extensive wine list featuring lots of Oregon wines.
