Harlow, Northwest
17 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/askportland20 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many people recommend Harlow for brunch, and a couple of commenters say it is very good or really good. One commenter calls it a well-established Portland pick, and a few mention it as vegan-friendly. Two commenters are not fans (one is not into the menu, one says it is not their favourite), and another who calls it great notes the vibe is earthy-crunchy and less traditional for a group brunch. One commenter suggests it suits a group only if any meat eater can skip meat for one meal. Harlow has more than one Portland location; some comments point people to the northwest side, where the listed location sits.
