Ultimate Northwest
September/October 2008

It's amazing to think that Lauro is a mere 5 years old, so widespread has been its eastside dining influence and example in the Portland restaurant boom. Recently the eclectic menu has subtly transformed to accommodate more influences from the Arab side of the Mediterranean as well as Portugal, familial homeland of chef/owner David Machado. Greek, French, Spanish and Italian dishes are still present, as is a solid cheeseburger with fries.
