Mediterranean Restaurants in Oregon

When Guy Fieri brought his red Camaro to the Pacific Northwest, he discovered that Portland has become an unexpected hotspot for Mediterranean cuisine. Between 2016 and 2020, the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives crew visited three standout Mediterranean spots in Oregon’s largest city, and the flavors they found were nothing short of spectacular.

Leading the pack are Swiss Hibiscus and Ataula, both earning impressive 4.8-star ratings from hungry diners. These Portland gems showcase the diversity of Mediterranean cooking, from traditional Spanish tapas to creative fusion dishes that blend Old World techniques with Pacific Northwest ingredients. Aviv rounds out the trio, bringing its own unique take on the cuisine to Portland’s vibrant food scene.

With an average rating of 4.7 stars across all three restaurants, it’s clear that Portland takes its Mediterranean food seriously. Whether you’re craving perfectly grilled meats, fresh seafood, or house-made flatbreads, these Guy-approved destinations prove that you don’t need to cross an ocean to experience authentic Mediterranean flavors—just head to Oregon.
