Lardo

Top choice in Portland


Definitely in the running for Portland's best sandwich, Lardo's take on Korean pork shoulder is outstanding – and that's on a menu of a dozen truly fantastic sandwiches. Try a guest-chef creation, different each month, and don't skip the addictive dirty fries, with Parmesan and pork scraps.

There's another location downtown at 1205 SW Washington St.
