Multnomah Falls Lodge

Columbia River Gorge


The Multnomah Falls Lodge offers a fine Northwest-style dining option right at the base of the falls, with dishes like sesame-miso baked coho salmon and a vegetarian Moroccan stew, plus a Sunday brunch ($25 per person). If a berry pie is on the dessert menu, save room.
