D is for Dorio Cafe & Taverna!

What was once a sort of weird, non-descript coffee/flower shop in NW Portland/Nob Hill area, now features a sweet little wallet-friendly cafe by the name of Dorio. Actually, I'm not entirely sure what in the heck the place was before and I lived in this particular neighborhood for many years. Whatever it was, they clearly didn't make an impression on me and went out of business, I'm guessing.

As I said, Dorio now inhabits the space and comes complete with friendly service and authentic greek delights.

One of our dinner clubbers is greek and is consequently a tough sell. She thought, for the most part, this place with its delicate and savory tyropitas and the layered, queen-of-comfort-food itself, Patitsio was legit. If you want good greek comfort food served by actual greeks in an approachable, unpretentious atmosphere that's easy on the wallet, this is your place! http://www.dorionw.com/
Now on to the food porn...



This was some sort of apple spice cake with icecream I believe. I'm not so much a "dessert person"...but if it's there, I'll eat it. It was in fact Delicious!
