As some of Portland’s favorite restaurants have shifted to takeout and delivery, many have also pivoted to stocking up your pantries. Whether you’re looking for staples, or hoping to pop a few restaurant-made meal kits in the freezer for those nights when you just can’t cook, they have you covered.
Here’s a collection of some of the top restaurants selling groceries in the Portland area.
BURRASCA
Get a taste of nonna’s recipes with same-day takeout from Tuscan export Burrasca. Order sauces to cook at home, as well as reheatable large-format meals, like Tuscan-style lasagna for eight, meatballs and crespelle alla fiorentina, usually must be ordered in advance. In addition, the restaurant has made its wine list available to go at retail prices. Order here.
CANTINA XICA / XICO
Order in advance for pickup every other day from Mexican standbys Xico and Cantina Xica. Dishes change daily, with options including beef barbacoa meals for 2 to 4 people, burrito packs, frozen tamales, fresh tortillas, chips and dips and more.

DAME
In addition to takeout meals, this Northeast Portland restaurant is offering pasta and other items through its partner, Estes, and you can arrange to have its selection of natural wines delivered to your door; check its website and Instagram page for current choices.

Order here, or send a direct message via Instagram, and pay through Venmo to avoid fees.
