Now Open on Resy: Takibi, Street Disco, Oma’s Hideaway, and More

What do you get when you cross a Japanese outdoor store with a locally sourced restaurant group? Throw in pioneering mixologist Jim Meehan and, apparently it’s Takibi. Groups can gather around Snow Peak’s Mini Flame on the patio tables and gorge on braised pork belly served with multicolored camping sporks. Bonus: Try the Suntory Toki Highball machine for a beautifully simple whiskey cocktail, carbonated and blended to perfection.

Spicy coconut noodle soup meets clam chowder in this colorful mishmash of Chinese-Malaysian and New England influences — a tribute to the chef’s grandmother, “Oma.” At the heart of this whimsical remodel of Oma’s Takeaway is the live cooking display, where guests can view pork belly, game hen, and other barbecue delicacies cooked up in the spirit of Southeast Asia’s bustling night markets.

Artigiano combines the laid-back charm of a PDX food cart with the sophistication of a multi-course Italian feast, all accompanied by live jazz. Do as the Romans do and enjoy the companionship while savoring each mouthful of gnocchi. And check out Artigiano for its weekend themed dinners that highlight cuisine from regions like Piemonte and Sicily. The move: Hand the reins to the expert by requesting the chef’s selection. Reservations required.

Don’t forget sunscreen at this open-air rooftop bar that infuses summer spirit into refreshing classic mojitos and strawberry tequila drinks. Pair these colorful cocktails with Cuban-inspired plates like the roasted pulled pork sandwich or the spareribs draped in barbecue sauce. Service will resume indoors after the summer, though the pina coladas remain year-round.

Note: Reservations are released on the day of service at 12 noon.

It’s not a backyard party without tiki rum jello shots and spiked strawberries and cream pudding; just don’t consume too many on an empty stomach. Be sure to add the burger topped with pork belly confit and housemade “awesome” sauce, grilled on the outdoor garden patio. This neighborhood joint is family friendly, so bring the dog (only on the front sidewalk) and the kiddos (anywhere OK).

Salsa, hip-hop, and soul pound through the speakers of this upbeat faux-French wine bar. After choosing from a unique selection of natural wine, experiment with the braised rabbit or one of the many high-end tinned fish selections from Portugal and Spain — think marinated mussels, tuna belly, and octopus. Pro tip: Snag the “snack table,” a private nook for up to eight people where your party can wine and dine in seclusion.

James Beard Award-winning chefs Gabrielle Quiñónez and Greg Denton made Oregonians fall in love with Argentinian beef tongue, heart, and oxtail. Everything, from the timing of the food to the attentive service and the rustic elegance is on point at this fun and friendly fine-dining establishment. Don’t miss the bone marrow clam chowder, a delight for any diner.

Zydeco regularly takes the gold for best dinners and date nights in central Oregon, and it’s easy to see (or taste) why. The shrimp jambalaya and tender roasted duck are must-haves on this South-meets-PNW-inspired menu. Top off the night with made-from-scratch carrot cake and you might have trouble summiting Pilot Butte the next day.
