If you've never tried Moroccan food before, let this be your first encounter. This hole in the wall restaurant is a hidden treasure located in northwest Portland. With low tables and copious wall hangings, it feels like you've walked into Morocco itself. Hold on for flavors like none other as you eat your way through five delicious courses. If you like lamb, you must try the Lamb M'Rouzia. It will change your life. http://marrakeshportland.com/

The grownup doughnut.
"Our donuts are made from a classic brioche recipe that originated in the south of France. The dough takes 18 hours to make and is made by hand every day; we start with a high quality bread flour, add cage-free eggs, whole hormone-free milk, and then fold in a European-style butter. Our donuts, glazes, and fillings are made fresh throughout the day, and we only cook our donuts in rice oil." In a word, yum.
