This was a very special experience. It's literally a hidden gem. I never knew it existed and from the outside, you wouldn't either. The quality level is through the roof. Never-mind how good it was. The experience alone was worth going for. Just go and see.

At the time we went there was the power outage. They were able to operate on a more limited menu. The service was great as the waiters helped us and were courteous. Despite the outage, the food was quite good and filling. The decor and vibes were on point and made a highly enjoyable lunch. I had the italian grinder and found it to be enjoyable despite the modification due to the outage (the bun wasn't toasted). While I think it would have been better toasted as it was designed, the waitress was very transparent about the whole situation and at the end of the day, a good sandwich is a good sandwich. I would definitely eat here again.

Cute little brunch/lunch place in kinda a weird part of town. You'd never expect the inside from walking by. Bright and airy. Lots of cute seating on the enclosed patio. Service was nice and efficient. Small menu, not a ton of options for a pescatarian but went with the salad (which was basically a lot of lettuce) and a yummy cheese board with 3 cheeses. Also split the crab omelette which was pretty good. Fave part was the purple noon drink.

Came for lunch and for my first meal in Portland, it really set the bar high! Service was exceptional and had a yummy cocktail to start with. I love sandwiches and The Randy really called to me because I'd never seen a sandwich with ham, apples, blue cheese, hazelnuts, frisee, shallots and aoili. It was hands down the best sandwich I've ever had! Everything was so fresh, the sweetheart ham was savory, and the touch of hazelnuts was crunchy and fabulous. We also ended with the chocolate torte and it was divine. Would definitely be back especially for the sandwich!

We were out last night looking for some new & interesting dining and discovered this really trendy eatery . There atrium was magnificent to dine in as we ordered an Italian charcuterie board for our starter. We followed with a tequila Negroni that was sooo goooood Next was a yummy dish of prawns in a buttery sauce - they were cut thin with the whole prawn wow!!! Great service from the dining staff and 4 sure a repeater for us. Bon Appetite Ronn just Ronn The hole in the wall food guy

During our visit to Portland during Labor Day weekend (yes...very delayed review), we hit up Olympia Provisions not once, but twice! It was really that great for us! We were seated in the back area, which is very open and well lit. It's a rather interesting space in that area but I found it quite pleasant. Our dinner eats: Homemade Focaccia This was some very delicious focaccia. We were all over it. When we returned for happy hour a couple of days later, I asked about it since it wasn't automatically given. Unfortunately, it's not ready yet for happy hour. Spanish Charcuterie Board $28 I love a good board - cheese, meats, all of it. This version had three Spanish salamis, sweetheart ham, fresh chorizo, fried almonds, miticana, and piquillo pepper salad. (We were actually at a Farmer's Market earlier that day and did not realize we had actually sampled and purchased some of the salami from the Olympic Provisions booth. On our way out, I noticed the salami in the fridge available to purchase and recognized it then.) Steak Tartare $18 x 2 I love a great steak tartare and theirs did not disappoint. It was so good that we had a second order. The kids really enjoyed their version, as it was the second time having it that weekend. They do an amazing job with hand cutting the meat and it's amazingly fresh and just delightful. One of the best versions I've had. Heirloom Tomatoes $16 It had such great flavors with the tarragon, cottage cheese, and focaccia crumbs. Octopus a la Pancha $24 Tender and not overcooked, with a great salsa verde on top. Cantabrian Brown Anchovies $7 Anchovies on Normandy butter on baguette, pretty simple and delicious. Our return visit 2 days later for happy hour... Tinned La Brujula Sardines $17 Another board - simple with canned sardines, pickled onions, butter, lemon...I probably need to start serving it this way at home. Steak Tartare $18 x 2 This did not disappoint. We got two orders again and everyone is just fighting for the last bit. Overall, both visits were great! Service was personable, generally attentive (more so at dinner than at happy hour), and an enjoyable experience all around. The food looked and tasted amazing and left such a memorable impression of Portland on us. Months later and we still talk about Olympic Provisions.

Another great visit to Olympia Provisions! I actually branched out a little and ordered the quiche. It was delicious! It is crustless and a bit smaller than anticipated, but it still lived up to the OP standards. I asked for a side of jam for my baguette and it was some of the best apple & berry jam I've ever had. As always, the service was excellent and the dining area was clean and cozy. I just can't stay away from this place!

Yes. Two French boards. And we ate it all and loved it. Will be back! Drinks are good. Food is great. Music is great. They kindly sat us about 30 mins before our reservation. Love this place

There are a lot more hidden gems in the Central Eastside industrial district than most people realize, as the rough exteriors of these crusty, crumbling constructions conceals these treasures from untrained, unadventurous eyes. Olympia Provisions is one of the best examples of these sequestered sanctuaries: from the outside, this rugged rise of corn-colored concrete practically encourages you to look the other way as you pass by. Other than the easy-to-miss neon "restaurant" sign and the half-open sliding barn doors give any hint as to the wonderful things that await within. What are those things, you may ask? A singular selection of craft cocktails and charcuteries, with all manner of cold cuts and cheeses, shareable sides, and hearty entrées both small and large, all served up in a classy, "secret-speakeasy-meets-deli-counter" ambiance that transports you away from the fragged-and-tagged downtown dystopia just outside its walls. My wife and I split the Italian charcuterie board, as well as a three-cheese selection (choosing a bleu, a goat and a sheep's milk manchego), a glass of crisp, dry white Jacquerre, and a "Terra Incognita" mezcal cocktail: light, citrus-y, and satisfyingly strong and sour. Charcuterie boards are all the rage these days, and Olympia Provisions capitalizes on this trend with profound, potent and pungent proteins of all peculiarities. Our Italian board consisted of two fantastically thick, hard salamis, nice spiced mortadella (with a curiously "autumn" flavor profile; try it and you'll understand what I mean), a juicy Italian sausage that would be very welcome on any breakfast or brunch menu, an assortment of olives, and a robust, fragrant, semi-soft spreadable Taleggio. And baguette slices, of course. Our cheese plate was an exceptional edible arrangement of various tastes and textures, from the smooth and bitter bite of the bleu, the soft and spreadable goat, and the dense but delightful sheep's milk manchego, which was reminiscent of a hard cheddar, and my personal favorite, particularly when paired with the similarly stout salamis. Although, truth be told, the best thing about charcuterie is mixing and matching each element to discover new and exciting flavor combinations, and there was no configuration of these ingredients that disappointed in any way. Finding what works for you is part of the fun! This Olympia Provisions location is a perfect example of why you should never judge a book by its cover, as doing so would deprive you of some truly impeccable edibles, cunning cocktails, an enchanting environment, and stellar service. Don't knock the best butcher on the block (and among the best in the whole city)!

When traveling to Portland I think about 2 things - food & wine. Not far off those important topics are the meats & the cheeses. Olympia Provisions is an institution of cured meats, making the most delicious things the best way, humanely and sustainably. It's having your sausage and eating it too! So many nice things to say... one of my favorite brunches in town (Benedict is on POINT with that sweetheart ham), open all day to charcuterie sampling, lots of local wines for dine-in and take-out, but also the SAMMICHES. Anything called Randy has my attention, but this one has loads of ham layered with thinly sliced apples, blue cheese blending with delicate aioli and frisée topped with crunchy toasted hazelnuts on Ciabatta that's at once light-as-air and richly satisfying. I wish I could package and ship these in the subscription package, just TOO MUCH to love. Of note - and this is really something, because Portland isn't known for its service, Logan is cool and fun and a knowledgeable steward of the Meat Dept. He served up a gorgeous sparkling blaufrankisch followed by a new fave - Bow & Arrow's rose. Only downside was not having room for dinner.
