Best Restaurants Open Sunday in Portland 2026

Why a Sunday list matters in Portland

Portland's serious kitchens keep restaurant-industry hours, and a good number close early in the week to rest their teams. The result is a real gap to plan around: some of the rooms a visitor reads about run a four or five-night week that does not always include Sunday. The ones that do open Sunday are mostly the destination rooms that treat the weekend as prime trade and the neighbourhood dining rooms built for a long, unhurried evening.

The order below leads with Kann, Gregory Gourdet's live-fire Haitian room and one of the most decorated openings in the country, then runs through the French bistro, the Peruvian room, the Italian table and the grill. Portland is not a Michelin city, so the credentials here are James Beard wins and local restaurant-of-the-year honours. Hours are checked against each restaurant's published schedule. Every name links to its full review. For the rest of the week, start with the Portland dining guide.

The Sunday list

Kann

Haitian live-fire · Buckman, Portland · $60–110 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, from 16:00 (Wednesday to Sunday)

Gregory Gourdet's Kann at 548 Southeast Ash Street won the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in 2023, a live-fire Haitian room where everything passes over wood and the menu is built to share. The griot, the poul nan sos and the smoked-fish dishes are the order, with a meal around 60 to 110 dollars a head. It opens Wednesday through Sunday from 4pm, so Sunday is one of its five weekly services. The room is the hottest Sunday ticket in Portland, so reserve well ahead on Resy.

Canard

French bistro · Lower Burnside, Portland · $40–80 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 16:00–22:00

Canard at 734 East Burnside is Gabriel Rucker's all-day French bar, the casual sibling to his James Beard-winning Le Pigeon next door. The duck-stack pancakes, the steam burger and the foie gras are the order, with a meal around 40 to 80 dollars a head. It opens Sunday from 4pm to 10pm, a standing evening option when the dinner-only rooms are dark. The counter is the easiest seat for one or two, and a Sunday at Canard is a low-effort, high-reward way to eat Rucker's cooking.

Andina

Peruvian · Pearl District, Portland · $45–85 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, brunch 10:00–13:30 & dinner 17:00–21:00

Andina at 1314 Northwest Glisan Street has cooked modern Peruvian in the Pearl District for two decades, a family-run room built on novoandina cooking and one of the best pisco lists in the country. The causas, the ceviches and the anticuchos are the order, with a meal around 45 to 85 dollars a head. Sunday is a full day, a brunch from 10 and a dinner from 5. The bar suits a solo seat, and a Sunday brunch in the Pearl is a calm, generous start before the dinner-only rooms open.

Ava Gene's

Italian · Division, Portland · $55–95 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 17:00–21:00

Ava Gene's at 3377 Southeast Division Street is the Roman-leaning Italian room that anchored Division's rise, a produce-driven kitchen built on the Willamette Valley's farms. The handmade pastas, the chicories and the wood-grilled mains are the order, with a meal around 55 to 95 dollars a head. It opens Sunday for dinner from 5pm to 9pm. The room is warm rather than grand, which makes a Sunday dinner here a lingering one, and the counter is the seat to take for a quieter solo meal.

Ox

Argentine-inspired grill · Northeast, Portland · $50–95 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 16:30–22:00

Ox at 2225 Northeast Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard is the Argentine-inspired wood-fire grill that has drawn a line down the block since it opened, all of it cooked over the coals of a custom parrilla. The clam chowder with a smoked marrow bone and the grilled steaks are the order, with a meal around 50 to 95 dollars a head. It opens Sunday from 4:30pm to 10pm. It takes walk-ins and reservations, so a Sunday is a fine night to chance the bar or book a table for a group.

How to book a Sunday table in Portland

Portland is a book-ahead city for its destination rooms and a walk-in city for its bars on a Sunday. Kann is the scarcest seat here, a five-night week with a tight room, so reserve well in advance on Resy for its Sunday service. Andina takes bookings for the Sunday brunch and dinner, with the late-morning slots filling first. Canard and Ox both hold space for walk-ins, which makes either a fine solo-dining seat at the bar, though a Sunday booking guarantees a table at Ox. For a relaxed Sunday first date, the warm room at Ava Gene's is the call; book the early seating. Entertaining a group on a Sunday? Kann's family-style menu and Ox's grill both suit a shared table.

Frequently asked questions

Which good restaurants are open on Sunday in Portland?

Several of the city's best rooms keep a Sunday service. Gregory Gourdet's Kann opens Sunday from 4pm, Gabriel Rucker's Canard runs to 10pm, Andina serves a Pearl District brunch and dinner, and Ava Gene's and Ox both open Sunday evening. Many tasting-menu rooms run a shorter week, so a confirmed Sunday list is worth keeping. For the full week, see the Portland dining guide.

Is Kann open on Sunday in Portland?

Yes. Kann opens Sunday from 4pm, one of five nights a week it serves, Wednesday through Sunday, at 548 Southeast Ash Street. Gregory Gourdet's live-fire Haitian room won the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in 2023, built on shared, wood-cooked dishes. A meal runs about 60 to 110 dollars a head. The room is small and the booking is competitive, so reserve well ahead on Resy.

Where can I get Sunday brunch in Portland?

Andina in the Pearl District runs the standout upscale Sunday brunch, 10am to 1:30pm, with novoandina cooking and a deep pisco list at 1314 Northwest Glisan Street. Canard on East Burnside opens at its usual all-day hours for a casual French menu. Both take bookings for the prime late-morning slots, which fill first on a Sunday, so reserve a few days out for the Andina brunch in particular.

Are most fine-dining restaurants in Portland closed on Sunday?

Some of the tasting-menu rooms run a four or five-night week that does not always include Sunday, so the day is quieter at the top end. What stays open is mostly the destination rooms that treat the weekend as prime trade, like Kann, and the neighbourhood dining rooms built for a long evening, like Ava Gene's and Ox. That is why a confirmed Sunday list is worth keeping in a city that runs industry hours.

What is the best wood-fire restaurant open Sunday in Portland?

Kann and Ox are the two Sunday picks for fire. Kann, Gregory Gourdet's Haitian room, cooks everything over wood and opens Sunday from 4pm, around 60 to 110 dollars a head. Ox runs an Argentine-inspired parrilla on Northeast MLK, open Sunday from 4:30pm, around 50 to 95 dollars. Kann needs a Resy booking; Ox takes walk-ins as well as reservations, so it is the easier Sunday seat.
