The garage sale embellish ments of the interior give a wann-and-fuzzy- dice kind of feeling, while the “beaters” on the menu include familiar automakers of the gold en age like Fiat, Volvo and the cleverly dubbed Spudabaker. Breakfast here is consistently deli cious and cheap (hardly anything more than $8) and the diverse clientele ever amusing. If you lose your appetite in the presence of orange glass grapes or are allergic to teal vinyl seats, then stay far, far away. Heiser’s on Alberta • 1538 N.E. Alberta St. The G\ORGfO's hey say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why do we often neglect it or settle for less than the best? For many Portland elite food snobs, din ner is the only meal to be judged, critiqued and praised. Well, to hell with dinner. Here are three fantastic places to start your day, no mat ter what your tost de culinaria. ^effauratd A liar 1700 ne broadway 503.331.1200 ith all the neighborhixxl cafes and break fast places popping up around NoPo, Heisers may appear to be just a sheep in a flock. But one glance at the menu is testa ment to the unique breakfast encounter to he had here: a rich selection of Benedicts, pan cakes, hashes and the Loch Ness of breakfast cuisine, the elusive Scotch egg (hard-boiled, wrapped in bratwurst, breaded and deep-fried, yeah). Items like brioche French toast, tri-tip steak and eggs, and pear and Havarti pie are delicacies highly uncommon around P-town morning joints. Heisers is genuinely fine break fast dining. From the service to the homemade gravy, everything is top-notch. Cameo Café and Pancake House • 2340 N.W. Westover Road ocated in a hot spot just off Northwest 23rd, this Victorian-style restaurant can get lost in the hive of boutiques surrounding it. One of my old-time favorite breakfast joints (espe cially for special occasions), Cameo has an atmosphere that can range from quiet, roman tic mxiks for two to boisterous family-friendly rooms for 30. Regardless, the food is always stellar. Ordered by the “acre,” Cameos famous pancakes are enormous, like a blanket draped over a plate. Service is lightning fast for a two- story restaurant that seats a seemingly infinite number of people. Little details make this breakfast home a standout experience worth the extra moolah—from mochas served in old milk bottles to fresh-squeezed juices, cxihs and aahs are guaranteed. |M L THURSDAY IS QUEER NIGHT • -Happy -Hear /(lean • "Rar HU 9 • G cnt^cvtnbiy Upscale • 4:30 "p/U. tc 11:30 p/U (present this ad fic>r firee appetizer) 3135 NE BROADWAY 503.281.8337 Have a restaurant suggestion?
