Old Wives' Tales Description
Kids aside, this is one of Portland's most popular restaurants. The food's excellent, the atmosphere's casual, and what's not to like about their signature dish of Hungarian mushroom soup? Old Wives' Tales is a kid hot spot primarily because of their playhouse painted like a circus train that has nooks to climb in and places to hide (fun!). They'll devour the food, though, too.
Planning Notes
- Good for food sensitivities. Food allergies, gluten and lactose intolerances, and vegan and low-carb diets are all easily accommodated.
- Order the local favorites. Consider one of the dishes Old Wives' Tales is best known for: Hungarian mushroom soup, healthy salad bar, Moroccan oatmeal, East Indian tofu rancheros, or pumpkin pudding (made with silken tofu; get it warm and topped with whipped cream).
- Know the rules. Warn your kids ahead of time about two key playroom rules: 1. Shoes stay on. 2. No screaming!
- Side dishes make good kid meals. Families may wish to choose children's choices from the Small Plates and Side Orders offerings, like plain fusilli, slices of cheese, and cottage cheese.
