Garden Bar: Bringing Salad to a Whole New Level

Garden Bar is the first counter-style salad shop in Portland serving healthy and nutritious salads made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Customers can select from 9 chef inspired options or Create your Own by mixing and matching ingredients of choice.

And now Garden Bar is delivering through Portland Pedal Power! We asked Garden Bar to tell us a little about the people behind the scenes of this innovative idea:

Meet Ana and Chris, the yin and yang behind the scenes. Call us health nuts, and we’ll smile. Calls us salad freaks, and we love it. Tell us you love our salads and we say mission accomplished. We created a restaurant where visions of people eating veggies make us smile and a salad isn’t just a plate of lettuce topped with some of this or a little of that, with ingredients from I-don’t-know-where. We are genuinely, completely and utterly obsessed with the potential of the salad as the perfect meal. (Sorry burgers, you had a good run…)

Taste the Mediterranean at Tangier!

There’s nothing like great Moroccan and Mediterranean food. Few genres of flavor offer the same kind of complex tastes and culture that comes with each meal. As luck would have it, Portland is home to some great locations where you can experience the fine edible art from the Mediterranean, and none compare to what Tangier creates in their kitchen!

Tangier is a warm and welcoming family restaurant conveniently located in downtown Portland, quite close to the waterfront. When you show up, you will likely notice Tangier has a casually elegant atmosphere, catering to the exquisitely prepared cuisine that will enhance any dining or celebration experience.

Tangier features an extensive menu, much of which is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. Take a look at a few of the choices you will want to order from our website:

Vegetarian Mezza – Falafel, humus, tabouli, tatziki, spinach pie, zattar pizza, baba ghannouj & veggie grape leaves.

Tabouli Salad – Finely chopped fresh parsley mixed with mint, green onion, tomato, bulgar, lemon juice & olive oil.
