Consistently excellent food. Great service as well. Best breakfast in the city, and a very solid dinner as well. Most of the servers are excellent.

Owner Message
  • Mr. Besaw introduced simple and delicious home cooking once he was the sole proprietor. Prohibition was repealed in 1916 and Besaw's was granted the first liquor license in the state of Oregon. The cafe quickly became the most popular meeting place in the neighborhood, with a reputation for a pleasant drink, a scrumptious meal and lively conversation.

    Today, this remains Besaw's recipe for success. You can still sit at the same elbow-rippled mahogany bar that?s quenched the thirst of so many since the turn of the century.
