Olympic Provisions Southeast
Tucked into one of Portland’s beautifully restored industrial buildings, Olympic Provisions Southeast has grown from the city’s first USDA salumeria to being a destination for refined, European-style dishes. Our menu is guided by the capable hands of chef Alex Yoder, and reflects an innovative approach to the traditions of rustic European cooking. Yoder’s dishes highlight our housemade charcuterie, locally-sourced meats, and seasonal vegetables. Come to enjoy a unique meal of family style plates or traditional entrées under our glowing MEAT sign. Our extensive wine list will provide an excellent complement to your dinner, with a focus on Old World wines alongside our local favorites. With the sleek industrial design reflecting warm candlelight, the romantic ambience of European dining is alive and well at Olympic Provisions SE. We accept reservations of 5 or larger at lunch/brunch, and all sizes at dinner. Some tables are reserved for walk ins. Please call for parties of 9 or larger.

"We were a party of 5 and all of us enjoyed the food, ambience and service. The chilled soup was incredible! The italian board was a must and the beef rib was incredible. Great place. We will be back!"

"Dined at OP in SE PDX a few nights ago and couldn't have been more impressed and pleased. I wanted to find a restaurant for our guests from LA, and this one had been on our list for a while. Beautiful spring night in Portland, we were seated right on time, and immediately admired the decor; a mix of industrial, kitchen, innovative wine shelves, and the beautiful charcuterie display cabinet.
We all had wonderful meals but the highlights were the mixed olives, the Italian charcuterie plate, and a soup made of almonds, garlic and other ingredients that was served chilled.
All in all, a perfect dining experience. I am looking forward to trying OP in NW PDX next time."

"I have eaten at 2 of the 3 'Provisions' and have always enjoyed the food. Well prepared and quite tasty.
The environment is good for small groups or couples. Not appropriate for larger groups.
Being a NW establishment, I would state without equivocation that the proprietors would do well to expand their ale selection. While wine is nice, at $$$ for a minimal volume, I'd frankly prefer a nice ale or beer with my meal.
The selection of starters are delicious, salads, and the main dishes are extremely satisfying. This is not a spot for vegan, or those concerned about the consumption of meat.
I'd give it a thumb and 3/4... and that due to the lack of appropriate NW beverage!"

"Made an online reservation for 6. Arrived on time and was seated within 5 minutes! Entrance was hard to find but, boy howdy was it worth it! Food was spectacular. Eye rolling, lip smacking delicious. We did brunch on a Sat. and it was busy. Tag team servers made sure we were well cared for. And let's talk about their Coffee! Cold brewed heaven in a cup. I had 5 cups. Am not ashamed. Will go back just to indulge in a platter filled with some of the most incredible smoked and cured meats with a huge variety of specialty cheeses. Parking was free and easy- peasy. Not a lot of tables and very close. Not intimate but just a great experience overall. Thanks!"

"Great ambiance, wonderful Charcuterie and great wine, but definitely at a price! We had a group of 5, with 2-bottles of wine and one charcuterie platter, a cheese platter, an order of olives and one salad. The platters were small for the price. Total with wine came to over $200 with a descent tip. The quality was good, but the value wasn't. Wine list was on the more expensive side. We had two bottles of an OK Oregon Pinot at $60 each, which was part of the reason for the bill being what it was."

"Stumptown coffee, awesome! The Loren drink was also tart ans bubbly. Quite nice! Amongst the hash, biscuits and gravy, and capicola sandwich, these diners enjoyed the taste but felt the salt could have been reduced considerably in these dishes. The french charcuterie plate was quite tasty as well. No one can do pickled veggies quite like OP! Service seemed laid back/relaxed, so enjoy, and don't be in a hurry!!"

"super cool place. in the middle of nowhere. they hang meats/ cure them right there. neat scene. you can sit and watch the chefs prepare your food. wall of wine you can go select your own. they write the price right on the bottle which makes it very easy to choose a bottle. the portions are very small (hence "small plates") - you will need to order a lot of plates to get full. Our table of four- 3 cocktails, apps, dinner (many small plates), bottle of $42 wine, 1 dessert to split - came to $360."
