And the Winner Is....

Bintliff's received the top number of votes in the "Best Breakfast in Portland" poll. With 20% of the votes, it beat out The Front Room and Pepperclub/Good Egg Cafe which garnered 15% and 14% of the votes respectively.

Hot Suppa and Marcy's received 8% of the votes, while Bayou Kitchen, Becky's Diner and Porthole's tied with 5%.

Big Mama's and Mims had a few loyal fans, receiving 4% of the votes each; Ruski's, Brea Lu Cafe and O'Natural's trailed the pack.

"Hotel" restaurants don't appear to have many fans in Portland - neither Eve's (Portland Harbor Hotel) nor Twenty Milk Street (Portland Regency) received any votes. Neither did The Works Bakery or Star East Cafe.

A Bintliff's customer for over 15 years, I've seen the ebb and flow in quality as various owners have slipped in and out. It's never been better than when Roger Bintliff was at the helm - which he is not currently. Still, I have to agree with the masses who voted for Bintliff's. With its diverse and creative breakfast menu, Bintliff's is still the best spot in Portland for a casual breakfast.
