Beaverton

About the restaurant

Don’s Favorite Foods is a prix-fixe restaurant created by husband and wife team Chef Don Salamone and Kate Laurents in partnership with Sommelier Adam Galbraith.
Cocktails courtesy of Jeffrey Morgenthaler & "Banjo" Amberg.

Our menu changes monthly and highlights dishes Don grew up with as well as those he mastered though working at Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.

From Don: You may find gnocchi like my Ma used to make or Italian sausage modeled after my Godfather’s, Oreste “Ernie” Capone. You might find scallops still in their shells, Oregon pork in the style of Braciole, & popovers I learned to make from my mother-in-law, Terry, because she makes those every Christmas morning... beef tartare, sea urchin, caviar, etc too. These things are all my favorites.

We hope you’ll find your new favorites here too.

*Note- if you are using a gift certificate to book you must email reservations@donsfavoritefoods.com - do not book through OpenTable. Thank you!*

LaChona Empanadas y Vinos Argentinos

Argentinean

Cedar Mill

About the restaurant

The LaChona brand was born out of a love for sharing incredible wine with close friends and family. Ask any Argentinian what their favorite pastime is and they will likely say “asado con familia”, or grilling with the family. Slow-cooked lechon, fire-kissed chorizo, and hand-crafted empanadas born of generational influences and traditions are all paired with the perfect Malbec, Cabernet Franc, or Semillon every Sunday. This shared familial experience, this act of “pairing” family and fine dining, defines the essence of LaChona’s food and wine experience.

Our waitress was amazing! We were celebrating someone's one year sobriety, and she made them feel like a rockstar for doing it! She was also prompt, polite and friendly!

First time at Cafe Med for pre-Valentine’s was delicious and romantic. Our server was great, and we ordered the special fig infused Negroni and burrata with prosciutto to start. I work in Specialty Foods and I could tell they used high quality ingredients for everything! Warm bread with olive oil and balsamic was lovely. I got the special pappardelle with braised pork and my wife got the white wine parm risotto. Spanish coffee and espresso for dessert! Everything was perfect, ambiance was romantic and not overstimulating. Prices were very reasonable for an upscale place. We will definitely add to our list of regular spots!
