Our Story

A Culinary Legacy Rooted in Portland's Heart

Marquam Cafe Plaza was born from a simple conviction: that dining should be an occasion worth returning to. Located steps from the Oregon Health & Science University campus, we have spent over a decade crafting dishes that honor the Pacific Northwest's finest ingredients while embracing bold, contemporary flavors.

Every season brings a fresh perspective to our kitchen. Our chefs source from local farms and waterfront purveyors, ensuring each plate arrives with the vibrancy of the region at its best. The result is a menu that feels both timeless and unmistakably now.
