Our Food

Portland Spirit is a fine dining restaurant on water unlike anything else in Portland. On every cruise, we strive for a memorable experience for our guests through great service, delicious Northwest food and unbeatable views. With a passion for excellence, we have been locally owned and operated since 1994.

A golden-brown rolled crepe dusted with powdered sugar, topped with sliced strawberries, blackberries, and a raspberry, with a basil leaf garnish. A line of red berry sauce runs along the base on a white plate, and a second pastry is partly visible behind it.

We have no set menus as we use only the freshest ingredients direct from local farms and purveyors. The entrées on the menu change daily, but we always offer a beef, poultry, fish and vegetarian option on the menu. Vegan and gluten-free modifications are available upon request. Please let us know when you book and we will make accommodations.

Dinner Sample Menu

Lunch Sample Menu
A guest holds a plate at a brunch buffet line on a riverboat, with four open stainless steel chafing dishes on a granite counter with wood cabinets. The trays hold golden egg rounds, strips of bacon with tongs, a scramble of eggs, peppers, and potatoes, and more scrambled eggs, each with a small handwritten label. A carved wood sign with a metal cutout of the Portland Spirit hangs overhead, and a fruit bowl and other guests show in the background.
