Less than two blocks away. Come for the coffee, stay for the pastries or wide selection of lunch sandwiches. Huge patio shielded from traffic with lush foliage and several tables protected from rain.

Some would say this old school diner absolutely serves up the best breakfast in Vancouver. It's one of the longest continually operated businesses in the city.

Do not be deterred by that line out the door on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Those people know why it's worth waiting to get a seat inside. Dulin's breakfast can go toe to toe on deliciousness and quality with anything Portland can offer.

It's a perfectly fine, even exquisite, breakfast. But I like to line up at the roll-up window next door, peer longingly at the bakery shelves and order at least two of their superb pastries.

Amazing Mexican food. The salsa is a must-have. I once wrote a glowing review about the place for The Oregonian. While that was circa 2010, a 2019 visit proved the quality and menu creativity is still there.

You will find dozens of McMenamins throughout the Portland area, but you'll be hard-pressed to find one with a better location than this one. Arrive early for the happy hour and grab an outdoor table next to the riverwalk.

This newly developed area with shops and scenic views opened in September 2018, instantly transforming a historic, industrial part of the city into a chic collection of restaurants and condos -- all front by an expansive city park on the river.

Long before the Hudson's Bay Company established a trading post -- recreated on today's grounds -- and established a foothold for European arrival, this area was a historic gathering site for Native American tribes who cherished its location next to the bounty of the Columbia River.

If you are able to squeeze in one sight-seeing stop on your Vancouver visit, this should be it. You'll want to stroll to the prow and take in the sweeping views of the Columbia River. Just upriver, a short stroll away, you're bound to notice a water feature (or sculpture) that depicts the topography of the Columbia River Basin. If you visit at night, you're in for a special illuminated treat.
