Who We Are 🥂

Lansdowne Social is a NE Portland neighborhood restaurant with a communal dining concept, all about good food and great company. Twice a night we serve up a rotating, five-course, prix fixe menu of the best seasonal ingredients from the Pacific Northwest, led by Executive Chef Martin Pfeifer. Leaning into the social atmosphere, we also offer an afternoon tea service, as well as an optional beverage pairing during the dinner social, thoughtfully curated by Beverage Director, Chris Mateja.

Think cozy dinner party vibes—welcoming, laidback, and where you just might find your new best friend over a glass of wine —minus the cleanup.

Come see what we’re about. We’ve saved you a seat!
