The City of Milwaukie's culinary scene has greatly grown in the last few years with a mix of restaurants from high end to homegrown, but all have one things in common; they all strive to serve the freshest ingredients available from local farmers markets and farms in the area.
Many of these restaurants are dotted along Milwaukie's downtown, paralleling the Willamette River just a block or so away. With parklets, heated awnings and umbrellaed tables, there is plenty of outdoor seating tucked in between cute retail shops, or take your food to go and eat it riverside and watch the wildlife and water flow by.
