Overview

Lechon opened in the summer of 2015 with a vision of continuing to revitalize the downtown landscape, inviting locals and visitors alike to experience Downtown Portland. Housed in the historic Smith's Block Building, the space boasts views of the Willamette River and Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Enjoy fiery South American inspired flavors like grilled octopus, refreshing ceviches, house made empanadas and 28-day-dry-aged rib eye with chimichurri. Our menu is served family-style to encourage sharing and experiencing new flavors together with your friends and family. Lechon is within walking distance to many of historic Portland landmarks, hotels, and shopping. Experience the hustle and bustle of waterfront park by dining outside on our spacious patio, or inside for a more intimate dining experience. Guests can enjoy the 1,300 gallon live jellyfish & coral reef aquariums, the expansive 4-story atrium, or watch the chefs grill on the parilla in our open kitchen.
