Brisket, tzimmes, and more from Zupan’s.
| Zupan’s

Hanukkah begins December 18, rolling from one holiday straight into the next — which means even more cooking and feasting, all within a single week. It can be tricky to find latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) around Portland, with its limited number of Jewish delis and markets, but a few Portland-area restaurants, markets, and delis have begun stocking up for the holiday. Those seeking full brisket dinners, a few orders of latkes, or a single jelly doughnut can find them all across town using this map, as well as a few dine-in options for brunch or dinner.

Note: Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

This brand-new Jewish deli in Northwest Portland has an extensive Hanukkah menu available for delivery or takeout, with an assortment of baked goods, dinner entrees, and latkes.

This legendary restaurant, inspired by the food of the former Soviet Republics, is bringing back its latke party from December 18 through December 23.
