If one city could be godfather of the farm-to-table movement, Portland might very well be it. This city’s food scene is rich in both food carts and fine dining options that all use nothing other than locally-sourced ingredients. Stick to this list — illustrated and curated by Wildsam Field Guides — if you find yourself downtown and in need of a bite. View the full map below or grab one at our store.

With her smoked fish, veal tongue and sour cherry dumplings, chef Bonnie Morales transports diners to the Russian countryside, complete with shots of horseradish vodka. Feeling lost? Try the Ruskie Zakuski, kitchen-selected small plates, served cold. 720 SE Grand Ave. kachkapdx.com

Heed the advice of Lardo’s marquee-style signage and “PIG OUT” at chef-owner Rick Gencarelli’s food cart turned sandwich spot, which has been creating cult favorites since 2010. For a pork-free option, get the Pho’rench Dip, shaved beef and sambal mayo on Philippe’s bread with pho broth for dipping. 1205 SW Washington St. lardosandwiches.com
