About this business

Such is the popularity of this Northwest Portland institution that it's difficult to obtain a table here at the last minute. Taking its name from a celebrated Viennese composer, Papa Haydn serves up an excellent selection of American comfort food in an elegant environment. The menu is diverse and offers a superb selection of meat and seafood entrees along with a good choice in sandwiches and salads. Try the Albacore Pasta, the carbo-lover's delight. Be sure to sample one of their famous desserts, like the berry tart. Enjoy a... read more

Hard to argue – I've sampled four different dessert varieties, they're hit and miss. The Peanut Butter pie was a bit too buttery, but still good. The "Cassata" was a disappointment. Prices are a tad high, but if I owned the place I'd do the same thing, as there's no shortage of customers. Why the early close on Sundays? The guy who runs the dessert display window could use an attittude adjustment. Food is average; onion soup was above average.

Bring a friend – Great spot for people watching. The desserts are always big enough to share.

Perfect end to an evening – A group of friends came here after a wonderful evening of dancing, and this just wrapped it up with sparkly ribbons. Now (several years later) the only part I remember of the night is this restaurant. I would definitely go back! The desserts were all we had but the quality was better than anywhere I've been. I mean Serious gourmet here. Wow!! The key lime cheesecake is to die for, as well as the chocolate rasberry cake. MMMmmm...

pretty good food – I have eaten here on different occasions and really enjoy the atmosphere. The breakfasts are excellent and most of the dinner options are full of flavor. I do think that they need to add more vegetarian choices though. The drinks and desserts are always a treat!

Go for the dessert! – Desserts are some of the most impressive in the U.S. Rest of food is tasty as well. This is one of our favorites in Portland.

Worst Brunch in Portland – My girlfriend and I went to Papa Haydn's one Sunday morning for brunch. Sunday brunch has become something of a tradition for us, so we can compare Papa Haydn with easily 20 other places around town. This was the worst. Her Eggs Florentine featured two solid egg yolks on--no kidding--one piece each of spinach and mushroom, each sitting on limp English muffin halves. My french toast was dry. Like sawdust. We pointed this out to the waitress, who nicely comped us our lattes, and assured us that this ... read more

A Dulce Date – This place definately has the best desserts in Portland. They are rich and to say the least... satisfying. Its a good place to go late at night... its classy, so its a good place to take a lady-friend. Sharing a dessert over a glass of wine is sure to win her over. The service may lack at times, but give them a break. They are just average Gen-X'ers who work in food service. Besides, the food and ambience easily outweigh any shortcomings.

Fantastic desserts – I've never had a bad dish at Papa Haydn, though I don't generally go here for anything but dessert (which is a meal in itself). Chocolate desserts are deliciously sinful. A lovely spot to stop before or after a show. Romantic. Typical Northwest parking, though...
