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

Desserts!!! – While entertaining out of town guests, I decided to try Papa Haydn. I had heard a lot of positive things about the restaurant and it's famous desserts. The botton line is that the Papa Haydn lives up to it's reputation of great desserts. Parking could be much better, but the location is in a fun upbeat area. The only down side to our visit was the fact that they were not able to accomodate a dish for everyone in our party. One of our guests is a Vegan and Papa Haydn was not able to create something. However, be... read more
Cake – Despite how good it looks and how many times I keep going back to try various types of cake on the dessert menu (hoping it will improve), the cakes I have tried are always too dry, too sweet and lacking nice, rich texture of flavors. I have no idea why Papa Haydn's dessert keeps being so highly rated, but I find them lacking - at least where the cake is concerned.
Over rated – Visited several weeks ago with my wife and another couple. The service was very slow (and they weren't that busy). The desserts were visually very nice. Eating was not so great. Flavors were flat and had the impression vegetable oil was used instead of butter. Overall, was very dissapointed from a quality view.
Simply the Best overall restraunt in Portland - We live in Denver, but everytimr we are in Oregon we have dinner at Papa Hayden's. Without question, the BEST desserts in Oregon.
A Selection to Salivate Over – I have had better desserts than those served at Papa Haydn's, but not many. Their Autumn Merengue is a chocolate-lover's dream, and their Berry Cobbler with a scoop of their vanilla ice cream is unbelievably refreshing. But where Papa Haydn's truly shines is in their selection and display. With over 20 desserts to choose from every night, you can always try something new. Just seeing all of those beautiful cakes and pies right on the other side of the display case is enough to send a non-diabet... read more
Not only dessert also good food – I used to just go to papa haydn for dessert. A portion of cakes is big and most of desserts are good. you can look at all the cakes before you choose. Good food and good dessert. Not good coffee though.
A Solid Experience – My main complaint with this restaurant is that parking is impossible, but it's impossible for everything else in the area, and I knew what I was getting into, so how much can I complain? I came mid-afternoon, so getting a table was very easy, although I've heard of long waits. The service was good, but not incredibly so. The entrees were good and wholesome, but simple. I have no complaints because they were priced very fairly for what they were. We shared two desserts, a boccone dolce and a fleur de lys.... read more
Skip the Cake! – Some of the most delicious goodies I've ever eaten! Enough to satisfy almost any sweet tooth. However, you might want to skip the cakes. I prefer moist, rich cakes. PH's tend to be on the dry side. Very dissapointing. Also, I find the hours rather inconvenient (particularly on Sunday), and it is often crowded.
Mixed feelings – Great atmosphere and usually the wait staff is courteous/experienced. But weve also been highly disappointed on many occasions as well stale cake covered w/ ganache, poor food presentation, poor service (got coffee??), etc. Its a toss of the dice.
