All food, Drinks, Tuktuk rides

Please arrive 10 minutes early; tours depart on time. Vegetarian, dairy-free, no-spicy, and no-nut diets can be accommodated, but vegan and gluten-free cannot. Severe allergies cannot be accommodated and cross-contamination with nuts is possible.
What if I have special dietary requests?
All dietary requests must be communicated at the time of booking. Vegetarian travelers, including pescatarians and those avoiding specific meats, can be accommodated, though not every dish has substitutes. This tour cannot accommodate vegan or gluten-free diets; wheat appears at every stop. Severe allergies cannot be accommodated and cross-contamination is possible. Not all dishes are spicy; the spiciest options are at the third and fourth stops, and no-spice options are available.
How much food and drink will I get?
This is more than a full meal with at least 10 dishes. The largest portions are at the final restaurant, so pace yourself. Local beer and soft drinks are unlimited until the bar, where the first round is included.
Will I need to walk very far?
No. This is a tuktuk-serviced tour covering about 10km across five stops, with only very short walks from the tuktuk to each restaurant. If you have mobility issues, please let the team know.
What happens if it rains or the weather is hot or cold?
Tours run rain or shine; dress for the weather. In rare cases of extreme weather, your guide will cancel the tour and provide a full refund. During extreme air pollution (AQI over 400), tours run but refunds are provided if you cannot join due to health concerns.
Should I sign up for multiple Lost Plate Tours? Are they all different?
Each tour focuses on food unique to its city, with different dishes, stories, and vibes. Many guests join more than one and find the cuisines distinct.

Lost Plate's food tours deliver exactly what Portland visitors hope for: authentic local experiences led by genuinely passionate guides. Herb and Michelle stand out repeatedly for their deep knowledge of Portland's food scene and history, making even locals discover new favorites. The food cart tours seem particularly popular, taking groups through Portland's famous pod culture with generous portions and diverse tastings that push people beyond their usual choices. The coffee and donut tour offers a more relaxed morning vibe, while the urban wine tasting provides an intimate look at local tasting rooms with food pairings. What makes these tours special is how personalized they feel despite being group experiences. Guides engage everyone individually, share stories about the food makers behind each stop, and weave in Portland history during walks between locations. Dietary accommodations like vegetarian options get handled smoothly. The small group sizes keep things intimate, and the tours work equally well for visitors wanting an introduction to the city and locals looking to explore their own backyard from a fresh perspective. Tours typically visit 3-5 stops within easy walking distance of each other.
I had such a great time joining Michelle’s Lost Food Plate tour! Even as a Portland local, I had so much fun and got to explore a few spots I’d never been to before. The coffee and donuts were GREAT, and it was really interesting to see downtown’s coffee culture up close. I thought I knew all these places, but clearly I didn’t! I’d absolutely recommend this tour to friends and family, whether they’re visiting from out of town or locals wanting to experience Portland in a new way. It would also make a fun activity for a group trip!
