Salvador Molly’s
I am not a foodie. I am way too finicky about what I eat and have digestive trouble with a lot of food. When I go to a restaurant it’s usually because of the atmosphere. Thus I went to Salvador Molly’s in southwest Portland.
The idea behind this small cafe/restaurant is that the world is full of fabulous cultures and wonderful food traditions. Their menus are made of recipes gathered during their travels around the world as well as the decor in the restaurant. They say the best part of their travels is sharing it with others. Now I can really get behind that!
Each booth in the cafe is full of memorabilia from different nations. When I went, my booth was decorated with things from Vietnam and neighboring countries. There were trinkets, decor, postcards, etc. The table was decoupaged with post cards, maps and tickets to attractions in the country. The light overhead had a shade of post cards.
They even have a computer tucked into a corner where you can check out the blog: Traveling Friends of Molly. Here you’ll find food ideas, recipes, stories, pictures; anything about travel and dining worthy of sharing.
Their menu has some interesting sounding dishes. They call it food without borders which means they mix and match dishes from Ethiopia, Hawaii, Thailand, New Orleans and Jamaica. For lunch I had a sandwich made of jerk chicken and mango sauce. My son-in-law had a volcano sandwich which was a very spicy pulled pork.
If you’re looking for a quaint little restaurant with entertaining decor and interesting food, you should check out Salvador Molly’s.
