There is something so fulfilling about savory bite-sized dumplings. These little dough pockets stuffed with vegetables, meat or seafood are a warm welcome during our grey, cold winter. The annual Portland Dumpling Week is celebrating dumplings for its ninth year with specials throughout the city.
Portland Dumpling Week is taking place January 29-February 4, 2023. There are 30 Portland restaurants putting their own fold on dumplings. Some will offer traditional flavors while others are embracing dumpling fusion by serving up a new take on the savory dining experience.
The price for each plate of dumplings is $14 or less. Dumplings are available for dine-in, takeout and delivery depending on the restaurant.
