5513 SE 72nd Ave., 503-774-4470, arletalibrary.com. Breakfast-lunch daily.

Though there's great breakfast to be had daily here, the weekend menu is the star. This family-owned treasure uses local ingredients like Painted Hills natural beef in the Sicilian hash ($12.50) and Pearl Bakery brioche in the battered and grilled pan dolce ($11.50), served with whipped honey butter, organic maple syrup, and seasonal fresh fruit. $-$$.

Willamette Week reports the stories worth knowing, from City Hall to the people and places shaping Portland.
