Spring in Catalonia means smoke in the air, romesco on your hands, and long tables filled with grilled calรงots and cold wine.

Weโ€™re channeling that energy with our new salad special.

Spicy Spring greens with fire-grilled @groundworkorganics calcots, white bean and @fiddleheadfarmer leek purรฉe, pinot grisโ€“plumped sultanas, blood orange, pimentรณnโ€“almond tuile and salbitxada vinaigrette.

Layers of charred, smokey sweetness, citrus and paprika โ€”a true celebration of Spring alliums.

Best with a pour of @sonofman.co Etxeko cider or a glass of @buonanottewines Rosalba.

Available now and for the next few weeks at the drive-in.

Together, we built a cookie lineup to match our โ€œGarden Partyโ€ menuโ€”pulling in Mediterranean and Levantine ingredients while keeping things grounded in the familiar, nostalgic flavors we all know.

@dougmiriello grew up in restaurant kitchens in Connecticut, with early memories of his grandmotherโ€™s kitchenโ€”Sunday gravy, manicotti, food as a way of taking care of people.

He cooks from memoryโ€”with quality ingredients, simple technique; just darn good food.

This one pulls from the pasticceria (the bakery counter - like youโ€™ll find at Dimoโ€™s Italian Specialties)... glass cases stacked with cookies, sweet pastries, cakes and cannoli; chocolate everywhere. You donโ€™t pick one thing. You want all of it.

Thatโ€™s what this sundae feels like. All those classic Italian dessert flavors, together in one indulgent cup.

This seasonโ€™s plant-based signature sandwich. A springtime staple that puts cauliflower front and center. We change the set a bit each yearโ€”this time leaning into the flavors of North Africa, specifically Morocco.

Thick-cut cauliflower steaks are marinated in our housemade hibiscus-harissa and roasted hot for a bit of spicy char.

The chutney is the highlightโ€”apricot, caramelized onion, castelvetrano olive, currant, preserved lemon, and tagine spices. Sweet, complex, and packed with flavor.

Chermoula blended with coconut yogurt and a little mayo for a bright, cooling sauce.

Spicy greens, lime-cured onion, crispy lentils, toasted almond crunch. All on a poppyseed Kaiser roll.

Sweet, savory, spiced, a little smoky, herbaceous. If you want to go without meat and not miss it, this is the move.

Also available as a rice bowl for the gluten-sensitive.

On the menu now and through the Spring season.

Nature Club is the outdoor lifestyle extension of @sugarpinedrivein. It started in 2025 as a way to share our love of the Columbia River Gorge and the culture of exploration that surrounds it.

Sugarpine sits at the gateway to the Gorge in Troutdale. Mile marker zero of the scenic Columbia River Highway, just steps from the Sandy River.

Weโ€™ve always thought of this place as a jumping-off point... If the Gorge is Portlandโ€™s playground, Sugarpine is โ€œAdventure HQโ€. Itโ€™s the place you start from, end up at, or come back to.

And Nature Club is built around that rhythmโ€ฆ

New to the specials board starting today...

Part of our Spring Mediterranean menu, this one pulling from Moroccan flavors and the spirit of the Arab souk market - bustling, narrow alleyways lined with colorful spices, rich textiles, and hot grills, where food is built fast and made to enjoy on-the-go.

It starts with grilled chicken thigh โ€” seasoned with fragrant ras al hanout and marinated with yogurt โ€” wrapped in a warm pita with smoked garlic toum. Layered with a cucumber and barberry salad, chicories dressed in smoked olive oil, sumac + lemon-cured onions, and shaved rainbow carrot. Finished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of cool yogurt sauce.

Smoked, spiced, bright and herbaceous โ€” come try one today, weโ€™re open 11 to 5. โœŒ๏ธ

Trail fuel for blossom season.

Inspired by that brief stretch of Spring where the trees light upโ€”full bloom moving coast to Gorge, late March through mid-Aprilโ€”then dropping just as fast.

Dried strawberries and Bing cherries ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’
Matcha almonds ๐Ÿต
Strawberry yogurt raisins
Smoked pecans ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Hazelnuts, pistachios
Sakura arare ๐ŸŒธ

Sweet, nutty, fruity, a little floral, a little smokey.
Snackable, stashable, and just like the blossoms, gone before you know it.

Available now, only at the drive-in.

Chad grew up on this river, has been fishing it for decades, and still spends most of his days off floating it โ€” he knows it like an old friend.

Sugarpine sits where the Sandy meets the Columbia โ€” the confluence of a watershed shaped by glacial sediment, catastrophic flooding, and constant movement. Banks erode, channels migrate. Pools and pockets shift with the seasons. The river is always changing, but Chad knows all the lies. Still, nothing is guaranteed.

The lower Sandy meanders, and the pace out here settles you into it. You let out the lines, paddle through seams, slide into softer water, then reel and repeat. One drift rolls into the next, and somewhere along the way, the pressure to chase a takedown fades, and you lock in.

We call it a โ€œcurrent state of mindโ€ โ€” the river has a way of bringing you back to the moment.

This oneโ€™s for the green thumbs. The garden lovers. The verdant-hearted.

The ones who wait out Winter just to get their hands back in the dirt โ€” first warm days, soft soil, slow circles of nature coming back around.

This seasonโ€™s signature sundae is a dirt cup like you havenโ€™t had before. A parfait-style sundae with layers of nostalgia, Italian coffee, and cocoa:

One of the highlights of our new Garden Party menu is the return of our salad specials โ€” and this oneโ€™s worth coming out for.

Farm greens and wild cress with pea shoots, snap peas, shaved turnips, fennel, and ginger-pickled radish. Toasted farro for a little chew. Whipped sheep + goatโ€™s cheese for richness. Addictive chai-spiced walnuts for the perfect crunch. All tied together with a rhubarbโ€“sherry vinaigrette thatโ€™s bright, tart and savory.

Best eaten outside. Sun on the table, an Aperol Gin Spritz in hand. Here for the next couple weeks.

Happy Spring Break! Come on out to the gorge and join us at the drive-in soon. โœŒ๏ธ

Porchetta is the showstopper of Italian tables โ€” slow-roasted, herb-packed pork served at festivals and street stallsโ€ฆ rich, fatty, and celebratory.

Our spin starts with pork shoulder, smoked low and slow with Italian herbs, garlic, and white wine until tender. Piled onto an @oyatsupanbakers milk bun and layered with slices of roasted belly porchetta, basilโ€“sunflower pistou, pistachioโ€“rosemary aioli, and a bright slaw of rapini, fennel, arugula, and citrus. Also great as a salad or rice bowl for the gluten-sensitive.

This one leans into Italian Spring โ€” rich, savory pork balanced with bitter greens, fresh herbs, a little nutty depth, and bright acidity. Each biteโ€™ll take you to that market stall in Rome โ€” panino in hand, juices running down your wrist, garlic and rosemary in the air โ€” right here on the banks of the Sandy River.

Come get one soon! Available all season at the drive-in. โœŒ๏ธ

If youโ€™ve been walking up to Sugarpine lately and wondering what that incredible smell is drifting out of the kitchenโ€ฆ itโ€™s this.

It starts with a roux cooked low and slow until it turns a deep mahogany. When itโ€™s ready, the most intense brown-buttered aroma fills the whole kitchen.

French technique, West African stews, Spanish spices, and Indigenous ingredients all helped form the tradition. In the late 70โ€™s Vietnamese immigrant communities along the Gulf Coast (and in Texas) added another layer, bringing bright seafood cooking and aromatics to corner store cuisine that helped shape whatโ€™s now known as Viet-Cajun cooking. Chef Ryan Hawkins (@dustest) grew up in the South, so this one hits close to home.

Robert spent the month exploring around the Gorge, Mount Hood, and the Gifford Pinchot โ€” documenting the quiet side of Winter, and what you may find if youโ€™re willing to step out into it.

Snow falling at a waterfall.
A ridgeline disappearing into clouds.
A stretch of trail where everything goes quiet.

And sometimes the best perspective comes when you return to small comforts.

Cold hands and a hot drink.
A stop at your favorite roadside restaurant.
Sharing a meal with friends.

Starting to feel like Spring in the Gorge... The Starting to feel like Spring in the Gorge...

The plum trees are starting to blossom, flowers are waking up in the garden, and the eulachon smelt have returned to the Sandy River โ€” one of the oldest signs that winter is on its way out.

Just over one week left of our Winter Menu. Join us for lunch here on the banks of the Sandy River.
