The Frying Dutchman is so consistently good! They always have exciting specials and the menu staples are delicious! It’s an affordable meal and ingredients are always fresh. The calamari and Korean cheese corn dogs are amazing, as are the from scratch desserts (esp. the chocoflan). Fun atmosphere in the Public Market Building too!

My wife and I had the BEST brunch at The Frying Dutchman in Monument Squares Public Market House last Sunday…. First off the creativity and execution is incredible. We got the Florentine eggs Benny fries and the Lavender Rose Dalgona Coffee ( which was unlike anything I’ve ever had before, and I’ve had lots of different types of coffee! ). Dining here was such a unique experience to taste this type of twist on eggs Benedict and a morning coffee. The flavors were OUT of this world!!! You NEED to try this restaurant. You can taste the passion in the food, the service is outstanding, and you get the best view of monument square from above. Highly recommend ! No where in Portland is offering this type of dining. What the heck are you waiting for ?! We will for sure be back monthly 🙂

Amazing fries! The Dutchman crew might have the best fries in the city; perfectly crispy without being overcooked and just a little salty. The toppings are delicious and unique, and I think adding onion technically makes a cone of fries a salad. Owners are both friendly and clearly know and care about their menu. I had the Specaal (sp?) and a few of the toppings they recommended on the side.
Update: The new menu items are great. Love the calamari and curry chicken.

The Dutch fries are perfectly crispy and soft on the inside, and the homemade sauces and onion on top are such a fresh compliment. The cannoli had the best coffee ice I’ve ever had on the inside. The service was so great and it’s amazing to see such capable and eager new faces on the Portland food scene.

I came to The Frying Dutchman during the lunch rush and couldn’t decide between the salt & pepper calamari and the mapo poutine. Honestly though, the entire menu looked so creative and mouthwatering that it took me several minutes to narrow down what I wanted. Fresh Maine potatoes? Housemade sauces to go with everything like classic Dutch and Thai red curry mayos? Korean ramen cheese dogs? Sign me up. I was so indecisive that I ended up getting both dishes, and boy let me tell ya…
The salt & pepper calamari was lightly battered and seasoned to perfection. It was a ball of amazing flavor in every bite. It didn’t have that super chewy texture you’d find at most restaurants; instead it had a subtle chew but was ultimately smooth and tender, with a mild crispy touch to boot. I didn’t think calamari could be served that way, but there I was, and I couldn’t stop eating. I’m glad I took some photos before I tried it, because I’m not sure if there would be anything left by the time I’d have remembered to do so. It was absolutely scrumptious!
Now for the mapo poutine…it was wonderfully delicious! Who knew a Sichuan mince beef gravy went so well with fries? The fresh local cheese curds and hot chili oil complimented the whole thing to make it one of the best poutines I’ve ever had. It was a bomb of savory flavor with just the right amount of spices. It was quite addicting, and yet it didn’t feel too heavy – I’m thinking the fresh ingredients had something to do with that. It just tasted so, so good!
I’m seriously considering visiting Portland again just to try the rest of the unique menu at this place. It was THAT good – I couldn’t recommend it more!

Got the eggs florentine fries and the Korean cheese corndog. Both super delicious! The fries and the corndog were perfectly crispy and the toppings on both were yummy.
Even though the portions are very generous for the price, do not skip on dessert! We split a choco strawberry flan cake slice, which had a perfectly balanced level of sweetness. I would absolutely recommend trying this place for a great lunch or brunch of street food!

Loved the Frying Dutchman, arrrrrrrh!!!!! Ha! They’re on the second floor of the Public Market. The gentleman operating the location is very kind. We assumed he is also the location owner. We had their Classic with Garlic Mayo, Curry Ketchup, and Gochujang Mayo, and Chopped Onions. Yum! The gentleman also kindly made me a hot coffee that was great. It was a small to-go cup but it was packed with flavor for a little guy. I felt plenty buzzing after drinking it. When you’re in the area, enjoy some items from all the vendors. They all have a lot to offer. I plan on trying the Jamaican stall, and the Pho stall next! Enjoy!

This is now my go-to place in Portland for a treat. I mean… fries make any day better! The Kalamata mayo is my favorite dipping option, and whatever the special on the secret menu is (which you can only find out about if you follow them on Instagram.) The vibe of the space is so creative and the owners are awesome to chat with. Also, the olibollen are heaven in fried dough form, definitely try those!

The Frying Dutchman is a delicious spot for quick bite when you’re in downtown Portland! Everything was very affordable for such an artisanal menu. We got the fried calamari, korean corn dog, and the chocolate flan for dessert. I can’t wait to go back for more!

Excellent place. My wife and I ordered Korean Cheese Dogs, Curry Fried Chicken, and Small Poutine Fries to split and the owner gave us a dessert for free on top of it. Super nice guy and love the building it is in. I wish we were here longer so we could have tried the other restaurants in the public building.
