- Golden Valley Brewpub (Old Town McMinnville), 503.472.2739 (For large groups; European style, NW Cuisine) 980 East 4th street, McMinnville. "Even McMinnville's pub fare is going local. Much of the menu at Golden Valley Brewery is filled with standard suburban specialties like fettuccini in cream sauce, but the burgers and steaks are from the brewery's own ranch, Angus Springs. Golden Valley is one of a small group of independent restaurants that raise their own cattle; the menu notes there are as few as a dozen such ranch-owning restaurants in the country. On a recent visit, a 10-ounce New York steak, topped with peppercorns and a creamy marsala sauce, was accompanied by a frighteningly giant steak knife and uninspired scoops of mashed potatoes and summer squash. But the meat -- medium-rare with a lightly charred crust and tender fat -- was superb." Bon Appetite Magazine

The "bodega platter" emphasizes La Rambla's approach. Chorizo, cheeses and olive oil from Spain are served with bread from the local Red Fox Bakery, where baguettes, sourdough loaves, raisin bread, sweets and more are baked fresh each morning" Bon Appetite Magazine
