Bellpine Elevates Portlands Culinary Scene with Innovative Cocktails.
Portland's vibrant culinary scene is highlighted by Bellpine, an elevated restaurant and bar atop the Ritz-Carlton. From its 20th-floor perch, guests enjoy stunning sunset views of Mt. Hood, St. Helens, and Adams.

The bar crafts inventive cocktails, like the Olive Oil Old Fashioned, with prices ranging from $18-$25, often paired with caviar. Chef Jocelyn Chacón's menu features unique dishes such as Hoja Santa Halibut and mango scallop ceviche.
Portland is a place of plenty. Though it generally feels more like a comfortably-sized town, Oregon’s biggest city actually offers enough quality food and beverage to rival any metropolis in the country.
Bellpine is a sleek restaurant and bar, befitting of its address atop the Ritz-Carlton, Portland. Since opening in late 2023, it has bestowed upon tourists – and locals – one of the city’s best sunset views: Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Adams all cast in bright orange during the evening alpenglow.
What you’ll definitely spot on the bar in front of you, however, is an inventive array of crafty cocktails, ranging in price from $18-$25. All of them rely on some DIY modification to attain distinctive individuality.
Robust and savory, the final product finds common ground between a Dirty Martini and the most classic of bourbon cocktails. To underscore the point, guests here can frequently be seen pairing the drink with the bar’s celebrated Golden Osetra caviar service – a swanky fare far more familiar to chilled vodka aficionados than whiskey sippers.
But across the board, this menu is populated by aliments that defy expectations. The clarified milk punch, which has become a staple at modern cocktail venues, is rendered here with cachaça and pineapple/Green Chartreuse foam.
Agave fans can delve far deeper than mere tequila, too, with a skillfully curated spirits list featuring myriad standout mezcals and even half a dozen bottles of raicilla. The density in this particular category is likely by design, as the restaurant’s Chef de Cuisine, Jocelyn Chacón, was born in Mexico.
You don’t need to stay at the hotel to enjoy all of the fine flavors coming together atop this Ritz-Carlton. Which is why Bellpine has firmly established itself as a fancy date-night spot for Portland locals. But those who do reserve an overnight at the property – where rooms start at $515 per night – can enjoy equally enviable views from the comfort of their own California King bed, or from the edge of the influencer-friendly infinity pool.
