Mediterranean Exploration Company

My new favorite restaurant in Portland, I'm sorry LeChon. I had to do this to you. MEC is phenomenal. The flavors, presentation, THE PITA... its heavenly. After visiting 4 times in the last month with another reservation scheduled for next week I've had my fair share of the menu and can easily recommend this lovely spot to anyone. If you haven't been to MEC, you must, and you won't regret it. The crispy lamb hummus is my current fav, the baked feta is a show stopper. The most recent one had peaches and it tasted like a dessert. You truly can't go wrong here. Current favorite drink is the curry favor!

Love the Arak and a Hard Place cocktail, yellowtail collar, octopus and fried chicken. The short rib was just okay for me.

Delicious experience but I think portions were small for the price. Service was fast and good. They don’t have happy hour on Sundays which is a bummer.
