Café Glendi’s recipe for nearly 30 years in business
At Café Glendi, lunch comes with the smell of Mediterranean food, the hum of conversation and the chance of running into someone you know. The restaurant sits inside Eugene’s 5th Street Public Market Eateries, a well-trafficked food hall populated by independent businesses. For owner Borzi Marashi, it’s more than a place to serve food. It’s a space he has known since he was a student – and one he has helped make his own for nearly three decades.

This Old School Oregon Diner Still Looks Like The 1950s And Serves Generous Comfort Food
Model ’57 Chevys and old Corvettes share wall space with vintage entertainer photos at this small-town Oregon diner. Then the cinnamon rolls show up, and they’re big enough to need their own booth. I noticed that the retro theme here isn’t a single neon sign and a jukebox...

The food sits on a hill with a wide-open look at the Pacific. Fried chicken, pizza, and a big salad bar share the room with soft serve and cinnamon rolls.
