Best Cozy Restaurants in Madison South

I had the pleasure of dining at Trela and could not recommend it more. From start to finish, this is an experience. The ambience was cozy and well curated. The food was delicious. The flavors were authentic to Greek cuisine and it was obvious that every dish was made with care and love. This is a family owned restaurant and you feel like a part of the family when dining. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of Greece in Portland.

Exceptional service with gracious detailed descriptions of the perfectly paced courses. Wine pairings were fun, touching both new and unusual varietals as well as iconic favorites.

Excellent one off menu, beautifully prepared and paced with unobtrusive but attentive staff. Music was loud enough to enjoy but able to converse over, and kept other conversations from being noticeable. Every space had a pair of speakers so you were getting all of the music and not just one channel, and I really appreciate that as it's distracting to me. Everything about dining there is so well thought out. Looking forward to returning for hot pot sometime and visiting jeju as well.

Great service and food. And no one has a better adult beverage selection.

I always leave Kachka feeling like my trip was worth it! Last night was no exception. The flavors are always exciting and unique, but there is still an overarching theme of the food being very comforting. I also cannot compliment their vodka selection enough. We got a vodka flight, and every shot was delicious and surprising. The staff were very friendly and attentive, adding to the charm. PS: If you can go during happy hour, I recommend their little combo plate w/ the cabbage roll and borscht! See my photo.
